Magic Kingdom

The day after Hollywood Studios, we went to the Magic Kingdom.  This time Kyle and Jessica and their 4-week old baby, Taegan, as well as Grandma Cindi accompanied us.  It was a great day.  Taegan was so good and once again we got to mix it up a little bit and try things we hadn't done before.  We went on the People Mover on Grandma's recommendation, and everyone liked it enough that we went on it again later.  Also, we rode the train this time, which we've never done before.

All of us on the ferry ride over

Just ready to enter the Magic Kingdom...their new theme: Let the Memories Begin

Our first ride: Buzz Lightyear


Eric is always the high scorer on this one.  He got over 100,000 points.:)

Alex and Jarem on the People Mover




Grandma packed a delicious lunch for all of us and here she is holding Taegan during our lunch break


Alex and his free fast passes
We went on Space Mountain and the person who did the final seatbelt check handed Alex 6 fastpasses for any ride in the Magic Kingdom because he was wearing an Oregon Ducks hat and the guy was from Oregon.  Score!




View of Tomorrowland at dusk
We were about to go back to the house and eat around dusk, but Grandma was having such a good time that she convinced us all to stay. :)  We stayed and ate at one of the counter service places, which was good, and then enjoyed some line-free rides.  The park was open till midnight.  Grandma, Kyle, Jessica, and Taegan went back around 11pm because Taegan was done for the day.  We stayed and went on another ride and then got the funnel cakes we'd been looking forward to all day.  It was the first time I've had strawberries and whipped cream on a funnel cake.  It was delicious!  The funnel cake line was backed up though, so while Eric waited in line, the kids and I sat on the curb and watched the electric lighted night parade.  It was a great view and I was glad we got to work that in right at the end.  After the parade and funnel cakes, we were too tired to go back to the house for our clothes, so we checked into our room at Shades of Green and just slept in our clothes.  Everyone was asleep in an instant.

That funnel cake looked delicious! Looks like you had another fun day! I love all of Alex's funny faces :) The people mover is a nice, relaxing ride. After walking around all day it's kind of nice to just sit and relax!
