On Sunday I flew to Orlando, Florida to join The African Children's Choir, tour 31. I had to idea what to expect and hadn't met, in person, anyone on the tour. Man was I in for a treat. After my first night of 5 hours of sleep, we took 26 children to Disney World on their first trip there. None of the Children had ever ridden a roller coaster or seen a Disney parade. The entire day was filled with exciting new experiences and fun rides. I just loved watching the look on each child's face as they came off of there first ride, which just happened to be Mt. Everest. Those kids were terrified. The shadow monster that was breaking the tracks would have seemed quite scary to an 8 year old. The monster ride was quickly made up by the Thunder Mountain ride, however, and the kids saw how fun roller coaster could actually be. Splash Mountain was the next favorite ride and many children came off soaking wet. The only bad thing about the day was the rain. From the time we got there in the morning to when we left at 6:30 pm it was raining and late morning it was down poring. I did feel bad about the weather but that wasn't stopping the kids, so why should it stop us. Also, about every five minutes the girls would ask me if they were going to see Cinderella and because of the rain, she never came out. All in all an eventful first for all the kids. I just love seeing the joy in the eyes, Disney is truly a magical place.
