Wow, we are SO BEHIND with the blog! Here is the second day that we spent at Walt Disney World Florida. We spent the day at the Magic Kingdom. We had been noticing that some families were getting to ride in the front cabin of the mono rails. We asked and were escorted to the front. The boys were even given "co pilot" cards. 
One must understand that Walt Disney loved trains. Well my friends, he has some good company in that. There is a steam train that goes all the way around Magic Kingdom. Big C was on that like me on warm cookies! 
While Monkey and I waited in line to go and see Mickey Mouse, Big C and daddy found a play park that he could explore. I would like to take a minute to let you know that Mr Mouse is NOT as I would have thought, wandering around the park. Oh no. They keep him inside behind velvet ropes and at the end of line ups. If you want to see him, you have to know where to find him then you have to wait in line.
This was our evening for our "character dinner". Everyone was there (except Mickey) and the boys loved it. I got told off by Chip (or Dale) for a-not knowing which one was which and b-calling Chip (or Dale) a female and c-calling him (her?) a bear. Luckily for me, they are not allowed to talk, just make gestures, family friendly ones at that!!!

Big C shows Goofy his Mater...
We took a ride on the Aladdin ride. This is actually the exact same ride as Dumbo and the Dinosaurs in Animal Kingdom. They must have gotten a bulk discount or something-lol! A familiar, yet very fun ride. The boys loved it.
We figured out today that Mickey is not just wandering around, but rather very strategically placed. We watched the Mickey show several times and Monkey was absolutely enthralled.
Totally pooped
In my defence on the whole Chip/Dale thing. This was my first trip to Disney World (i.e. my parents never took me) and I was only allowed to watch 60 minutes of TV on a daily basis. Overall that turned out okay for me on most other topics, but apparently did throw me under the bus when it came to getting told off by a rather annoyed asexual rodent whose identity is still not clear to me.
In Tomorrowland there is a ride where you can drive race cars. Outside of that ride is this car for the kids to play on Bag C got right in...
Then we went on the Buzz Lightyear ride. Ther first day we were there in the morning and there were no lines. Later in the week there were lines and we used fast pass to go right to the front.
After the ride, look who we found!!
Riding Dumbo
We went on a really cool safari ride where we saw animals that we've never EVER seen before. We saw giraffes, rhinos, monkeys, ostrich eggs, crocodiles, and many, many more. Dave took an endless amount of pictures as you can see.
Big C passed out mid day in his stroller and we carted him around.
We noticed that people were starting to gather at the sides of the main walkway/road. It turns out there was a parade coming in 15 minutes. The parade featured all of the chracters that he recognized including Mickey, Goofy, Minnie, Pluto et al. Monkey was blown away, and big C slept right through, the Mickey's Jammin' Jungle Parade. I got a great video of the noise and commotion that big C slept right through.
When presented with a child friendly map with lots of pictures on it, the boys each got to pick where they wanted to go for the day. Big C picked out the train and the dinisaurs. When the parade was finished we made our way towards dino land. Big C woke up about half way there and was very pleased that his request for dinosaurs was being answered. We hit the Triceratops Spin ride. This is the exact same ride as Dumbo and Alladin's flying carpet, but this time it has dinosaurs on it. Much fun. The line was non-existant so Daddy and Monkey went 6 or 7 times in a row. Big C went once and then wanted to stand and watch the Primeval Whirl ride which he called a train. Monkey isn't tall enough to ride it, but he was fine with that. Big C and I sat on the pavement and watched the "trains" while Monkey and Daddy rode the dinosaur.
We wrapped up the day with supper at the Rainforest Cafe (oh my goodness, so yummy!!) and went back to the hotel and put two sleepy little guys to bed.
