Disney Day

I’d have to say my favorite day of our vacation was the day we spent at Magic Kingdom.  It was just perfect – the weather wasn’t too hot or cold, the crowds were manageable (for the most part – I wasn’t about to wait in line for 90 minutes to meet Elsa and Anna, no matter how happy it would have made the girls!), the kids were well-behaved (especially after my wonderful husband and father-in-law took the tuckered-out little boys home mid-day!), and we got to do a great mix of rides and character greetings. 

Here we are entering the Magic Kingdom.  I was definitely as excited as the kids, if not more! 

The tram ride from the parking lot to the ferry:

We started off by meeting Tinkerbell:

Alli was an amazing help all day! 

Jim took Jimmy and Becky on the Thunder Mountain Railroad roller coaster.  I wasn’t sure how Jimmy would do, since he’s only ever done pretty dinky rides, but he had a lot of fun (Becky loved it, too, although the fast-paced Space Mountain later on was more her speed!):

Meanwhile, I took the non-roller-coaster kids to the Swiss Family tree house and a gift shop for some sword play:

We loved the new interactive Enchanted Tales with Belle, where the kids recreate scenes with princess Belle.  Becky was Papa Maurice, Susie was a horse, and the boys were dinner plates (oh – and my husband was chosen to be a knight in shining armor – very fitting!):

Here’s my “knight” taking Danny on the Buzz Lightyear ride:

More Disney to come!
