Disney World (M&P Visit Part V)

After a 6:30 wake-up call from Mickey Mouse we were ready to visit the Magic Kingdom in Disney World. To summarize what a great trip we ALL had, I will say this: The weather was PERFECT, the crowd was minimal and the lines were NOTHING. It had been almost 20 years since Mimi and Papa had been to Disney World, 9 years since Rico and I had been to Disney World and this was Avery's 1st trip to Disney. We arrived at the park right when it opened and stayed until 7:00 at night. We each had a map of the park and knew exactly where we wanted to go and what we wanted to do. At the end of the day we all agreed that we felt like we saw EVERYTHING we wanted to see and definately got our moneys worth. I will do my best to recap what photos are what, based on my memory.


We have arrived at Disney World and are waiting to take the ferry across the water to the Magic Kingdom.
On the ferry............Magic Kingdom, here we come!!!

Still seated, but as we got closer we were all standing up and anxious to get the party started.

We can see Cinderella's castle.....we are getting closer!!!

Inside the Magic Kingdom. Mimi, Rico, Avery and I pose before we hit the ground running.

There it is, Cinderella's Castle. Rylie, this picture's for you. Oh, to be a kid again!!!

The first ride of the day: Dumbo, the flying elephant. Avery LOVED this one!!!

Watching a Dancing Show that took place right in front of Cinderella's Castle

What a great show it was!!! I just wonder how many times a week they do this SAME dance?

All the characters are out for the finale.

Mimi and Avery take a snack break while Papa and Daddy visit the Hall of Presidents.

Mimi, Avery and I watch the Singing Country Bear Show.

Waiting in line at the Pirates of the Carribean Ride

Um, can't remember what ride this was......

Same ride, different pose.

Riding the rollercoaster at Goofy's wiseacre farm. This rollercoaster was too fast for mommy. As for Avery and Daddy......they LOVED it!!!

I sat in the rollercoaster car right behind Avery and Daddy, so I got some action shots.

Riding the train around the Magic Kingdom. Such a nice way to relax and take it all in.

Another ride that was very similar to the train, but a bit faster.

This picture deserves an entire blog post of its own. In fact, I will work on that soon. In the meantime, I will just say "Avery is sharing Kiki with Mimi."

This next one was a very cool ride....perhaps one of our favorites.....as for the name of the ride....Ill get back to you on that......

The end of the day, finishing our souvenier shopping, potty break, then it's time to head home. While Avery waits on us he is entertained by a lady with rings on Main Street.

Whew, what a great day. Time to head back to the resort. We had an awesome time and these will be memories we always remember. Thanks for such a good time Mickey Mouse.
