Magic Kingdom

Even though we had another late night at Epcot, we still managed to get to the Magic Kingdom before opening. I know the kids were excited they were just too tired to show it :) As the race began we headed straight for Dumbo dragging the kids behind us and reminding them of how much fun this is. There was already a line at Dumbo but we didn't have to wait too long. I stood in line with Blake and Allie while Justin went to get fastpasses for Peter Pan. I didn't realize that we had to ride with them until we got to the front and Blake wasn't tall enough to ride with Allie. Nothing like starting your day on a ride that goes round and round in circles. We headed over to Peter Pan which became Allie's favorite ride. We also rode the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Mad Tea Party, Snow White's Scary Adventure, Peter Pan again, Splash Mountain, and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad all before lunch. After lunch at the Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Cafe we ran into the Jantzes and checked to see how their girls were feeling (caught the flu on the way to Disney World). We also rode It's a Small World, watched Mickey's Philharmagic, listened to Storytime with Belle, shopped in the stores then headed to watch the parade. It was hot and we were beginning to fade so we decided to head back to the hotel even though we had dinner reservations at the Crystal Palace at 6:15 pm. I forgot my camera when we came back so I have no pictures of Winnie the Pooh, Eeorye, Tigger, or Piglet (Allie's new favorite character). Justin took some with his phone so maybe I can figure out how to post those. The castle looked pretty cool with the lights changing as it got darker. We did some more shopping before we got the news that Grammie had arrived at the hotel so we headed back to meet up with her. We definitely rode the most rides on this day (so far)!

none other than Dumbo

dumbo was our first ride in the magic kingdom

winnie the pooh and it's a small world

Allie did not like the small world ride but it was ac and a smooth boat ride. that makes it one of my favorites!

ready to ride winnie the pooh

alice and white rabbit

we didn't realize that blake and allie had to have an adult ride with them on the tea cups. as soon as the worker told us that i quickly ran away. i'm sure justin had a great time!

belle's storytime: blake was picked to play gaston! not a role that he was happy to play though. poor allie would have given anything to be a part of belle's story.

the kids got a kick out of this back at the hotel room
