First, I want to see a show of hands for people who are cray-cray and are going to waste 6 plus hours of their life waiting on a princess?? I have heard of WAY too many people doing this. WTH?! Anna and Elsa-I mean yeah I teared up a little at the pure joy of my daughter meeting them and have felt very accomplished when other characters and attendants see we do have the autograph of them..and we only waited a short time. But come on y'all... More than a 30 minutes wait ain't worth it. That's just me maybe.. I'll move on.
Day One at Magic Kingdom we got there 30 minutes before opening and went straight to Anna and Elsa. No fast pass we waited 20 minutes-success!! Then we moved on through our 3 fast passes. We picked Space Mountain-awesome! Pirates of the Caribbean-closed=not awesome and Monsters Inc laugh-very mediocre... Then we fit a few rides here and there and lunchtime we were ready to go home.."hangey" we were and hotter than hates we decided to take a break. This is where everything didn't go so well ...we came home and ate made all the kids take a nap and then it started raining..not the 2 hour fast moving Florida rain.. More like a typhoon..it never let up and actually intensified though the night.. So magic was short lived that day. We went out to eat and then I pretended I was going to "read" and never actually opened my book and it was only 10pm. You should try that trick... Works every time. :-)
Day two-we understood the whole fast pass thing and the lunch/snack/heat thing. We went to Animal kingdom. Many people told me this wasn't a good choice but for us it was one of the best days! Animal kingdom is very shaded, the Lion King show it amazing, we rode all the rides and also saw the Nemo show which was pretty cute too. It was a good day!
Day 3 we headed to Sugarmill where you get to make your own pancakes. Besides the fact it was hot, hot, hot in there with all the skillets on, it was delish and a very fun experience. It's located on a state park that has a really cool natural spring pool that the kids had a blast in. After all you can eat pancakes it was only appropriate to go to the beach and be beached whales for the day.
This night Corey and I got a date. We went to Downtown Disney. We ate appetizers and had a beer at Ragland Road Irish Pub. This place was great, food was delish, beer was cold and there was constant entertainment-band, dancers and music. Fun time! Thanks Boo, Pops, Chad for keeping the kiddos!
Day 4 was back to Magic Kingdom where we walked and walked and walked and made up for our short day on Monday. We walked 12 miles that day..aye yai yai! Kids held up fairly well and it is truely a magical place!
Day 5 we went to blizzard beach for a few water slides and a more low key day and then afternoon by the pool.
Day 6 downtown Disney followed by a loooong wait at the airport for a flight that keeps getting delayed-boo!
