Pirating Adventures [part 1]

I am fighting every urge to do one large post about our Pirating Adventure on the High Seas. I will break it down to more than one. I have enough pictures to post about nothing else until winter. 

Our adventure started out as smooth as possible. It only took us 12 hours to get down to our Orlando Hotel. We packed our food for the trip down to limit stopping time, so when we arrived, we had time to head to Downtown Disney for dinner and sightseeing. 

Our hotel was 0.9 miles from Downtown Disney. We should have walked. I am not exaggerating when I say we were in the parking lot for 30 minutes looking for a spot. You can imagine the celebration when we saw a family walking to their car RIGHT IN FRONT OF US. We could not have been more exctied. We were so tired of being in the car & not to mention SO hungry.

I got to see the chandelier ceiling I love so much: 

...and Shannon got to bask in the glory of an entire My Little Pony dress-up station:

We ate some dinner, snapped some photos, took a ferry-ride and headed to our hotel to sleep off the long day. It was a fantastic first day of adventure. I do have to admit that I failed miserably on the playlist for the ride down. We won't talk about that though.
