Day 2, Part 1: Shakin' it with Blue, a Carousel Ride, and Lots of Photo Ops

Whew. Lots of catching up to do.
First, I should explain that instead of staying on the Disney hotels, Most of the Make A Wish kids and their families stay in a village called Give Kids The World in Kissimmee. This village contains villas and is set up like a little town. A little town that just happens to have a putt putt course, a carousel, an ice cream shop, and a bunny for a mayor.
Anyway, there's lots of fun to be had right here in the village. Last night, Blue from Blue's Clues stopped by to put on a show. And don't you know who ended up on stage?


This morning, after breakfast, we took a quick ride on the carousel before taking off for the parks...



Then, it was off to Epcot Center. We had been told that Aria wouldn't be all that into it, but we had something special scheduled there early afternoon, so we thought we'd give it a try.


We went through this Nemo thing that Aria loved, but it was rather dark inside the ride, so my pics for that were pants. Sorry.
From there, Aria got to meet some of her favorite Disney characters. The Make A Wish badges were fantastic, because Aria got to go straight to the front of the lines to get pics and autographs.










I'm still sorting through pics, so hopefully I'll get the rest of today's pics posted tomorrow. But I'll give you a hint - there was a reason Aria was wearing the Snow White costume...
Right now, I'm about to run out of battery power on the laptop (not to mention I'm about to run out of steam in general), so thus ends this post. Let it suffice to say that everyone had a blast today, and we're ready to get some rest so we can do this all again tomorrow!
