Day 4~Magic Kingdom

The time shift is setting in! The boys woke up at 7:40 this morning. By the end of the week we might just be able to stay for the fireworks at 9.

We got to the park and went right to adventureland. Bam, bam, bam we got on three rides back to back. We got on the Pirates of the Caribbean (twice),Aladdin's Magic Carpet and the Jungle Boat tour (stupid!) In the middle we zipped off and got fastpasses for Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain. The boys loved it all. Daddy and Big C were even able to sneak in a ride on the carousel while mommy n Monkey were taking in the big boy rides.

We zipped over to see if Big C is tall enough to go on Splash Mountain (not quite) and then Monkey and daddy went on Splash Mountain while big c and I took a tour on the steam train. We met back up for lunch at Pecos Bill (yummy) and then split up so big c could nap (we hoped)

Monkey and I did Splash Mountain (twice) and big Thunder Mountain. Then we caught the show at Cinderella's Castle. Monkey loved the show but not the princesses. Sorry Grandma, Snow White got no love from this kid-I even tried pumping her up and everything. We waited around Mickey's Toon Town for a while looking for daddy but he was waiting for us somewhere else, oops! Meanwhile...Daddy and Big C were exploring Goofys Barnstormer and Mickey's PhilharMagic. We eventually met up and headed for the race cars where daddy n Monkey toured together in front of Mommy n Big C. Both children were adamant that their job was to be the driver while the rown-ups were in charge of the 'gas man'. I can see their point as they could easily reach the wheel, but not the pedals. and then a much needed (finally) nap.

We next went to our Character dinner at the Crystal palace with Tigger, Eyore, Pooh and Piglet It was a buffet and was much much better than last nights dinner in Animal Kingdom. The boys liked that the caracters were around and Monkey was equally pleased with the soft serve dispenser : )

We came out and the crowd had largely cleared. We zipped right on to the tea cups (a classic) where mommy and Big C took things slow, but Monkey n daddy went as fast as we possibly could. We finished off the day with The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and we did a tour as a family through Mickey's PhilharMagic in 3-D with no line and then we split up. Daddy and Big C lured by the promise of fireworks while Mommy and Monkey lured by the call of their beds. We headed for the bus but stopped on the way to catch the awesome Spectro Magic parade (very cool). Daddy and Big C are still not home yet. I hope they are out having an absolute blast!all Big C could say was 'oooooooh' (I think that he picked that up from the crowds, and it was oh so cute!)
