Disney Day 3 - January 24

Today started real early for a vacation day! Kaitlyn and I got up around 7:00 and showered and got dressed and ready for a day of fun at Animal Kingdom and EPCOT. When we got to Animal Kingdom we saw a show with the characters from A Bug's Life. It was a pretty funny show and the 3D effects were really good! Then we rode the dinosaur rid and I laughed and screamed all the way through it. We rode it a couple of times and then we went to Expedition Everest. Some of us thought it was the best ride all day! We rode that ride a couple of times too and then we had lunc. Dad and I had lunch at this Oriental restaurant where they had steamed rice and vegetables. I'm doing pretty good finding stuff that is on my diet.For breakfast I usually have fruit, like grapes and a banana and for lunch I try to find something on my diet and then at dinner I usually have a salat. I have only really had one meal where I got to have a little treat by eating chicken nuggets and a couple of fries. We also brought some organic stuff from Fruitful Yield back home (like organic milk and other stuff). It wasn't as expensive as the food at Whole Foods.
After lunch Maria and Grandma Spinello took Gianna to see Nemo and Grandma Mollo and Aunt Kate took in some of the sights and me and the other kids and Dad went on Expedition Everest about 3 or 4 more times! Its always pretty funny to see the pictures when they get off the ride and after a while we started posing for those pictures. Some of them were pretty hilarious.
When we left Animal Kingdom we got on a bus and went to EPCOT center. Riding the "Soarin" ride at EPCOT was very cool. I think it was Dad's favorite and he kept watching me cause I thought it was really awesome and exciting. All of us kids got our pictures taken with Mickey, Minnie and the rest of the gang! Pluto tried to LICK me, but NO WAY!!!! Alice from Alice in Wonderland gave me a big hug and told her good luck and then we headed to the last ride of the day which was Test Track. This this ride was probably her favorite. When the ride was done we were ready to go back to the hotel.
We headed back to our room and along the way I got another salad (Dad tried some and he even though it was REALLY good). Then we just wanted to head back to the room and chill out. After two days of doing so much I was really tired. I took my chemo and other stuff and fell asleep really fast!

Love, Bree

Note from Parents:
I have been able to upload some pictures to my facebook and when we get back home I will work on getting them uploaded to the carepages site as well as the curebrianna.com site. Thanks to all that have stopped by and given Brianna words of encouragement! Its appreciated more than you will know!
On a side note, I noted today a link on my facebook an article about Senator Chuck Shumer and Senator David Vitter who are sponsoring a bill to help establish a new National Childhood Brain Tumor Network which will help shine a bright spotlight on Brianna's type of cancer among many other types of Childhood Brain Cancers! I will update everyone more on this via the curebrianna.com website as I get more information from Senator Shuman's office which should take a week or so.
Please keep Max, Kole, Skyler, and all the DIPG kids in your prayers. With your help this thing can be beaten!
Love, Brianna's family; Matt, Maria, and the rest of the clan down here in Florida !!!!
