Magic Kingdom

Our second full day was our busiest.  We were off to the Magic Kingdom at 8:00 am

Waiting for the monorail.




Here we go....the lines were not that bad.  They do have a FastPass system which is free where you get a ticket telling you when to come back to ride the ride so you do not have to wait, but we didn't really use it too much, maybe on two rides.  Getting there early is key, see how empty the park looks?












We each took one kid on this racecar ride.  Lucas got to steer as I pressed on the gas.  There was a middle track that the car always stayed on, so Lucas could "drive" all he wanted and we were safe.




The Buzz Lightyear ride was one that we did ue the FastPass on.  The wait was 90 minutes, but we used the FastPass and waited 5 minutes instead.  Here's Felix and Liliana battling us...





I think we were supposed to be hitting these monsters instead....



Around 2 pm, everyone was beat, so we opted for the ferry boat back to the parking lot (instead of the monorail-much more stroller friendly)



We had lunch and a quick nap and then we were up and ready to go back for more rides, the parade and fireworks!


Cinderella's castle kept changing color at night and Liliana just LOVED that!

 Below are some of the professional pictures that the Disney Staff took of us at the park...



















We stayed for the parade.  I put together a short video to music of the parade and the twins have been watching it a lot since we have been home.  For some reason it won't load here...but it was a fantastic parade.


After the parade, we rode It's A Small World one more time (tune in for the next post Nana) and then went back to Main Street for the fireworks.  Fireworks were one of the few things I chose not to video or photograph.  I made a concious decision to put down the camera, hoist Liliana up on my shoulders and enjoy the music, the fireworks and Tinkerbell flying through the air as my little girl marveled at the magic of it all.  Some things are just better as a memory.
