Magic Kingdom is Magical!!

We had a blast!! You have to keep in mind that we have to be careful not to over do it with Katie - especially in the heat and it was SOOO hot today. It was like 92 - but at least it was breezy.

We actually took a cab to Magic Kingdom from the hotel because the line was maybe 4 bus loads long and it was already 10am and the buses only run every 20 minutes.

It ended up being a pretty neat thing to do because the cab dropped us off at the ferry and monorail launch so we took the ferry. Very neat way to approach the park.

We did so much more today at Magic Kingdom than we did last year. Last year was truly magical because Katie got to go inside Cinderella's castle and meet all the princesses and princes... but we did A LOT today.



We started off in Tomorrowland riding the Astro Orbitor, which Katie loves because she's flying an airplane. Then we did Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, which Don and Katie love doing together. Then we hit the Monster's Inc Laugh Floor - it was hilarious - we all laughed and had a great time. Then, Stitch's Great Escape (don't bother).

Before leaving Tomorrowland, we had to hit the Indy Speedway, where Katie again, gave me whiplash and enjoyed every minute of it. We did this twice - without having to get off. I love DISNEY! They are great to people with disabilities.



Then we started making our way to other areas of the park and we came across the horse drawn trolley. Katie wanted to go see the horse, of course. You know she doesn't get nearly enough interaction with horses in her every day life...

Well, the lady working with the horse told Katie that she couldn't touch the horse because he was working. After talking to Katie for two minutes, she was letting Katie touch the horse and act like she was driving the trolley. It was a beautiful Percheron Draft. Katie just has a way of touching peoples hearts.




We stopped and had a nice lunch at Liberty Tree Tavern and then headed off and did the Pirates of the Carribean, Big Thunder Mountain 2x, It's A Small World, Peter Pan's Flight, Mickey's Philharmagic and then Dumbo. Lastly, we did Snow White's Scary Adventure, which Katie loved and we did it twice. Probably nightmares will ensue tonight!

Here are a few pics from the day!!








It seems as though we are heading back to Animal Kingdom tomorrow to focus on the other side of the park. The safari, the jungle walk, the petting zoo, the Lion King show, etc. It's suppose to be 93 and very humid and at least Animal Kingdom is almost all shade.

More tomorrow...
