a magical week- day 5

Thursday morning we were up bright and early, in line again at the Magic Kingdom before they opened.   The night before, Tim and I made a plan of everything we had yet to see, and what we definately wanted to do again.  He also made inserts for Stella's shoes out of pieces of rolled up socks, to ensure we could all ride Splash Mountain together.  Worked like a charm :)

The park was definately busier on Thursday, and by 10:30am there were lines for most rides. We made sure to grab fastpasses to all our favorites as the times came available.  By afternoon it was so busy that we took time to get ice cream and sit down, in an effort to get away from tripping over people for a bit.  At one point we were waiting in line to meet Rapunzel, and get her signature.  After about 15 minutes, the attendant happened to be walking by, so I asked him how long the wait was. He informed me she wouldn't even be out for another hour, and based on where we were in line it would take another hour to get up to her.  Needless to say, our kids never met Rapunzel :) 

By the time the fireworks show ended in the evening, our fun meters had been filled to the brim, and we left satisfied customers of all things Magic Kingdom.  Another fantastical day of memories.

Dylan LOVED the inter-galactic Buzz Lightyear ride.  We rode it no less than 8 times.  The kids were also quite impressed that instead of signing their autograph books, Buzz had a name stamp.



We watched a pretty entertaining interactive pirate show.  The kids were called up on stage and became honorary pirates.  A few certain mates could not stop drooling :)









Waiting in line for Splash Mountain. 

Do you see the half smile on the little gals face? From a distance she tolerated the loveable bear, and even gave him a high five.
