Day 2 Magic Kingdom!

Magic Kingdom.

Its just a great wonderful place that makes life feel like nothing bad can ever happen to you.

On day 2 we woke up VERY early make our breakfast reservations at Chef Mickey.

Like our previous experiences it was a delight but it is no longer my favorite (more on that later)

After breakfast we monorailed over to the Magic Kingdom where we got to watch the Opening Ceremonies. (Personal Goal: To be the family of the day next trip)

We started in Fantasyland. First ride. Peter Pan. We walked on! No Wait!

Then we trucked over to Small World, Haunted Mansion, Winnie the Pooh, Teacups, Tomorrow Land Speedway, Dumbo, and played in the new Casey Splash Park.

WHEW! After all that (around 11) we headed to the hotel for 1)Lunch 2)A swim 3) a nap!

I can not stress how much you need naps in Disney!

One of my favorite things about the All-Star Resorts is the Quesadillas they have for lunch. Quick Service meal and AWESOME!

We headed back to the park around 5pm. We had dinner at the Crystal Palace! The food was my least favorite meal of the entire trip. It just left a lot to be desired.

After Dinner we rode Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Aladdin's magic carpets, all the fanstyland rides (again) then watched the Electrical Parade & Fireworks!

It was EMH at Magic Kingdom so we were there until 2am! We enjoyed tomorrowland during the early morning!

Day 3 We went to Hollywood Studios....stay tuned!



Disney Day 1: Epcot

Our first day at Disney we visited Epcot! This year the girls were really into Epcot and all it had to offer. A lot of adults think Epcot is geared more towards adults and not so much kids! I disagree!
and here is why!

When we arrived we rode Finding Nemo first, then we did Turtle talk with crush and explored the aquarium!

After we left the "seas" we went to the "land". Here we rode Soarin (awesome ride!) and Living with the Land, this was a really cool ride because we got to see how Disney grows the vegetables, fish, etc. that we would be eating while in Disney!

When we left the Land headed back to ride spaceship earth. I must be honest. This was my first time EVER on this ride it was neat to go up...then come down. The kids enjoyed "creating their future" on the screen in the ride cart!

I love Epcot because you can knock out majority of the princesses and the fab 5 without a lot of wait!

The fab 5 (Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, Pluto) can be found at the Epcot Character Spot!

The princesses can be found in Norway at Akershus (we saw belle in gold dress, cinderella, sleeping beauty, ariel, and snow white) and throughout the countries (we saw Jasmine, Mulan and Belle in blue dress with the beast!) the longest we waited was 15 minutes and that was for the beast :)

We had Lunch at La Cantina in Mexico (really good Pollo Tacos!)

and then we rode the Gran Fiesta Tour in the Mexico Pavilion!

We went back and rode soarin again before dinner (hello Fastpasses!)

then headed to Norway for dinner at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall!

After dinner we rode Maelstroms (in Norway) and got our snacks for the firework show! The girls went with Mickey Ice Cream Bars!

We enjoyed the fireworks then headed back to the hotel! We originally were planning on staying at the All-Star Music Resort but once we got into our rooms that evening we had distinct mold smell. So we called the front desk and they had us moved to the All-Star Movies! (more on that later!)

Our first day at Epcot was a good one! We knew we had another day to tour the countries so we were relaxed and enjoyed Future World! Stay tuned! Tomorrow we head to Magic Kingdom!
