Magic Kingdom – Day 1 – Part 1 
Just an added note to our travel/arrival day: we walked 10,000+ steps (not quite 11,000 though). This probably has to do that we were at the end of the C terminal at BWI, and decided we wanted Dunkin Donuts iced coffee, and walked the whole way over to the mid-section of the B-terminal and back.
But onto our Magic Kingdom day! I woke up around 6:30am, and Kenny woke up around 6am so he could shower. I’m pretty sure I woke up earlier than 6:30 though. Our plan was to be at the bus stop by 7:20am to make it to the opening show. After we both got ready, we headed up to club level for breakfast.
Here is my first bow! It’s my Ariel one:
I ended up only getting fruit and a croissant, which I definitely should have ate more because I was hungry by 11am. Kenny got a cinnamon roll and fruit, and then refilled our filtered water bottle with the water from club level. We weren’t 100% sure if you could do this, but no one stopped us on the multiple days we did it. So, I guess you can!
We then headed down to the bus stop. We probably did actually wait 20 minutes for a MK bus. However, when the bus stopped at Jambo, you could tell it hadn’t been to Kidani. Off the MK we went! We arrived around 8:00am, which was earlier than originally planned. I didn’t really care if we got to see the show from the front; I was hoping to be sort of towards the back. I think this opening show is a really great way to start off any Disney trip; and one of the characters on the train was Lady Tremaine, and her reactions/actions were hilarious!
After being let inside MK, we did get pictures infront of the castle, however, they are doing work in the hub, and a big green box is RIGHT behind us, so not the nicest picture. We then made our way over to Merida! We were about third in line. When we met her we talked about her brothers as bears, and how they play good practical jokes on her dad:
After Merida, our 9:20am FP to meet Cinderella and Rapunzel was ready to go! We headed over that way. Cinderella was so-so, but Rapunzel talked about my birthday, and if she celebrated her birthday more than once a year that they would have to make a lot of lanterns.
We then headed over to Gaston’s tavern for LeFrou’s Brews. It was about 9:30am at this point. We ended up both getting one, and I think if we get them again I could definitely share. They were a little too sweet for my taste. But I was already getting kind of hungry by then, so I drank it pretty fast. And with only one brain freeze!
We took our drinks to the line to meet Gaston, and we were about 4th in line already at 9:40am! However, Gaston this year interacted much more with Kenny than he did last year. It was another good meet and great! By 10:10am we had finished with Gaston and moved down towards the teacups.
We rode the teacups, which were a walk on when we got to them. My mom says when they took me when I was little I made her ride the teacups with me about 20 times. She was not happy.
Then we stood in line to meet Alice and the White Rabbit! Alice got very confused about how it was my Unbirthday and my birthday, and why we weren’t visiting for Kenny’s Unbirthday.
After Alice, it was only 10:40am. We were kind of REALLY early in my planning. We weren’t supposed to be done with all this until about 11am! We decided to use our 7DMT FP which started at 10:20am. I have to say, after riding this it may be my new favorite ride!
Now being way ahead of schedule, we decided to do whatever we felt like. We saw Mickey’s Philharmagic, which was in the schedule for a little bit later. Love this show. And then by 11am, we didn’t really know what do with ourselves. Our BOG lunch reservation wasn’t until 12:15pm. We checked wait times on my phone, and saw that Journey of the Little Mermaid only had a 20 minute wait, so we decided to go do this. It did not have a 20 minute wait. The 20 minute wait was winding through the queue and then walking straight onto the clam shell. (laughing face). So much for trying to burn time! After getting off the ride, we decided to walk around Big Top Gifts (or whatever it’s called) and found were the Daisy/Minnie and Goofy/Donald meet and greet was. By then it was 11:45am, and we checked in at BOG at 11:50am.
Magic Kingdom part 2 coming soon! I think since this one got so long it will be in 3 parts.
