Starting Off Like a Turdy Two-Year-Old

So, we took the kids to Disney World today, and it was FANTASTIC!!!  The morning, however, just did NOT start out that way.  I think I'd hyped it up for Ellie way too much the night before and that morning at home, so that she was just overly charged up for the day.  She absolutely could not handle the excitement and behaved like spoiled brat until we got through the turnstiles at the entrance (mind you, it's about a 40 minute process to get from car to turnstile at Disney World!).  I wanted to turn around and take her home so badly.  As soon as we turned the corner onto Main Street, though, she heard that music, saw all of the kids, and then spotted that giant castle of Cinderella's down at the end, she was a new girl.  

Funniest thing of all, though, was her fit right at the entrance to the parking lot where you pay to park.  I'd hyped up Cinderella's Castle for her so much so that it was all she could focus on.  The sign at the entrance to the lot had a picture of the castle on it; we, of course, pointed it out to her.  When we drove through and past it, though, she had an absolute tantrum.  Turns out that she thought that dumb sign was what all of the hubbub was about.  She thought that that simple sign was what we were going to see today.  Too cute!  Little did she know, she had a heck of a lot more in store for her!
