5k race day!

GlWFebruary 21st!
Today Max , my mom and I woke up at 5am (4am MN time) threw on some clothes and jumped in the car heading to Epcot! Robb and the girls tagged along so they could be there! They dropped is off in the dark! We followed our ear to the start corrals and got our minds right for the race!
I wore my Belle costume and Max wore his Prince Charming shirt!  I made them both! I bought Robb's Prince Charming shirt off Etsy; when it arrived I knew I could make a shirt for Max without problem! Max got lots of compliments which he was embarrassed about and would do his teenager eye roll ( it's a new trick for him this school year) and got mad! We mostly walked the race. There was way too much to see! That, and the early race time and no food before did Max in! 
Max was energized by having the finish line come into view and the promise of a treat basket!
We were so lucky to have cheerleaders at the finish line!! We headed home to regroup and clean up! Robb took the kids to the pool so they could show him around and what good swimmers they are! Then we headed for Magic Kingdom for our first day of actual Disney World!
We had an overcast day but perfect by our standards! We got there right as a show at the castle was starting! Gracie was mesmerized! Seeing Cinderellas castle, Minnie and Mickey was amazing!
From there we set out for new fantasyland to check out was Disney has been up to since our last visit! We loved the new space and all the princesses! We rode the Dumbo ride and loved the new wait line! We saw Ariel's grotto and the new Ariel ride. We saw the Belle and Beast area and found Max a Gaston Quicer with bow and arrows (with suction cup ends). 
We had a great first day! We finished the day with some fireworks, dole whip ( my favorite and where we reunited after I got separated from looking at a shopper-tunity) and balloons! 
After the early morning we were all ready for bed! And Gracie's race is tomorrow!
