Florida: Day 3- Magic Kingdom

Today is Magic Kingdom day!         

                                                                                                   

It is so cool walking into the park and seeing that castle for the first time. 

We had a few rides set up with our Fast Pass so we started out heading to the Jungle Cruise.

The tour guide on the Jungle Cruise was AWESOME! 

After that we made our way to the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.

Outside of the ride there was a stage set up and we hung out there for a few minutes while people gathered around.  We figured there was going to be a show.

Soon the show started and then they asked for a few volunteers from the crowd. Hannah had her arm up and was chosen! 

 

After Hannah was done swashbucklin' we enjoyed the ride and the rode Big Thunder Mountain.

The wait times were not too long.  This was a perfect time of year to be here.  The crowds were light, the weather was perfect!  Hannah was really excited to take in her first roller coaster!

We drove the cars at the Tomorrow Land Speedway.  The cars were a little hard to drive for the girls but Hailey and I had a fun time laughing while she bounced us around the course.

The girls and grandma went on the Mad Hatter teacups.  I love that their Grandma is able to do those kind of rides with the girls.  Especially the ones that spin! 

 

The It's a Small World ride only had a 20 minute wait when we walked by so we jumped in line.  It was fun to see that the ride hasn't changed much since I was little.  The girls prefer the roller coasters and fast moving rides.  These types of rides remind me of Disneyworld the most.  Of course when we were growing up and came here there was nothing on earth like it.  We didn't know about robots and animatronics, nowadays, these are just not that exciting because these kids are growing up with holograms and hand held computers.  I am glad they could still appreciate the spectacle- maybe not blown away by the technology but definitely appreciated the costumes and decorations.

Nico and Agustin recommended the Monsters, Inc Laugh Floor.  It's a comedy show where they pull people out from the crowd.  Judy was featured in this production!  It was super funny! 

Good call boys!

We walked through Fantasyland and made our way into a souvenir shop. Inside a woman approached the girls to see if they wanted to take some pictures in the studio, it was one of the photo spots in the parks.

We ate lunch at Casey's and the girls took part in the street party/parade.

 

I looked at the app and saw that the Haunted Mansion had no current wait so we ran over there and got right in.  When we got out it was starting to get dark.  Still not very late but it is winter and therefore the sun goes down early in the evening.

The castle is so pretty at night.  All of the architecture around the park is so fun to look at.  It's almost like the movies come to life.  The Beauty and the Beast castle was one of my favorite areas.

We were able to do the Peter Pan ride, Space Mountain and the Under the Sea show with the Little Mermaid.

We watched the fireworks, which were fantastic, and then got some ice cream.

 

Another great day!

I am so happy that we were able to do this and give our kids this experience.
