"Please never ever make us get up this early again"
That's what Nic asked me on the bus ride to Magic Kingdom.
You see, rope drop was at 8 for EMH. That meant we needed to be on the bus by 7. So, bus stop by 6:30... An hour or so to get ready... and we arrive at 5:30 AM!
But, let me tell you, it was worth it!
The obligatory "Oh my god, it's so early" picture
Look! The sun...
It's our bus!!!!
What time was it, you ask?
YAY! MAGIC KINGDOM! OH MY GOD! WE'RE HEEEEEEEEEEERE!
We got confetti, and she told us to throw it when the park opened and make a wish:
Nic threw some at the lady who gave it to us, and they got into a confetti war. This is the damage to Nic's hair:
Back to that wish, though... Well, here's my confetti:
As soon as I saw this after walking through the gates, I made a wish and threw it. My wish came true that night! YAY!
First up, we grabbed Space Mountain fastpasses.
I'd like to take a second to, once again, point out the wonder that is RideMax. Everyone around us was RUNNING to rides. We calmly walked to Space Mountain, knowing we were going to pick up a fastpass, and head to Buzz Lightyear. We had the times for walking, and the wait times, and we were completely at ease. We ended up being done with everything we wanted to do by 2, including eating lunch, multiple rides on things, and being rained out for a while, plus a ride around the train circuit that we weren't expecting to get in. For the $15 or whatever, it was SO WELL worth it! And we didn't feel at all pressured to follow an exact schedule. We got there, and used it, but we customized it as we went to fit our needs, and it was PERFECT. We'll be getting it for our honeymoon, and even if the price jumped to $100, we would still get it. It's worth every penny.
Anyways, I digress. Onto Buzz!

Apparently, there was something Miss America going on:
The castle again!
I wanted to take a second to point out, I do have photopass pictures. We did a share, and I'll be getting them shortly. I'll add them all in a post at the end. There's some really awesome ones in there! Including an ADORABLE one of Jacques, Jacques and Stitch, and a Simba-picture-gone-wrong.
We stopped in Tink's Treasures:

The ride after us, look who got on!
I love Eeyore:
This is my favorite Eeyore line:
That was all for the EMH, for us. We took a break to sit down for about 15-20 minutes, because we'd be riding the rest of these rides with Jacques.
Next up, Jungle Cruise!
