Florida Vacation - Travel and Magic Kingdom

The first installment of our Disney adventure:
8/2/2009
The flights were mostly uneventful. There was a squabble over the window seat and ear-popping issues. Gator said, "The pilot is doing a really good job on this one!" My parents picked us up at the airport and swept us away to our hotel. After a long day of travel, we fell asleep very quickly.
Today we went to the Magic Kingdom. We hit FantasyLand first and spent the majority of our day there. We rode Dumbo first - I think that it is an unspoken rule that Dumbo is the first ride!

We walked over to TomorrowLand to ride the Speedway. Pregnant girl decided to sit this one out. I wasn't feeling too chipper (it was hot), and the exhaust probably would have put me over the edge. Gator rode with Grandmommy while Bull rode with Granddaddy. Gator bumped them at least once!
We went back to FantasyLand and got fast passes for Pooh and PhilHarMagic. (I LOVE FAST PASSES!!!) While we were waiting for the show to begin, Granddaddy and Gator rode the carousel. All of us loved PhilHarMagic. What a great show! Afterward, we bought some race cars/launchers in the gift shop, ate lunch and rode It's a Small World. Gator COULD NOT BELIEVE how much money was in the water. He wanted to jump in and collect some! Bull was mesmerized by this ride. It's hard not to be!
We strolled over to FrontierLand next and waited in the A/C for Country Bear Jamboree. Bull said, "I don't want to see Donald again!" referring to PhilHarMagic. The boys weren't so impressed by this show, but we were in the A/C! We enjoyed some ice cream and Aladdin before the parade started. The boys both loved the ride because of the controls. In fact, Bull said, "I think I like this one!"

After the parade, we jumped in line for the Jungle Cruise. Bull fell asleep and didn't wake up again until we were back at the hotel!

Monkey and I took a picture by the castle.

We hit the Emporium on the way out of the park for some cute onesies (one for our new nephew and one for Monkey). After dinner, we went swimming in the hotel pool and crashed for the night! Today was a nice introduction to the Disney World experience - nothing too scary, the lines weren't too long, and we quit while the boys were still doing alright. Tomorrow is Epcot!
