It sounds like a great first day!!! I love it when we worry for nothing & the kids end up dealing with things better than we expected!
Even after many trips, I'll admit the airport still makes me nervous! You never really know what is going to freak out a child....one minute everything can be fine and the next it's the end of the world! I am so glad you had a good experience with Penny on the plane!!!! I love when they nap for a good portion of the flight!!!
(side note: even after 4 trips, Luke decided this trip he is going to REFUSE to ride the airplane...he threw an unexpected problem into my plans for sure!!! Too bad it's already booked lol)
Penny's reaction to the characters didn't surprise me because that's exactly what my kids both did the first trip they were aware of what was going on. Tyler's first trip -- I just put him in the stroller at some character greetings...that way he didn't even see them and couldn't be scared! His next trip will be interesting...I'm guessing I'll only get character pics at character meals (since he won't be able to run away from them! Lol)
Wow!!! AK has changed so much since 2012 when I last saw it!!!
I'm glad to hear you liked the ribs because that's usually what I get! I'll have to remember to order the kids portion. Sorry Tom didn't like his -- I'll make a note of it because it sounds like something my husband or even Luke might want to order.
I am loving all of your pictures so far!!!!!!
That's so funny about the hair ties on EE! I've been reading so many reports about people getting stuck recently. My kids would freak lol!
Steph -- Can't wait to hear about your arrival!!!!!
