Day 2 Magic Kingdom Watch out for things that drop under trees
First I must say that I sit here and write this from my room while drinking my second glass of wine from the concierge. I LOVE the concierge service. Again, I don't think we will do it any other way.
Only thing I am dissapointed about is the fact that we have not had any towel animals yet and Julia looks forward to them. I poked Mark about it today so hopefully that will get results. Also, we did not get anything for Julia other than the cake. With all of the early planning, I was told they were going to do something for her and they asked several times what my DD's favorite character is so I thought she may get a card or whatever from Tink or Pooh. Sigh. Oh well.
Did someone say that attendance was low? We started out the day at Chef Mickeys for a fantastic breakfast and we also introduced Julia to the whole idea of the Autograph. Fun fun fun. Lots of celebrations while we are there and the whole place wished Julia a happy birthday. Nice! They also gave her a button that says, Todays my birthday. People told us that she would get lots of happy birthdays by wearing it but we only heard 2 the whole day. Strange and somewhat disappointing I guess. No matter. Shes 3 years old and probably doesnt care too much right?
Anyway, after breakfast we take the monorail over to the Magic Kingdom. The fun begins. Ok, we are a party consisting of me, my wife, my daughter, my mother in law, my father in law, my sister in law, and her husband. WHAT FUN IT IS TO COORDINATE! I was losing my patience for a good part of the first hour at the Magic Kingdom. The place was PACKED! It was HOT! We just couldnt get a plan together and it seemed like nobody was listening to me. We finally get something of a plan together and head on over to Its a small world. Everyone goes on but me. I stay and watch the stroller and all the bags. After that we all decide it would be best to split up. (Woooohooo!) My wife, daughter, and I all head over to Dumbo. DW and DD go on as I wait for them in the shade under a tree. I felt something hit my side lightly so I look to see what it was. Bird poop!! Yep! I got bombed. This did not make me happy. I said many fine words quietly to myself. Can you all imagine???
So
I head on over to the bathroom to clean up. Its all over my shirt. Could be worse. All clean. Back to Dumbo. Then when done, its off to the Carousel. Daddy gets to ride with DD and loves every minute of it. What a quality Carousel too. Not something I am used to seeing. After that, its off to Peter Pans Flight (???). About now its running around 12:30 to 1pm so we all decide to do lunch. We went back to the hotel room and got some take out from Whispering Canyon and hoped that Julia would take a nap. She was ready to pass out when we are at the kingdom but seemed to get a second (maybe even third) wind at the room. Slowly as the afternoon went on it was apparent that we werent going to get back to the Magic Kingdom. Julia got worse and worse and finally, in a temper tantrum like no other, she plopped her head down and went to sleep. HURRAH! Around 7:00pm, the concierge crew came to the door with birthday cake for Julia. We all had this great cake and headed down to the lobby for Julia to play on her bridge for a while. The rest of us just sat around and relaxed.
The day didnt go QUITE as planned but we made it through. Tomorrows plans are not too exciting. Its one of our scheduled downtime days at the pool. Maybe well do the boat cruise with a pontoon boat as well. Either way, we bumped into Corky and her husband Fred and son Jared again tonight. They had just returned from Spectro Magic and loved it! The plan is for us all to get together for a little while tomorrow. Sorry for the not so exciting report for the day. I figured it would get a laugh just for the bird bombing incident. More tomorrow. Night night Disrs!
