Magic Kingdom- Day 2

After our first day at Magic Kingdom, this post is going to seem a little anti-climactic. But as I have already said, we spent our first day, like there was no tomorrow. So our second day was a little more simple. We spent our day re-experiencing our favorites for a second (or third) time and seeing the few things we missed the first day.

After Be Our Guest, we used our double- fast passes (that we picked up earlier) to ride The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and Dumbo!

Then all five of us rode Barnstormer together.


Barnstormer was Anna's first roller-coaster experience. She rode it with her Daddy. Overall, it went pretty well.  She wasn't the biggest fan of it, but wasn't terribly scared either!  She did better than Jillian did on her first roller coaster, but not nearly as well as Faith did (Faith laughed the entire time, she was exuberant with joy!). :-)  

It was the warmest day of all days we were at Disney World. So the girls loved spending a little time in the Casey Jr. Splash 'N' Soak Station.

Then, we rode Anna's beloved (can't you tell by her face?) Mad Tea Party!

Even when we looked at this picture, she said to me, "Momma, I sad.  I want to do it by myself!"  She wanted to do all the turning by herself with no help from her big sisters.


Then, we went to see Mickey's PhilharMagic, a 3D Movie experience. Both Brad and I agreed that of all the 3D films we saw at Disney World this was by far the best experience!! Our only regret was that it wasn't higher priority on our list for our first day. We would have loved to see it on both days!

A Review of PhilharMagic

"The show brings you on a magical trip through many of your favorite Disney films. In hot pursuit of his runaway "prize", Donald is asked to "Be Our Guest" by Lumiere (Beauty and the Beast), washed away by brooms (Fantasia), joins Ariel under the sea wishing she could be "Part Of That World". He flies high above London with Peter Pan and Tinker Bell, sees that Simba "Just Can’t Wait To Be King", and led by Aladdin and Jasmine on a Magic Carpet Ride through a "Whole New World" before Mickey saves the day."

Then we rode on Prince Charming's Regal Carousel.

Then we ventured onto Adventureland for our afternoon snack. Faith and Anna had a pineapple float, Jillian had plain ice-cream, and Brad and I both had a coke float from Aloha Isle!

While we were finishing our snack, Brad ran to nearby Thunder Mountain to get fast passes. The fast pass machine wasn't working at the time, so the cast member at the ride gave Brad complimentary fast passes! Which meant, we still had our tickets to get fast passes for another ride!  So, when Brad came back, it was my turn to make the run. I made my way to Space Mountain for fast passes!  

We met up at the Hall of Presidents!  Here is Brad showing off all eight of our fast passes!  While we waited, the girls enjoyed looking at all the presidential memorabilia and the presentation was excellent! 

Then, I rode Space Mountain with Jillian!

After our ride, we saw a funny clown show in Fantasyland on our way to Frontierland!

Then, Brad, Jillian, and Faith rode Big Thunder Mountain together.

The on-line predictions of which day would be a "red" or "green" day were right on! We saw at least a half-a-dozen groups of these girls....


and this is other half of their one group!   All I can say is I can not imagine what Disney is like when it is not "off" season! It was a super busy day. 

Then, we enjoyed a little traditional, country music from home before it was time for dinner!
