Hello All and welcome back to my trip reports. Next installment is day 6 at the Magic Kingdom.
Breakfast was again up in the cocierge lounge. Today I tried the oatmeal and boy was it the best oatmeal I had ever had. I'm really addicted to the coffee machine and these delicious pastries and muffins. YUMMY!!!
The mother in law would like some oatmeal, but it has brown sugar and she can't have it. I spoke to Theresa and not 5 minutes later, they brought out a small pot of regular oatmeal. "Well, it's about time" was my MIL's comment. I didn't even waste my breath telling her I had requested it for her. Some people just will never be happy.
So off to the MK we go. Today we were doing Fantasyland first since we skipped it on Sunday. We also missed the parade and that was a definite on my schedule.
My little guy Zachary wasn't feeling to great, and wound up sleeping most of today. Slept through most of the rides at tomorrowland. I was so upset. This was the part of the trip I really thought he'd love.
Anyway We did Peter Pan (longest of the waits 20 mintues), Snow white (walked on), It's a small world (also walked on). We decided to go back over to tomorrowland and ride Buzz a few times before we staked a spot for the Share the Magic parade.
I love that parade. It is just fabulous. My son Dylan (4) actually got to go out and dance with some of the characters.
Oh did I forget to mention it is really HOT and HUMID. I think to myself how horrible I'll look in all the pictures. Frizzy hair and a sweat ball. How lovely. That's why I wear a hat in most of my pictures, not to protect my head from the ravages of the sun, but because between florida water and the humidity, my head is one big frizz ball.
We have priority seatings at the Plaza Restaurant on Main street at 3:30, so we head right over there after the parade. We really appreciated the strong air conditioning in there. It just brings you back to life. I truly can't imaging how much worse it could be in July or August. Some of you going then will have to tell me.
The Menu at the Plaza for lunch is very varied. They have burgers, salads, and lots of sandwiches. We all pretty much had something different. Zachary came back to life a little bit (thanks for motrin) and said he was hungry. No chicken nuggets in this restaurant, so we ordered him the mini hot dogs. Dylan wanted them too. The MIL went crazy when I said to order 2 kids meals. "They'll never eat it". Well, that's all I had to hear. " 2 kids meals please". Guess what - They ate it all.
Dylan fell asleep in his stroller after lunch, so I did some shopping on Main Street. I love those shops. I could spend an entire day just shopping and browsing.
It was about 5 pm and DH and I looked at each other and said "Swimming?" "Absolutely" back to AKL we went.
We spent the next couple of hours swimming in the pool. Dylan loves the water slide and goes up and around about a hundred times. AHHHH, so refreshing.
The evening cordials and desserts are the perfect way to end the night, and the boys love seeing their friends in the lounge.
Today was our second day at the MK.
