We head to MK and things are not looking good. It was cloudy at the resort, but as we are approaching the MK, it is looking really bad:
This should have been a warning as to what was coming.
We go into the park and get our stroller. We walk down Main Street and this is what we see:
We find a spot to watch SpectroMagic spot right outside the ice cream shop, under the top cover. I caught a few pictures before the rain:
This photo should have told us to head back to the resort right away:
It starts to drizzle and then storm. When I say storm, I mean thunder, lightning and heavy downpour rain. We were huddling under, but we were still getting wet. I was standing holding the poncho behind me to hide the stroller with Madi in it. Jaden and DH were sort of behind the stroller and not getting too wet. We are stuck here. They make an announcement that Spectromagic and Wishes are cancelled for the evening. That throws my whole week off. I am a planner and this was the night we were supposed to watch Spectromagic. We will have to make a decision to come back the next evening that Spectromagic is showing, or watch Fantasmic at HS. What will it be?
Everyone was heading out the park soaked. We decide to wait it out, even though SM is not showing, maybe the rain will stop and we can catch a few rides. The rain starts to slow down and some, not enough for us to move, and people under the top with us start to leave so we get closer to the building. The ice cream shop also starts to clear out, and we decide to head inside and get an ice cream. Now it is barely drizzling. We head to Fantasyland to ride Madi's favorite ride, the Mad Tea Party. Next, we head to Tommorrowland and ride Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger spin. This is a must do each trip.
As we are heading over, the rain starts to pick up. We are already on our way, so we continue on. When we get off of Buzz, it is no longer drizzling. Madi realizes we are right near the carousel of Progress. So we run over. After we get off the Carousel of Progress, we decide that we do not want to dodge the rain. So we head back to the resort. By the time we get to the bus stop, we are soaked.
That is the end of day 1.
Up next, Day 2 - HS.

Can't wait to read how the rest of your trip went.
Oh, and I live in Denham Springs, just east of Baton Rouge. Praying that the oil mess gets solved and the pres doesn't shut down the gulf
The stage gets in its spot right in front of the hat, and the CM brings our rope and we are right in front. Madi forgets about her popcorn right about now. The sun is beating down on us, I feel it on the back of my neck. I was videoing the concert celebration, so I don't have many pictures. At the end when they are almost done and they bring up children from the audience, they pick both my girls. They are so excited. Madi is reluctant to go up at first, but she does and has a wonderful time. School has done wonders for her. 
I am the only one who will ride ToT and the wait time was about 45 minutes, so we check out RNRC. The wait time is only about 20 minutes. Shannon and Jaden wait in line to ride, while Madi and I find some shade to enjoy her popcorn. They are off the ride before you know it, there is no way the wait was 20 minutes. While waiting, the wait time jumped to 30 minutes then 40 minutes then back down to 15 minutes. When they get off, Jaden and I take our turn to ride. We didn't wait that long either. After we all ride, we head back into the gift shop. Jaden decides on a chain, I get a trading pin and FIL plays guitar, so we get him a guitar pic. When we are done, we check again on wait time for ToT, still long. I decide that I don't want to wait that long just for me to ride and I know that we will be back to HS again later in our trip. We make our way out the park, stopping in a couple of shops on the way out.
