Magic Kingdom today! Were up early again and have a light breakfast at Everything Pop again. Were at the Magic Kingdom for 8am lovely!
There are 75 Mickeys placed around the entrance to the Magic Kingdom to celebrate his birthday, so naturally when I find a purple one we have to take a photo of it.
We head straight to Tomorrowland. Hubby goes on Space Mountain and I head for the TTA as hubby wants me to wait for him to go on Buzz Lightyears Space Ranger Spin, one of my fave rides.
I wait about 10 minutes after getting off the TTA, which was totally empty and I had a whole carriage to myself. We head to Buzz no queue at all. I get my highest score ever 103,400! Dont ask me how I got it coz I have no idea lol. I got Planetary Pilot woohooo. Second time though I only managed 30,000. Hmph. We buy one of the photos from the ride as its quite funny. After 2 straight goes on Buzz, we went on the TTA together before heading towards Adventureland. We walk through Fantasyland and again, there are no queues. We go on my favourite Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, followed by Peter Pans Flight which Ive never ridden before quite sweet really.
Next we did Mickeys PhilharMagic wow! What a wonderful show. Shame its so short, it goes by so quick. Some of my all-time fave Disney moments are in this show including Lumiere with Be My Guest from Beauty & the Beast and Ariel singing Part of Your World from the Little Mermaid. See this its outstanding!

Were impressed by Early Magic Hour weve managed to do 9 rides in 2 hours! We then find some characters to pose with.
During our walk we stop at Haunted Mansion and theres no wait time so we do it good fun. We dont do Pirates of the Caribbean as Ive heard theres a drop at the beginning. The cast member describes it to me and I tell hubby hell have to do it alone but he decides not to. We aim for the Jungle Cruise but its a 45 minute wait so no thanx! We make it to Frontierland and hubby goes on Splash Mountain no queue followed by Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. I do some shopping, buying a lovely Eeyore watch, and wait for hubby near Liberty Square. We then head back to Tomorrowland for a bite to eat. We get to Buzz Lightyear and again theres no queue, so I drag hubby on again. We then go to Cosmic Rays Starlight Café for burgers. We laugh at the alien dude theyve got playing music at the front of the place. Well cute.

After lunch, we find an internet phone to access mail we want to see if our Mission Space card has arrived yet. Only Andy gets it, it never gets to my hotmail addy. I want to go into Mickey's Star Traders only to find it shut.
Hubby regales me for the rest of the afternoon with his Tigger impressions, including the T-I-double G-Rrrrr which is funny.
T-I-double G-RRRRRRR
We decide to go on the Timekeeper ride which has the voice of Robin Williams man did I feel sick! Never again. Its one of those huge screens so you feel like youre moving all the time. After this, we pick our official photos. There are 2 of us one with the castle in the background, and another with Tink in our hands. We cant decide between the two so we buy both.
We head back to the hotel as weve done all the rides we wanted. We relax for a bit before heading to Ponderosa for dinner. I had steak and hubby had chicken. From the buffet we had meatballs, macaroni cheese, chicken nuggets and rice, followed by jelly and ice cream for pudding. Then it's back to the hotel and I request we stay in as Im exhausted. Early night for me again and hubby has a few beers.
