Disney Day 5: Magic Kingdom

This was the big day! We had a fast pass to meet Anna and Elsa.  The only catch was we had to wait until 8:40. So we decided to go to the park for the morning and head back to the hotel after lunch to rest before returning in the evening.

We noticed when we arrived that Merida had a very short line. The girls had never met her so they were excited. They were also given a picture to color while they waited to meet her.


Next, we headed to the Winnie the Pooh ride.  We had a short wait, but the girls enjoyed playing while we went through the line.



Our next fast pass was for Big Thunder Mountain. The big girls and I rode first while Trey waited with AG. We all loved it and the girls rode again with Trey. I took a picture of AG while we waited.


We had some time before our next fast pass, so we headed to Tom Sawyer Island.  We had never explored the island before. The kids had a lot of fun and it was a relaxing way to kill some time.

The girls and I rode Splash Mountain next while Trey and AG waited.  I got pretty wet and we were heading to lunch next. Luckily, it was warm and I dried quickly.

On our walk to lunch, we encountered the new Move It, Shake It, Dance and Play it Street Party.  This was actually the first day of this party. We watched for a few minutes and Brooke even danced with Jessie.




Our lunch reservations were at Crystal Palace, another character buffet.  The food is great and the girls enjoyed the characters. AG took pictures with all except Tigger.  Brooke was given a cupcake for her birthday.  We probably will not visit Crystal Palace next time since the girls are getting a little old for the Winnie the Pooh characters.








After lunch, we caught a bus back to our hotel to relax. Of course, the girls wanted to go swimming. Trey took them to the pool and then they came back to the room to rest. We were hoping the girls would nap, but no luck. We headed back to the park around 6:15.

Our first stop was dinner. We planned to get hot dogs at Casey's, but it was packed.  Brooke was also asleep in the stroller making if difficult for all of us to get in line. So we went to our second choice, Columbia Harbor House.  There wa also a wait there, but I wax able to grab a table while Trey and Audrey got the food.  The food was decent. Brooke woke up as we were eating.

After dinner Trey wanted to head to Splash Mountain since he did not ride it earlier. Audrey wanted to ride with him. The little girls and I went to a little play area nearby. They had a blast.

It was finally time to meet Anna and Elsa. The regular line had a 90 minute wait. With our fast passes, we had to wait about 5 minutes. The girls loved meeting Anna and Elsa. Elsa was amazing and spent so much time with the girls.  At the end, AG said "Kiss, Elsa?" Elsa was so sweet and let AG kids her on the cheek.








Anna was not as great in her interaction with the girls, but they didn't care.  When AG asked for a kiss, Anna said "I'll just blow you a kiss."





We headed over to the People Mover, but it looked like it was down.  So we went on the Carousel of Progress. AG was scared at times because of the darkness. Brooke really enjoyed it.

There was no line for the People Mover when we checker, so the girls and I rode while Trey rode Space Mountain. It was so much fun to ride at night. We decided to head towards the exit at that point. We noticed there was no wait for Tinkerbell, so we stopped for pictures.


By the time we finished with Tinkerbell, the fireworks were wrapping up. So we were in a crowd leaving. It was a long day, but definitely worth it.
