About Me

A mom of 4, I blog very rarely, and use this mostly for future memory of when I forgot to capture these events in a baby book somewhere.

Disney part 3

Day 2 we went to Magic Kingdom again.

Here's Kirstine inside Piglet's house.


Dumbo
We ran into Mary Poppins and Bert. Of course Will didn't know who they were, but I definitely did. Mary Poppins was my FAVORITE movie growing up. It's funny how as an adult you KNOW these characters aren't real, yet it's still a little emotional when you kind of sort of get to meet your childhood idol in real life.

This is for Mickey's Philharmagic (i think was the name). Will's absolute favorite attraction. It was (obviously) a 3-D movie based on Fantasia. Donald takes the magic hat and travels through all the Disney movies. Will giggled and reached out when stuff started flying out into the audience. I can't watch 3-D movies anymore since I am now blind. The 3-D effects don't work when I wear my glasses and the 3-D glasses, and if I take mine off everything's just blurry. So it was very fun during this one just watching Will and his reactions.

We left the park pretty early on Monday. We went back to the hotel and ate and went swimming. Then we left the kids with Gran to put to bed and Scott and I went back to the park. This was super fun because we actually got to watch the fireworks (and I do think their show is one of the best I've ever seen) and ride some rides. I think all we did was Stich (so dumb), Space Mountain (we saw Zack and Cody from Disney TV show Suite Life of Zack and Cody. Funny thing is Scott is the one who saw them. He couldn't remember their names at first, and all he could blurt out was "tv show, twins" and then I looked up right as they passed us and all I saw was the back of their hair, and I knew who it was. It then became our mission to try and find them again, but we didn't.), Thunder Mountain a few times, and Splash Mountain. Then we saw the fireworks, ate really good cheese fries (they have awesome condiment bars all over the Disney parks, and this place had cheese sauce to put on your fries, it was SOOOO good), did some shopping, and went home. Very fun date.

I love the pictures from Disney, I can relate when you said your were excited even now that you are an adult. I cried when I saw the show that your son cried for other reasons :)
Just to be there and to see the castle is pretty cool!!!
