As we embark onto day 2, I am sorting through all of my lovely pictures. I am having trouble figuring out what we did here in the beginning of the week. Disney fog. haha
I think I got it! haha Today was MAGIC KINGDOM DAY!
I love this part for the obvious... memories. I have beautiful memories coming here with my family, the first time at the Contemporary with my cousins David, Kevin and Suzanne (Mom and Dad of course), going with our neighbors the Radgowski's, my Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop, Jordan's first trip (where he put one whole pancake in his mouth, impressively... I wish I could find that video!) Our honeymoon, going again a few months after my honeymoon with my family for Alexis' first trip where she hugged all the characters, Going again with Tim a year later celebrating ... Big family trip with my family the year before Ty was born-Meg's (sis in law) first time,... Then getting to show Tyler the "world" - incredible... and blessed that he has been there 3 times already. Basically what I am getting at... my parents started this Disney love affair, by creating the most magical memories, and through the years, the love for Disney has just grown... and now I am creating my own memories. The Magic Kingdom, to me is the "heart". Its the innocence, the wonder...I can climb back in and be that 5 year old that thought the castle was built just for her. It is incredible to watch Tyler now, and see his love blossom for all that is Disney. A timeless tradition of magic and happiness. Where all is possible, just by believing... Sigh...ok, I will stop now and get on with the story.
"Why I outta... "...haha
We headed out to Magic Kingdom. Last year, it was in the 80s ALL week... One evening of chilliness, but warm... this week, we had a few warm days, but it was a cool high 60-70s here and there. Not thinking, we put Ty in shorts... DUH. He had a sweatshirt, but we made it to the MK and realized we needed to buy him sweatpants. I was on a mission. I found some, but they were way too big, so we ran to Mickey's Toontown, where we found a pair. Whew... Off to enjoy the magic.
New Mickey Pants!
We decided to get a little snack for the little man... the lil native was restless. haha Got a soft pretzel, something to drink and we sat down to soak it all in. We had ressies for the next day at Hollywood and Vine, but it was not a character meal, and I said to Tim, why don't we try something else? He agreed and got on the phone with Disney Dining. We decided to try the new restaurant Yak and Yeti at the Animal Kingdom Park. We were all set with that and decided to ride some rides. Tyler LOVES the Haunted Mansion. He went on it last year with Tim and I, and this year I was flying solo with little Cooley Ty... He was a little scared, but still loved it. Guess he will love the horror movies like his daddy... not I. The Haunted Mansion ROCKS though.
Tim was not feeling great, so Ty and I continued on and ventured onto Pirates of the Caribbean. No wait at all, in the meantime, Tim went over to get us fastpasses for The Jungle Cruise.
The Pirates ride is always so neat, but even cuter was Ty singing Yo Ho Yo Ho a Pirates Life for Me... Music to my pirate lovin ears :)
"Eat a sandwich!!!"
Captain Jack-Johnny Depp!!!
When we got off, Tim met up with us, and we went to the Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Room... haha you know you are singing it. We have not ventured in for a few years (ahem, since I was prob, ahem 5) but it was all re-done. I thought it was cute, Tim thought it was a few minutes of his life that he would not get back again, haha and Ty wanted to go see it again. It had lots of music, so no wonder. haha
We talked him into the Jungle Cruise instead. We didn't have to wait long. Our boat driver guy was funny, as they all usually are...
and Ty really loved it.
After that ride, it was almost time for the parade...
We got us a perfect little spot and didn't have to wait long at all. We had front row seats and it was adorable as always!
It was awesome that Tim got picked to be in the parade... haha just kidding honey...
Pooh waving at Ty
Ty waved at everyone... very sweet
Ursula... The Sea Witch... looking rather friendly...
And yes, I made an appearance as well, although the blond wig was a bit itchy...
After the parade, we were EXHAUSTED! haha We grabbed a bite to eat at the Casey's hotdog place and decided it was time to head back. We wanted to get settled, relax a bit, check out the resort... and well, Tim and Ty wanted to play in the arcade of course!
Tim and Ty had a blast at the arcade. They won lots of tickets that we saved the whole week.
They are cute little gamers... I like the skee ball, or basketball... these two were in their glory. I of course hit the shop! You know it!
We ate pizza I think, and the movie was held inside. I believe it was Enchanted and we had front row seats :) We of course let Ty have another ice cream sundae... haha Chocolate ALL OVER and of course the sugar kept him up longer. Who cares, we were in Disney, enjoying every little bit that we could. We got on our jammies... laptops, I worked a little more, and got the pictures off the camera. After a bit, we all were tired and fell sound asleep.
Next up...
Animal Kingdom and Tim is SOAKED!
