Disneyworld-Day 2

This is Layne trying to not look at the princesses.

On Saturday, we got to the Magic Kingdom around 8:45. We slept in because it did not open until 9. We got to see the last of the opening ceremony. We took several pictures while walking on Main Street and the kids began to get pretty annoyed with all of the picture taking, so we immediately went to some games (that’s what Layne calls all of the rides).

We rode a few rides and then had to go to Ariel’s grotto to see Ariel. Ariel was one of Anna’s favorite princesses when she was 3-4 years old. Her four year birthday party was Ariel. Anna was very timid about meeting all of her favorite characters. She is usually very talkative and full of energy, but would get shy with the princesses. After a meeting with Ariel, it was off to Toontown to meet some more princesses. We were very fortunate this day b/c we did not have to wait long at all for any of the attractions (this was the case for the entire trip).

Around 1:30, we left the Magic Kingdom and went back to our resort for a rest. The kids took a short nap and then we were off to dinner at the Grand Floridian resort for dinner with Cinderella and her friends. We met Cinderella, Prince Charming, the step-mother, and the step-sisters. Layne was too funny during the dinner. Anytime a character would approach our table he would immediately look the other way and pretend he was doing something else. He would not even make eye contact.

After dinner we went back to the Magic Kingdom. Anna & Layne got to ride in the front car of the monorail (which Layne called it the mermail). We then hit Fontierland and rode Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. About ¾ of the way through the roller coaster, Anna starts screaming “I changed my mind!”. Of course now she denies that statement.

That night we watched “Spectromagic” parade and “Wishes” the fireworks show.

In Tomorrowland, we rode the Indy Speedway (Layne’s favorite), Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin, Tomorrowland Transit Authority, and saw the show Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor. Ken & Layne rode Space Mountain. I think it was a little too dark for Layne.

In Fantasyland, we rode, Peter Pan’s flight, Cinderella’s Carrousel, Dumbo, Snow White’s Scary Adventure, and saw Mickey’s PhilharMagic. We also rode Goofy’s Barnstormer roller coaster. As you can see, we had a very packed day. We got back to our room around 10:45pm.
