What day is this???? I forget what day of our trip this is, but it was our Magic Kingdom day!!! And a special dinner planned at Cali Grill!
We had driven to Magic Kingdom, since we had a car, we decided to take advantage of not having to wait for the bus (or having to stand after a long day. We were able to park really close and walk to the monorail (or boat).
I was a little disappointed that it was all decorated for
MNSSHP already (being it was so early in September). But we love the fall decorations just the same.
Weve been touring WDW with the tips Ive learned from Tour Guide Mike. Id encourage anyone who would like to ride all the rides without waiting more than 15-20 minutes MAX to sign up for his touring plan! It works without a doubt. Thats why it killed me to wait an hour to do Toy Story Mania! (ok, plug for TGM is over)
Our first stop was Pirates of the Caribbean but it was closed temporarily. So off we went to Frontierland. One of our first rides was Splash Mountain (which we will only do if its pretty hot so we arent walking around soaked all day). Before getting on Splash Mountain we grabbed a fast pass for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. The wait time for both rides at that time was pretty much walk on! Luckily we didnt get too wet on Splash Mountain.
After Splash we went over to BTMR and the wait time was still like five minutes so we saved our fast pass and walked right on!
It was soon time to wonder around and we finally found someone who could take our pics (instead of all our self-portraits) You can see a few water spots (but nothing major).
We then walked around Liberty Square towards Fantasyland. On the way we had to stop by the Haunted Mansion. Some day I hope to get a photopass shot here with the ghosts, but never seems to be a photographer there when we are, L
We then enjoyed Fantasyland. We rode IASW (Its a Small World) and please dont get that song going in my head!!! We then rode Winnie the Pooh (hes my fav).
Then it was time for our lunch at Crystal Palace. We eat there just about every time, because, like I said, I LOVE POOH!!! When we got to our table it was decorated for us.
We enjoyed a leisurely lunch with all the characters. Chatted with a Harley owner next to us (its a bond between them!) who took some pics for us (so wed have a few together).
We were then treated to a special celebration cupcake (so yummy)!
We were also treated with a celebration certificate signed by all the characters! (of course I dont have a pic of that).
After our lovely lunch we headed back towards POC. We stopped to enjoy the show
POC was now open so we head in to ride that. (no real wait either since it hadnt been opened long).
When we came out of the gift shop there was a photopass photographer there and I wanted a pic with Captain Hook
The photographer had us switch hats??? What??? Well you can see why.
It was getting late and we have dinner plans so we decided to head out (not watching any parades or shows, lol). We had to stop by the Castle since we really hadnt gotten any pics there this day. Can you see how few people were there.
Up next our anniversary dinner at California Grill.
