When still in school, I always thought it incredibly convienent that my Fall Break always fell around the third Monday and Tuesday of October; Claire's birthday is October 18th so I never had to miss celebrating her birthday with her. Very conveniently indeed, the University of Nebraska has not seen it fit to change the schedule of Fall Break. This worked out perfectly for me as I was able to surprise Claire with a trip to Walt Disney World for her birthday.
Though my mother and I planned the trip back in April, I only surprised Claire with it late last month. She'd been having a challenging week at school so it was just what she needed. Needless to say, she was more than a little excited.
We were in Florida for four days and went to four different parks. There will be more to follow but for now, here are some pictures of our first day, Claire's actual birthday, at Disney's Hollywood Studios park.

| Mom is a Disney travel agent, and was very excited to share tips about the resort! |
 |
| We stayed on property at Disney's Yacht Club Resort and were able to take a short boat ride to Hollywood Studios. |
 |
| Bless her, it was only 10am and she was getting tired of all the photos I was taking |
 |
| One of my favorite rides! |
 |
| I had asked her if she was excited to meet Mickey, this was her response. Of course I took a picture ... |
 |
| And of course she needed a selfie with Mickey! |
 |
| Our waiter at lunch wasted no time in helping us celebrate! |
 |
| After spending the day on rides and in shows, we went to Fantasmic! |
After Fantasmic, we headed to the Grand Floridian (another Disney resort that is on property) and watched the firework show from Magic Kingdom

All in all, it was a truly magical day. Can't wait to share with you all the rest of our trip!
