The first day was spent acquainting ourself with our cabins (we had two, since we have such a large family!) and our new surroundings. Dinner was at five, so we all dressed up and headed to the California Grill, located atop of the Contemporary Resort. The location of the restaurant makes it the perfect spot to watch the sun set over Disney. And, if your dinner is late enough you can even catch a spectacular view of the fireworks at night!!
Dinner was wonderful, and fortunately the kids did really well in a very-upscale restaurant! We celebrated Mom's birthday that night too. After dinner, Dad and Elena took the little ones to ride the mono-rail, and Mom and I headed back to the house to pick up a few items we had forgotten. However, that would be the first of many trips back home over the course of our week at Disney......
The younger four, dressed mighty cute..and ready for dinner
Overlooking Magic Kingdom
The younger five kiddo's
Hmm..they must have been getting tired by the looks of this picture!
Magic Kingdom.. it was great to harass the younger kids since Magic Kingdom was SO close, yet SO far away from them!
Waiting for our table(Can I just go ahead and apologize now for the horrible blurry pictures this horrid camera takes??)

And you thought your dinner table was chaotic...

What a beautiful place to celebrate your Mom's birthday!
Snickered when I read that you were able to run home to pick up what you'd forgotten. My niece and her little friend were dreaming this weekend about when they work at Disney.
Glad you're able to go and have such a great week together as a family. Looking forward to your other Disney posts.
