What if I told you a trip to Disney World with a 4 year old could be stress free? Would you believe me? Would you think I’m out of my mind?
Today started at 4am. With our bags packed, our Magic Bands in hand and possibly the most excited 4 year old I’ve ever seen, we were off to the airport. Before today even came, I had skepticism written all over my face. I mean will Disney really pick up our luggage for us and deliver it to our room? Will these Magic Bands that hold your room key, dinner reservations, FastPasses, park tickets and meal plan actually work? As we boarded the plane I immediately had thoughts running through my head like “What if our luggage didn’t make it? Since Disney was getting our luggage will they even tell us?”
Once we landed, all my fears and worries disappeared. We walked straight off the plane, straight onto Disney’s Magical Express where we were shuttled to our resort. When we got there, it was time to put these Magic Bands to the test. We walked over to the closest restaurant ordered some food and just placed our bands up to a sensor where everything worked perfectly. After eating, I got a text that our room was ready. This was test number two! We walked to our Little Mermaid room and once again the Magic Bands didn’t fail us. Got straight into the room and about an hour later our luggage showed up. Just looked clockwork!
After a short nap (to keep Kynlee happy and of course Sabbatical rules), we attempted to head down to the pool. Unfortunately, God decided we needed some rain so we scratched those plans and decided to head to Disney Springs to shop around before dinner.
Once we got to Disney Springs, we quickly realized that the best purchase we had made on this entire trip was the stroller rental for the week (also delivered to the room). We walked around for a couple hours before heading to dinner where we finished the night having some fantastic Cuban food. Again, only waving those magical bands that has our dining plan on it.
Disney has simplified this experience so much that the only thing you have to worry about is having fun. Tomorrow we adventure off to Magic Kingdom.
As you may have noticed there is nothing on my desk. I have hidden a key somewhere in there office. Let’s see who can find it first!
