Magic Kingdom

Yestarday's late night of fire works and casual wake up this morning made for a slow start today, we miss our first fast pass for Splash Mountain. I didn't feel like getting wet this early today.


Once we made it to Magic Kingdom today we discovered a substitute for missing Splash Mounting, the Dapper Dans, dressed in their pinstriped attire and singing barber shop quartet style songs.


The crowds were starting to form and it was now time for our lunch reservation at Tony's Restaraunt, we really haven't done much today, but we planned for a late day so we could see the fire works later. The last time we were at Magic Kingdom I noticed Tony's (next to Main Street Theater) and thought we should try it. The food was good but I thought it was rather over priced for spaghetti, even for Disney World.

 

After our delicious lunch we started to walk down Main Street as we noticed a line of marching bands heading towards us, what a nice surprise!


We stopped off in Adventure Land so the kids could do the Pirate Adventure, its similar to Epcot's Agent P, you find clues on the provided map, go to the location of the treasure check, wave your magic band over the lock and some secret animate thing happens among the back drop of the park. This took us about thirty-minutes to find all the clues and see all the animations. As we're leaving Adventure Land, we noticed it was parade time, so we found a spot to watch the Festival of Fantasy Parade.

 

 

 

Its time for our Space Mountain fast pass, Amber swears she's going to do it this time, off we go with a few distractions.


 

Mountain ride one done, now its time to dash over to Big Thunder Mountain and hopefully cap off the trifecta with Splash Mountain (our early missed fast pass).

(waiting in line at the haunted mansion)

Around 8:30 we introduced the kids to the Dream Light Dessert party, a reservation only event next to Tomorrowland Terrace which serves a dessert buffet and awesome seating to view the fireworks show, this is the only way to view the fireworks.



After the fireworks were over, most folks were leaving the park, at least the ones with little kids. We were going to stretch the limits and close the park down with our kids and pay for it tomorrow I'm sure.

 
(I guess we kept them out too late tonight)

Travel Note
Mason was relishing his new iPhone a little too much during this trip and eating Brenda's data minutes.
