Vacation Day 2 - Magic Kingdom

Well I'm finally getting around to my second vacation post.

I do consider our Alligator Farm day as Day 1 of our Disney vacation. I also consider it one of our best days of the whole vacation. My mom was scooterless and everyone wasn't tired yet lol.

We started day 2 off early, 6:15am. I wanted to get to the park early before it opened so we could hit the rides first thing. I need to give some credit to tourguideMike I found his website online while searching for some help with planning out my Disney trip. I used his advice and it really helped us have a good time at Disney.

We took the ferry over to the park from the parking lot and I must admit it was nice seeing the castle from the water. The girl was so excited about Magic Kingdom she just smiled and smiled on the ferry.



Everyone else was excited too. We spent most of the day riding rides. I think the family favorites were the Buzz lightyear ride, Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain. We saw the Mickey 3D movie too, it was super cool.

Here's the girl and I on the Aladdin ride.



My mom and the scooter, boy that's a story all it's own. I'm trying to have some humor about it now but at the time I kept thinking, man I should have put her in a wheelchair so I would know where I parked her lol. She got lost twice at Magic Kingdom. Her and shopping just couldn't be parted and she would whizz off into stores without telling any of us. Some how I managed to find her both times within a hour (at Seaworld was another story). Here's mom on her red scooter from hell. She of course thought it was her cadillac lol.



I don't have any good pictures of the family and the castle since we all look like ants in front of it so I've just included one with us in front of the castle (you'll have to pretend you see it lol).



I regret that we never got any professional pictures taken of us. I'm glad we at least got the family pics at the alligator farm the day before.

Here's the only pic of hubby and I.



We seemed to miss most of the characters at Magic Kingdom. Finally we found Pooh and Tigger though we had to wait over an hour for this picture with the girl.



After this we were pretty much finished for the day. We found out that about 4pm was a good cut off time for the kids. By 6pm they were all in meltdown mode it seemed lol. So we headed on back to the house and everyone took a dip in the pool before baths and bedtime.

Some people asked about the house, here's a link to the house we stayed at Aviana's Best . It was really a beautiful house. I can't say the development was the best but thankfully the noisy neighbors left after the first 3 days.

Well that covers day 2.

Till day 3...
