Disney World Day 4 - Magic Kingdom

Our final full day was spent at Magic Kingdom. The park opened at 9 and we made it there by 9:30.

Our first stop was the barber shop. Trey had read online that you can ask for pixie dust at the barber shop. I expected the pixie dust to be about the size of glitter, but it was actually more like confetti.  Brooke didn't want to lose her pixie dust and asked several times throughout the day if she still had her pixie dust.  It was pretty much gone by the end of the day.

I really wanted to check out the new Belle attraction, but Trey wanted to go to Adventureland to see if we could find Jasmine. There was no wait for Aladdin's carpet ride, so the big girls and I got on. Trey and AG walked around until they found Jasmine's meet and greet spot. We got off the ride and had to wait a few minutes. Aladdin was with Jasmine. He was definitely more entertaining than Jasmine.

After meeting Jasmine, we headed to Pirates of the Caribbean. There was a very short wait. The girls loved it.

We finally made our way to the Belle attraction. There was a 40 minute wait. We decided to wait since it might be an even longer wait later on. It was worth the wait. Belle comes into the library and acts out a play with the kids. Belle gave the girls bookmarks at the end.

It was time to eat lunch, so we made our way to the baby center to change AG. Then we wasted some time just finding a decent and not too expensive place to eat without a huge line. We ended up in Tomorrowland. By the time we got settled, both little girls were asleep in the stroller. We ate and put the little girls food away.

 

We went by Space Mountain and picked up fast passes. Then headed to the area with the dumbo ride. The girls woke up, so we let them eat. We picked up fast passes for the barn stormer roller coaster. Then we got on the train and rode around the park.

It was time to ride the roller coaster when we got back. We had to take turns since AG couldn't ride. Brooke and I rode first. I was a little nervous for Brooke. This was her first roller coaster ride. She loved it! At the end, she said "can we do that again". While Trey and Audrey rode the coaster, Brooke played in the new water play area. We would have brought the girls bathing suits if we knew about this area.

We then headed to Space Mountain. I felt a little guilty leaving the girls to ride something by myself, but it was so worth it. Trey took the girls on the Peoplemover while I was on space mountain. Trey took his turn on space mountain and the girls and I waited for him.

We took Audrey back to Adventureland to get beads in her hair. I went to the dole place to get a dole whip. I had to wait in line about 30 mins. By the time I made it back to the hair place, Trey and the girls were gone. I has been trying to communicate via text message and had called and left messages, but Trey was not checking his phone. I just found a table near the hair place an ate my dole whip. Trey and the girls finally showed up. They has a dole whip to share as well, but it had melted a lot by the time they got there.

Trey picked up fast passes for splash mountain and made sure Brooke was tall enough to ride. We then had time to kill so we went and rode the haunted mansion. We also made our way to Tiana's meet and greet spot. Prince Naveen joined her.

Our final ride was splash mountain. I tried to get Brooke to ride with Trey, but she insisted on riding with her mama. I really didn't know how she'd take the big drop at the end. I tried my best to prepare her as we waited in line. She enjoyed the small hills and everything else about the ride. As we approached the big drop, I warned her and told her that she would be fine. I watched her during the drop and she had a look of terror on her face. I just knew the screaming and crying were about to begin. But she was giggling and smiling by the time we made it to the end.




It was close to 8 and we still had not eaten dinner, so we decided to leave. We picked up KFC and went back to the hotel to eat. Audrey went to sleep immediately after eating. The little girls still had a ton of energy, though. They ran around the room while Trey and I packed up.
