We arrived at the Magic Kingdom just after 8am and it was already getting pretty HOT! The kids wanted to stop and watch the show at the caslte Forecourt Stage, so we did that. After that it was RIGHT to Fantasyland and the Teacups first, followed by the Tomorrowland Speedway...did I mention DS4 Noah LOVES cars!

From there we hit Haunted Mansion, since lines for the rides in Fantasyland were already getting long. Then it was BTMRR followed by Splash Mountain, both first time rides for DS4 again. He seemed to enjoy both.


Next we made our way around to POTC, as the ninety degree heat was getting rough and we had decided to call it a day.

Three kids waiting in line:


It's now noon, but after our big Chef Mickey's breakfast and with our upcoming dinner at California Grill, there's no need for a big lunch...so we introduced the family to Dole Whips! My in-laws were hooked, the kids were thrilled with ice cream for lunch. Hey it's vacation!



Well actually DS4 decided that ice cream was NOT lunch (who IS this child?) and wants HOT food, so on the way out of the park after our ice cream break, I grab a hotdog from Casey's for him, and he eats it on the way back to our room. Oh yeah, before leaving the park DS4 Noah spots Chip and Dale and since they were absent from Chef Mickey's (sad!) he wants a photo with him. Did I mention that the only character he really warmed up to at Chef's was Pluto? All the others he really wasn't too happy to meet.

So here is his Chip and Dale photo:


We drive back to our hotel and immediately get on the bathing suits to hit the pool...finally! The kids are ready to try out our pool and it does not disappoint! The slide is just a blast for all ages. We spent many afternoons at the pool during our week and always saw adults as well as kids enjoying the slide! Here are some pool shots as well as some more water play area ones:







Oh and they had all kinds of games at the pool. BINGO was $1 a card, so DD6 Noelle and I got a few cards to play. It was blackout and we were both one or 2 numbers away from winning of course!
