We were starting our second day at Magic Kingdom! We had the wake up call set for 6:30 because we wanted to be at MK before rope drop. We called Donnie and the Dallas crew down in room 4018 and they got up and started getting ready but when we called Kenya and her girls they groaned on the phone.
We got dressed. I rubbed on a little extra deodorant for all of the people I would meet in the park who would either forget to put some on or never even thought to put some on.
We knocked on Kenya's door to see if they were ready but didn't get an answer so Farrah called her cell. They were still asleep! Oh well, we weren't waiting for them. We met the Dallas crew and headed out to the bus stop.
I know a lot of people do not like the Disney busses and would rather take their car or a cab, but I'll tell you… for me Disney transportation is the only way to go. Yes, it's kind of upsetting when you're trying to get to Downtown Disney from a park and you realize that you can't, but I'd still rather take a bus than try to find my way in a car. I tend to get very nervous when I'm driving in unfamiliar territory…uncomfortably nervous… flatulently nervous. You get my whiff.. I mean, my drift?
Okay, back to the bus, which smells like someone's been very nervous on it already
.
We ride to MK with no incident and make our way into the home of Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin!!!!!
Here's a picture of the Magic Kingdom Train Station with the Year of A Million Dreams Banner:
And here is our requisite picture of the castle:
No Donnie did not give Jasmine and Ayeshia bunny ears at the last minute. I knew he was doing it when I took the picture. After I snapped the picture, the both socked him for it.
(
okay I have some pictures of the gowns made out of dolls on Main Street but my cd just stuck in the drive and I can't get them uploaded. I'll add them as soon as I can get someone from Tech Support to liberate my CD.)
Here is Jasmine and Anesha's version of a hidden Mickey. Can you find it?
We headed straight over to Tomorrowland, as is tradition. Farrah, Jasmine, Donnie, Myeshia and Anesha go straight to Space Mountain and Ayeshia and I ride the TTA/People Mover.
Ayeshia is a rollercoaster rider, so the TTA was a let down for her, even the high speed curves didn't impress her and "Paging Mr. Morrow… Mr. Tom Morrow" was lost on her. She looked at me like I had just lost my mind when I started laughing at that.
Hey, don't look at me like that. I didn't get you pregnant 
By the time we got off of TTA, the others were back from SM. The younger crew wanted to ride Stitch's Great Escape so Farrah went with them while Donnie, Ayeshia and I went to hear about the future that is the past that is Carousel of Progress. There was only about four families total waiting to see COP so we basically got to sit where ever we wanted and didn't have to worry about filling in all available seats. There were about four non-American men that sat down right in front of us and talked LOUDLY to each other and/or on their cell phones the whole time. At one point, I leaned over to them and said "Just because I can't understand you; doesn't mean I can't hear you." But they just looked at me and continued talking. I guess they couldn't understand me either.
After COP, we waited for the others and got in line for BUZZ!!!
Not Zzub, there was no line waiting for him. And if there was, I doubt I'd get in it.
Actually, there really wasn't a line for Buzz either. We got on, got dismal points and got off. Then we…
GOT ON AGAIN. Got slightly less dismal points and got off.
Next we headed to the Tomorrowland Speedway. As we were waiting in the always-too-long line, we saw this guy:
He had actually just finished primping the flowers. You tend to take these types of jobs for granted when you are in a place where perfection is commonplace, so we were really taking this picture to honor him, instead it looks like he's about to take a crap in the bushes - with his bucket nonetheless. Sorry about that dude. You rock…
We roll on… it's time to feel the wind whip against our faces as we bank curves at a whopping two miles an hour.
The people ahead of me must have really had their pedal to the metal. I couldn't get by them.
Next up is the Mad Hatter's Tea Party. Alice and the Mad Hatter were giving autographs but their lines were too long so we went to the Tea Party without them.
Donnie Jr. and Anesha were talking trash about racing us in the Teacups but Jasmine and I were not having that. It was on… like Donkey Kong (remember that game). The object was to go as fast as possible without stopping!
Want to know who won? You be the judge.
I guess you notice who gave up first! The purple team is victorious!!!
"Donnie, the secret is to keep your eyes on the spinner and just forget everyth… Hey where are you going?" Sore loser
Toon Town is next. Farrah, Donnie, Ayeshia and I get on Goofy's Barnstormer while Jasmine, Anesha and Myeshia got to see Minnie's and Mickey's House. There was no one in line. We just walked right on, yet the line was still longer than the ride
: When we pulled back in there wasn't anyone waiting to get back on so we were told if we wanted to stay on don't get up. We stayed on the ride and was back in about 30 seconds. That was enough for us. As we got off the ride, Jasmine, Anesha and Myeshia were getting on, they rode and caught up with us as we were walking down the ramp
We then headed to Frontierland to ride the Wildest Ride in the Wilderness!! The line was a walk on for BTMRR too but that didn't stop me from getting this picture:
I just love that sign. Lytum & Hyde Explosives Company
Ingenius!
Next, we headed to my nemesis, Splash Mountain.
Let me give you a little back ground on my relationship with Splash: I have always been deathly afraid of it, but I've hidden it from my family very well.
1. In the summer/spring: "I'm not getting in that line, it's a 75 minute wait"
2. In the fall/winter: "I'm not getting on that ride, it's too cold to get wet"
Well, there was no wait this time and it wasn't too cold to get wet, so I would just have to point-blank refuse. However, I really wanted to conquer my fear but I really didn't want to get wet.
Farrah promised me that you don't get very wet so I went ahead and bit the bullet. The entire time I told her that I didn't want to get wet and the entire time she assured me that I wouldn't get wet.
When we got in line a cm handed us this little beauty:
We took a picture because that may be the closest we get to a Dream FastPass, or will it?
So do you want to know if I got wet on Splash Mountain
No, I didn't get wet…
I GOT SOAKED!!!
And it wasn't even the plunge that did it. As we are lazily drifting along and round the bend in front of the drop a log comes down and splashes us then another one comes and splashes us AGAIN!!!
I cursed a blue streak and called Farrah everything but a child of God. But I got over it.
Will I ever ride Splash Mountain again? Definitely!
***
That's it for today.
Join me again tomorrow to hear whether Kenya and her girls ever wake up and if Donnie's Birthday Dinner at Coral Reef (the only other thing I planned) came off without a hitch.
See ya!
and he hands them off to his family. He also assumes that the bags were little gifts from the resort so we had to set him straight 
! Your family is so great looking 
and I can't wait to hear more. What dates were you all in the world?
