We left Kidani Village to head to the Magic Kingdom. I want to know what Disney was thinking when they put the smoking section right outside of the door that you have to pass to get to the bus stop. Almost every time we walk by there was some one smoking; usually they tried to turn the other way. Really stupid place for the smoking section.
Bus to magic kingdom was not bad. We didnt have a lot of time in MK since we had an 8:30 ADR at Whispering Canyon.
The girls decided they wanted to go on Jungle cruise first thing. Sydney starts leading us there. My 4 year old can already navigate her way around MK. Not sure if that is good or bad. When we get to jungle cruise, it had a pretty long standby wait, so we got fast passes. Had to deal with an upset girl about why we were not waiting for Jungle Cruise since that was what she wanted to go on.
We decided to walk towards Big Thunder Mountain Railroad to see if maybe it had a short wait. On the way there guess who we found.
We get on line to get Goofys autograph. DH goes to check BTMR, I think it had too long of a line so we skipped it.
Right as we were finish getting Goofys autograph, it started to pour. I had brought our ponchos with us except they were in a bag on the stroller which was back by Jungle Cruise not covered. We walked back to Jungle cruise and the rain was just a drizzle. Girl wanted Tiki Room and Magic Carpet ride. We checked the time for Tiki Room; next show was starting in 15 minutes. Told the girls it was too long of a wait for our first day, we would get back to it.
Got in line for the Magic Carpet ride. I think it was a 5 minute line. I decided to go cover the stroller, figured if I didnt get back in time I would just skip the ride. I was back before we got on the ride. Im not sure why I have so few pictures of this evening. It is so not like me to only take 7 pictures in 2 hours at MK. I did not seem to take a first night castle shot or anything except for the Goofy Pictures. I did take over 1067 pictures on my camera. All of one of our breakfast pictures was on MILs camera. You will have to stay tuned to find out why.
The whole time we were on line for Magic Carpet, they kept on making announcements about how MK was under a thunderstorm and the ride might get shut down.
After Carpet, we went to jungle cruise to use our Fast passes. My girls love this ride.
I think after we finished we figured it was time to start leaving for the boat to Wilderness Lodge.
After the long walk from the boat dock, we were at WCC about 5 minutes early for our ADR.
The girls played Lincoln Logs while we waited.
Dinner was fun. Girls loved the antics.
It was funny watching them try and do the ketchup run. They did the horse race.
They did have enough before we were done. We asked the server to box up the desserts. Funny thing is I have eaten at WCC twice on the Dining plan and once without. I have never eaten dessert there. When we didnt have the dining plan, we skipped dessert. The two times with the dining plan, we ordered the desserts to go. Just meant no ice cream for dessert. At this point we were all so exhausted that the thought of getting back to the resort did not seem fun. I was thinking to myself, why didnt we schedule this for when we were at BLT, and then we could just take the boat back.
Not sure whos idea it was, but we decided to take a cab back. I was just going to put the girls in the stroller to wait, but instead went outside to find out about getting a cab for 5 people. I ask the valet , telling them that Im still waiting for 2 people to settle the check at WCC. I walked out before we were given the check. I missed the special cake they brought out for MIL or the singing for her not sure which since I was out side. A cab comes and they tell me it is for us. I explain to the driver that Im still waiting for 2 people to settle up the bill at WCC. I also make sure that the cab will fit 5 people. Driver says no problem just get in and wait. At this point it is starting to rain again. I get the girls into the cab, stroller in the trunk. I get Dani seat belted and I realize that there is only 3 seatbelts in back. I am watching the door looking for DH and MIL, and I see them coming, MIL takes a step and is on the floor. This was right in front of the door, but still WL. I leave the girls in the cab to help MIL make sure she is okay. I have no clue what I said to the girls and the driver. DH helps MIL up. She says she is fine and just wants to go. I am really surprised that no one from WL really helped or tried to make sure she was okay. We got into the cab, which seem to have the slowest cab driver. MIL sat in the front seat, the rest of us in the back. I had Sydney seat belted between DH and me. I was sitting between both girls kind of keeping their seat belts in place.
I think the cab ride was $25 or $27. More then I expected since every report I read said oh most cab rides are only around ten dollars.
Both girls fell asleep in the cab. We opened the stroller and put them in. We stopped at the gift shop to get our mugs. DH and I got coffee, MIL got decaf. DH also filled up one of the girl mug with soda, dont remember if we filled up both or not.
Walked the endless walk to the room, had MIL put her leg up. Her knee and elbow were both swelling up. DH and I gave her ice to put on them.
