Vacation Day 3 - Magic Kingdom

Day 3 -
We had reservations for breakfast at the crystal palace in the Magic Kingdom. I scheduled it before the park actually opened, so we got to enter the park at 8am instead of 9am.

Iz was super excited to see the castle

We stopped on our way up the street to get a photo of us with the castle...I have some with me in it, but I haven't got the photopass cd in yet :)

We then headed to our breakfast. For those who have not been, the crystal palace does character dining. We were supposed to see Pooh, Eeyore, Tigger, & Pigglet. We however did not get to see Piglet. He was about to come to our table when they started a dance around the room followed by a character break, the kids were ready to go, so we'll just have to meet him next time.

After having breakfast we headed over to the rope drop at Fantasyland. The first ride we hit was Dumbo. Both of the kids loved it! Neither was scared about going all the way to the top.

We left Dumbo and hit Pooh, then Snow White (which in my tips book said scared young children, but my kids didn't bat an eye), then over to peter pan. Iz insisted we needed to ride the ponies...

After riding the ponies we went and rode It's a Small World...

After that we headed over to Tomorrowland to check out the Buzz ride. The line wasn't very long, but since Andrew is a huge Buzz fan we grabbed a fast pass to use later and jumped in line. Both of the kids loved this ride!

We then went to check out astro orbitor, but the wait was 45 minutes....too long for me. So we headed over to Stitch's Great escape. Andrew and Mike rode it while Iz and I rode Monster's Inc Laugh Floor. It was really cute, and the joke of the day: How do you make a tissue dance??? - Put a little boogie in it :)

By this time we were able to use our fast passes, so we hit Buzz again and then decided to head over to Toontown.

The only ride we did in toontown was the barnstormer (mini roller coaster) Iz was able to ride, which proved to be a problem....which I'll explain later.

We then jumped on the Train and rode around to Frontierland. It was getting hot by this time, and it was crowded (which it was Saturday so that's to be expected) so we hit Pirates of the Caribbean and then headed to Casey's for hot dogs.

After lunch we decided to head back to the hotel for a break. On the way out we saw Chip and Dale

The kids were so worn out...they fell asleep in the stroller at the bus stop

After a break in the room (and in the pool) we headed to the poly for dinner at 'Ohana. They served us way too much food, but we had fun trying to eat it all.

Upon returning to the hotel We decided to dig into our pretzel rods from the previous day. They were awesome. I am going to try and make some here this winter....mmmm I can't wait!

Lastly...this is how the kids fell asleep....it was a long hot day...normally its in the 70-80's during this time of year, but lucky (or unlucky) us it was in the 90's all week...no rain, but really hot and humid :(

Tomorrow - off to Sea World :)
