Exactly!Only in Disney would I even come close to considering this a breakfast…
Good point. We tend to spend a LOT of time there.We were just in the MK the night before, but Alex and I still picked that park to visit that morning. Ever since having Landon, the two of us found that particular park to be the one we want to go into the most. There’s just no comparing the sheer number of attractions we can experience with a toddler in any other place.
Although this is a valid point too. We'd spend a lot of time there even if the kids weren't with us.Besides…it’s Magic Kingdom.
Do we need a reason to visit it every day of our trip?
I feel your pain. Did he at least tolerate it well?Not a common sight for us, but we were just too tired to chase after him that day.
Keep us all night, we revoke your walking privileges.
Such cruel parents…
There's no need for a good picture as long as he enjoyed the meet and greet.We might not have been capable of taking a decent picture, but at least the meet went well.
Well that just instills confidence.It slid over the spot where the debris was with no problem.
The two Cast Members kind of shared a, “What do you wanna do?” look with each other.
And I kid you not, they just shrugged their shoulders.
Uh oh... Who'd have thought a simple cup or something could bring a ride to a halt?Landon seemed to be paying serious attention to the ride. I think he might have recognized the characters as the same ones from breakfast a few days ago. It was seeming to be a really cute and enjoyable attraction, but we didn’t make it past Tigger’s bouncing when the ride came to a stop.
Well, thanks for sharing your illegal photo.I took this photo then promptly got scolded by a Cast Member.
“No pictures, please!”
Oops.
I once got reprimanded for trying to take a picture of an empty log flume sitting on the hill at Splash... when I wasn't even actually trying to take a picture. I just had my phone in my hand. They really don't want pictures of broken down rides to get out. Not that they can really stop it...
Exactly! You can't have that kind of experience every time!While Alex and I did not get to experience a new ride that afternoon, we did get escorted off of one, and I got reprimanded by a CM.
So, some new stuff happened.
Gotta look on the positive side.
I like your "glass half full" attitude about the whole thing!And now we still have a ride that’ll be new to us.
Yep. A little time to just lose yourself can go a long way.She then went on to tell us how her daughter had been in glasses for about as long as Landon and she had received a call that very morning from her optometrist saying that her daughter needed corrective surgery.
As any mom who discovers their kid has to undergo a medical procedure, she became sad and didn’t really feel like going to work that day. They lived in Daytona and were Annual Passholders, and I guess the mom decided spur of the moment to pick her daughter up from preschool and head to Disney for the day.
She said she just needed something happy after that news.
Sometimes, a little Disney magic can go a long way to improving one’s spirit.
He loves the ladies!Cinderella was trying to get Landon to look at the camera for a picture, but clearly my son didn’t want to tear his eyes away from such pretty royalty.
What am I gonna do with him…
That is just awesome! I'm glad you were able to help spread some magic. Definitely therapeutic for you guys and for that mom.We were standing next to the mom and daughter from the line, and so Alex pulled out our 3 (because Landon got a free one, too) Fastpasses from Winnie the Pooh and offered them to the mom. She was so surprised by the gesture and kept thanking us; then she read the list of attractions they were good for and almost came out of her skin when she saw Peter Pan’s Flight listed.
“Oh my goodness, we were just going to have to skip that ride because the wait’s always so long for it.”
Her sheer joy at getting multiple turns on a ride she otherwise couldn’t have gone on made our day.
Made our trip, really.
