Brian (26) loves Disney hates roller coasters
Susan (30-ish) Disney Fanatic dislikes hills
Eric (30-ish) loves Disney daredevil has jumped out of perfectly good airplanes.
Susan and Eric had their keys to the kingdom tour today so they had a very early start while DH and I slept in till about 9a.m. I got up first and proceeded to walk around the French Quarter. I fell in love with this resort I wish we had a water view of the lake but I also know we hardly spent any time in the room so the money would have been wasted. I got back up to the room with filled soda cups and beignets YUMMY! These are awesome! After breakfast we showered and dressed and headed to the Magic Kingdom. We got their about 11:15 and waited 20 minutes for Guest Services to get our annual passes. Then we waited another 20 minutes to get through security and into the park. I am not a patient person and evidently must have been in a not so Disney mood because eventually DH told me to chill out.
Entering the park HOW AWESOME! The park is so cute all decorated for the holidays. You cant even describe it is like the daily Disney magic times 10!! We proceed to Caseys to grab some hot dogs and fries since DH is already hungry. We love Caseys and try to eat here multiple times on the trip (are you picking up a theme here?)
After Caseys I head straight to tomorrow land and get in line for Space Mountain which posted a 20 minute wait it was only 10. I love Space Mountain. DH of course was not thrilled that the first ride I picked was a rollercoaster, but he went on it anyway and as usual enjoyed it. He just psyches himself out to much while waiting in line.
To make it up to him we headed to Phillarmagic but then stopped to watch a Sword in the Stone ceremony. This is the first time we had ever caught this and thought it was really cute. That kiddo was so excited to be King. Phillarmagic is of course magical! And we love watching it. After that we hit Haunted Mansion no creepy thin men this time for me to slam against a wall. And then Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. It is about 2pm the neighbors tour is over so we met over by Dumbo to grab some refreshments and sit down a bit. They tour sounds really great and now DH wants to do it guess Ill have to plan another trip.
We proceed back to Space Mountain, Buzz Lightyear, Haunted mansion again (did you know there are 5 hidden Mickeys in the haunted mansion and we found them all!) Then Eric, Brian, and I headed to Splash Mountain while Susan went to check in at Tonys. We are just getting off Splash when the cell phone rings, Um, they just announced us at Tonys. I tell ya we never got through the park so fast in our lives. I was behind Eric screaming directions RIGHT! LEFT GO THROUGH THAT GROUP I think we may have trampled some small children but Im sure they were fine.
Tonys I could have skipped. Blah.
After Tonys we headed back to do Peter Pan, Dumbo, Snow Whites Scary Adventure, and Phillarmagic again. We ran over to Pirates of the Caribbean and then to Aloha Isle for my only Dole Whip of the trip. A moment of silence please okay Im better now. Right as we hit the bridge from Adventure Land back to Main Street the sky erupted with Wishes. I love this show! So we watched from their which wasnt the perfect spot but you got the general idea. When it was done we sat outside some benches by the Crystal Palace and watched the parents go by. We had a great time trying to figure out which kids had naps (happy smiling children) and which ones didnt (unhappy or sleeping children). Suddenly Eric announces he has never eaten at Caseys. Since none of really liked our dinner at Tonys Caseys sounded like a great idea so we headed there got orders and sat outside watching the crowds. The park closed at 8pm it is now 9pm and we are up at the castle taking pictures with no one in the park it was awesome! We stayed for the Kiss goodnight and then headed back to the resorts. It was a perfect Disney day.
