A Magical Kingdom

We were ready for Day 2 at the parks. We ended up spending 3 of our 5 Disney park days at Magic Kingdom. It was, of course, our favorite so we ended up changing our Animal Kingdom day to an extra MK. Sissy is so well-versed in Magic Kingdom she could be a tour guide there. She memorized the map!

This first day at Magic Kingdom was our "go early day/parade day". We arrived early at the park, went on rides all morning, ate a late lunch, and got great spots to watch the Main St Parade, and left when it got dark to go eat a good dinner and swim.

Here are the kids at the condo ready to go!

There is nothing like the anticipation of arriving at a Disney Park!!

It was a beautiful morning and it was, surprisingly, not crowded at all!

Here are the 4 cousins, wearing fashions designed and handmade by DULU DESIGNS. The kids looked adorable in them! (and the yellow made it easy to spot them)

After taking our pictures in front of the castle, we went to the building that housed the princesses for Sissy. She was over the moon excited. Her brother, not so much. He did not care to look at or go near a princess. It was too "girly". Sissy, on the other hand, could barely walk she was so in awe.

It was difficult for everyone to pick a favorite ride at MK, except for me. I love It's A Small World. Adore it. Rode it 4 times.

The kids had a blast on everything. We looooved Pirates, Peter Pan, and the teacups. Fantasyland is getting a new makeover set to open in 2012 and we could see the construction taking place and it looked AMAZING!!

It was then time for the parade. We had a nice bench for the adults to sit on w/the kids right in front of us so it was perfect. I videotaped the entire parade and the kids love watching it. And it was pretty fun, we saw a ton of characters.

The kids loved The Jungle Cruise, which consists of riding on a boat w/an incredibly cheesy tour guide looking at fake animals. They thought it was awesome.

It was starting to get dark and we were ready to leave and eat. It was hard to go with the castle lights starting to shine, but we knew we had another day set aside for coming back and watching the fireworks. We said goodbye and headed back to the condo- next day was COCOA BEACH!
