Today provides early hours in the Magic Kingdom. For those staying at Disney resorts and hotels, early admission means you get to enter the park 1 hour before anyone else. Not a bad deal till you see how many people actually qualify for early admission.
OK. So were not there when the park opens. Be we're there early and we are off!
Today the front section of the Magic Kingdom is filled with characters. We've not seen many characters yet, but today they are out with abundance.
Chip and Dale meet us at the front gate. Inside we find Daisy Duck and Pluto. Since we already have Pluto's autograph, we hit the line for Daisy. Autographs and pictures secure we head just around the corner to Pinocchio. Further in to the park we run across Tigger and Pooh. That's just to mention a few of the ones we see today.
There is an aggressive plan laid out for the day and it begins with a run thru It's a Small World. Small World is supposed to be boring and flat as an exhibit goes. Kyle thinks it's so boring he wants to do it twice. We do. The line is short.
And we hit a few other rides and look for more characters to harvest for autographs. The Dumbo ride is a hit. We also do Mickey's PhilharMagic, a 3D presentation. I love these things. Kyle is not so crazy about them. Soon it's time for lunch and given that it is hot and we've been at it for 3 to 4 hours, we decide to head back to the hotel for some rest.
But we will not rest long. Tonight we are guests of Cinderella in the ball room at her castle. Rumor has it that the castle was built to be the home of Walt Disney and his family, but was never used for that purpose.
We meet Cinderella and have our picture taken with her before heading off to dinner. At dinner we party with the Fairy Godmother and a few of her mice. Then it's off to do the park and rides. Don is off to do Thunder Mountain. Kyle, Stacie, and Janie hit the Jungle Cruise. I wander around looking for some photo ops for me and my camera. The final ride of the evening for Don, Janie, and Kyle is Splash Mountain. Not sure Kyle wants to try that one again anytime soon. We beat a hasty retreat after that one heading back to the hotel where we catch the fireworks at Cindy's place from the beach at our hotel.
It's late and it's been a long day. We'll sleep tonight I bet.
