Magic Kingdom Day

Day 2 was the Magic Kingdom! It started off beautiful when we arrived at the park around 9:30ish, but shortly afterwards the rain began to move in. Truthfully, I don't think that is really a bad thing - it is cooler and there don't tend to be nearly as many lines. Here is a peek at what Mickey Mouse had for us at his Magic Kingdom!

Braving the streets on Main Street (but we had to get a "castle" picture)
First Theme park ride EVER - the Tea Cups! Yes, we rode in a pink one - but who cares?
My plan was not to spin the wheel inside the cup - Thomas had other plans... as soon as the ride started, he tried with all of his little muscles to turn the wheel and get us spinning. Too funny!
Next up - some horsey time - the Big Carousel

OK... so we hadn't planned on going into any 3-D movie, but right before we went on the Winnie the Pooh ride (which was very cute), we grabbed a Fast Pass for the Mickey Movie. Didn't know if we were going to go in or not, but after the Pooh ride, it was pouring rain outside so we ran across the way and went inside. Here are my boys with their 3-D glasses. Thomas was not a big fan of the glasses, but he LOVED the movie. Keep in mind, he has never been to the movie theater, so this was huge for him! Definately a big hit with the toddler!
Taking a quick drink break
After several hours at Magic Kingdom, we knew we needed to call it a day. We headed back to the shuttle bus only to find more ducks... they seemed to be waiting in line with all of us and Thomas was tickled to death. Notice the big smile and laughing...
Just a few minutes later, we boarded the shuttle and this is what we happened...
After a 2.5 hour nap back at the room, we decided we needed to get going so we could catch the resort boat to Downtown Disney and get to our dinner reservations. Unfortunately, it was still raining and Thomas didn't have a rain jacket (I knew I forgot to pack something). So... Daddy designed a rain jacket...
... and he loved it. OK, OK, OK - I realize it is a trash bag (for small garbage cans), and it isn't that safe for kids to play with them, but it served a good purpose. Besides, doesn't he look cute?
Waiting for the boat ride
After dinner at Downtown Disney, we headed back home to the resort on the water shuttle and got to enjoy a beautiful sunset along the way.
Day 2 was another good day. Rain certainly didn't stop us from having a good time and Thomas enjoyed everything that he got to see & experience at Disney. Yeah!!!!! Day 2 = successful!
