Saturday was our first full day in one of the parks, so we of course decided to start with the Magic Kingdom. Here we are with all of our gear waiting for the bus to pick us up from the hotel. We do not travel light (and we don't even have Kate with us yet!).
All of the books said that "Dumbo" was sort of a silly carnival ride...and that all kids LOVE it. And, they were right. Likely not worth the 20 minute wait in line for us adults, but the girls thought it was fabulous! And that, of course, made us think it was fabulous too. It was our first stop that morning...
One of my favorite memories of Disney as a child was riding the teacups, so that was a "must" as well. Bucko and I took one for the team and rode in the teacup with the girls--who had predeclared that they wanted to go "FAST!". And, we did. After Bucko and I stumbled off the ride, Anna's comment was "Whew--good thing we did this before Kate got here. I think this would have made her spit up and make tea!"
Later in the morning we ventured to Fairytale Garden for Storytime with Belle. Oh, the girls loved it! Sydney even got to be in the story (as the clock). Anna and Natalie loved watching her in the production, and thought getting to meet Belle afterwards was just fantastic.
One of my favorite things about Disney World was all of the live entertainment. For whatever reason, it just made the whole experience that much more "magical". The girls loved the show in front on the castle about Dreams--Anna still talks about it every day! Throughout the trip, we adults spent an inordinate amount of time in this position shown above so the girls could see the "action". I think we're all about 3 inches shorter than we were pre-Disney, and may all require some therapy/surgery for compressed discs. But, the girls had a great view, so again, we're happy!
We wrapped up our morning/early afternoon at Magic Kingdom (before returning to the hotel for a rest) with some of the yummiest pineapple frozen yogurt I've ever had! As you can see, Anna enjoyed it too...
Welcome Kate and Daddy!! After a 3 hour delay in Houston because of bad weather, we were THRILLED to have Daddy and Kate join us in FL! They met us at the hotel during our afternoon break, and then ventured back into the park with us that evening. While most of us adults found it rather underwhelming (and a little creepy), Kate loved her first Disney show--Country Bear Jamboree. Little does she know what more fun adventures lay ahead in the next few days...
