Nicoletta interested in pursuing every 5 minutes repeating Safety on the flickering screen in front of us and is probably the only one who can end the film both in English and in English by heart. Finally, at 3.45 we made it-all passports are stamped. Anyway, we hurried to the car and down to Fort Lauderdale. After a long wait for the bus to the rental-car center and a ride in the pouring rain and without navigation, we reach the goal at sunrise and are finally about 6:00 clock in our beds.
Nicoletta and Alexia are no longer tenable. The castle is visible from afar, after the mandatory security checks, we throw ourselves into purely Walt Disney crowd.
for the children is overwhelming, amazing them with open eyes and can not believe it. The next 2 days we can drive us from the desires of the girls and remain only in the theme park, Magic Kingdom ". Anything else would probably be the complete flash for our blonde princesses. Surpised by the kids walking through the Mickey and Minnie houses. Alexia by Minnie's house much better, because as she says "very properly" is. Awesome Excitement reigns at the "Meet & Greet" from Mickey and Minnie.
Antonia screwed up the group photo. The various carousels are sometimes tried several times with longer waiting times. Dumbo the elephant is the big favorite for all girls. Erik remembers his first visit to Disney World with his friend John just under 25 years. But "Small World" - a journey through a miniature world provides a lot of fun. But not only the little girls Walt Disney casts a spell. Also, Erik and Ariane rejoice in the great made costumes, the perfect Celebration staged shows or the illuminated night parade. Solely with "Meet the Princess dinner" at which the girls of course participate in the matching princess costumes with Sleeping Beauty, Ariel and Snow White, we have two cheesy grin on the display.
Thanks to our campground stay, we may even stay two hours longer than the "normal people" and draw on both days until late at night around the area. To change the time, the waiting times at many of the essential attractions shorter, only "Peter Pan" is called for at night at 0.00 clock still 70 minutes waiting time. We let out. Full of impressions we leave a little overtired a perfectly organized fantasy world, not without us even delight in the colorful and spectacular fireworks with music have. And again we can hear Mickey's voice whisper in the background: "Let your dreams come true. What a cheesy, but nice conclusion of our 6-Monday: family outing, because in the end this crazy idea began so well for us with a dream.
spend the last night of our trip, we at Bogi, a cousin of Ariane's mother, Ulla, and near Fort Myers on the peninsula "Sanibel".
on Sanibel, there are no street lights so that Alexia us her small torch of "Scout" with the words "if the roads are not lit, then you can have my flashlight," offers. We must come up with our little rascals and enjoy a warm welcome in a very mixed gin / tonic. The girls briefly inhabit the pool, which was even ever occupied by Alligator "Otto", before a fence had the old men in their place. With good wine, we verklönen the evening and come to bed late. The next day, quickly grab nor the last shells on the beach of Sanibel and then we make ourselves quickly to the Miami airport.
Air Berlin we flew on 10.4.2009 into our family adventures and Air Berlin is to bring us safely back to Germany. The girls are amazed that they all speak German again. We feel at home again, because we will promptly when accompanied by a German asked soberly, that our children should their normal child-friendly volume down a bit.
Welcome home! Our impression is confirmed, in every country, people are child-friendly than in Germany. Yet we allow ourselves to not spoil the anticipation of home. As promised, we will fly directly to the grandparents. The "station" at the airport could not have been cordial. The grandparents, Tim and Betty and Henry and Julia have traveled with the kids to greet us. The sun shines, we want more.
A great time is running out. We are grateful and a bit relieved that we all have brought healthy home. We will long live on the many great experiences, certainly with some of the many nice people we got to know on our trip, keep in touch welcome and hopefully one or the other here in Bad Homburg.
Is there anything else you want to know what you? Then send us an email to ariane.massmann @ t-online.de or erik.massmann @ web.de or just come by. We look forward to.
