A Day in the Magic Kingdom!

What ride do you ride first in the Magic Kingdom? We usually end up at Space Mt! Or we go and get Fast Passes for it then ride Buzz or TTA. Either way, we usually end up in Tomorrow Land first. What about you? I know several people that say Adventure Land first! Not my family! Anyway, we always have a great time in the MK! Here are some of the daytime pictures :-)

 First thing in the morning, outside the train station.  So beautiful!

 The master of ceremonies, opening of the Magic Kingdom.  Have you ever seen the opening show? It is fun!

 Here is the train, bringing all the characters into view!

 And here is Mickey!

 A countdown, and Boom, the MK is officially open!

 While Tyler and Zach went to get Fast Passes for Space Mt., we ducked in to See Mickey & Minnie at their new location. 

 Carrie, Amelia, and AJ

 Conrad and Donna

 The group of us!

 I believe for the 40th birthday celebration, MK has the Move It Shake It mini parade.  This was a lot of fun, the birthday floats come down Mainstreet, circle the castle and then the characters get off and dance with the guests!  Reminds me of Block Party Bash at HWS a few years back!

 Here you can see my awesome hair ribbon I got from Flip-a-roos.com!

 Yes, I got to dance with Mr. Incredible!  AJ and Conrad were to shy to come dance!

 The funny thing through out this trip, even though we split up our group, we kept running into each other!  Here, we are getting onto TTA, as Tyler and Zach are getting off!

 We couldn't resist!  Since our T's show Goofy trying to eat a Mickey ice cream, we just had to do it!!!!

 And yes, Conrad's piece did go SPLAT! Although AJ didn't get that picture!

 Here are some of the Photopass photos with Mickey and Minnie!

 They really liked my skirt!

 When you purchase the photo CD, they throw on extra photos of the Characters!  I love this!

I did learn that if you pre-purchase the photo CD at the park before you leave you get an extra CD of 500 stock photos, and then you edit your photos online when you get home. That is how I got to put borders and signatures on the photos. Then you order your CD and they ship it to you. I always plan to buy the CD, so I go around the parks, looking for the photo pass photographers! We had 130 photos when we were done with our trip! The castmember in the photo shop was most impressed!

Hope you like our day in the MK! Tell me about yours.

The Rest of the Stories.....

Friends and readers, the rest of the Disney stories will be coming, I promise!  I've just been busy with my Mom in the hospital and getting kids lined out in school. Wow, middle schoolers have a lot of homework!

Also, I've been having computer connectivity problems and then I tried updated blogger! Don't do it if you write a blog!!! I spent 2+ hours working on a blog with lots of pictures of Disney, and LOST everything! My heart was crushed ::sigh::

When I'm sure AT&T has my connections at 100%, and I have time to upload pics for blogging, I will finishing telling all the tales of all the fun we had in Disney in August, yes there is more to tell :-0

Happy almost fall!

Magic Kingdom, E Night!!

The Magic Kingdom is probably my favorite park, it is a tie with Hollywood Studios! I know, everyone loves MK. I rate the parks: MK, HWS, AK, then EPCOT!!! Now, do you know what E night is? "E" night is Extra Magic Hours for guests staying on sight, staying in a Disney Hotel. This is a definite advantage. Some mornings parks will open 1 hour early, and some nights parks will stay open 2-3 hours longer! This means wait times are shorter for the rides, the park is not as full, and at night, the sun is NOT beating down on you! So, in the summer, when the MK normally closes at midnight, "E" night got us an additional 3 hours. Yes, we got to stay in the park until 3 AM if we wanted to!!

How would one do this you ask? Well, quite simply a nap during the heat of the day is just about a requirement. After going to EPCOT during the morning and afternoon, everyone headed back to the condo and rested. The boys might have taken in a short swim, not sure, then everyone crashed! Dinner was sandwiches and chips and by 7pm we were on the bus to the MK. Tonight's agenda, was FUN! Ride rides, let the group see WISHES and get a feel for the park. This was just our 1st day at the MK we had a week to cover the parks!

Here are pics of the fun:

Tomorrow Land Transit Authority, I remember when it was Webway people mover!

Remember when we use to talk to each other when we stood in line?!?

Zach loves Buzz!

 Ready to ride space mountain!

 Donna was so excited that she got to ride the teacups!

Fantasyland is expanding, Toontown is gone :-(

Ashley loves penguins!

I rode Aladdin backwards the entire time so I could take pictures!  Hope you all appreciate my endeavors!

 2:45 AM  Main St USA is getting empty!

 Wishes, out of order, but oh well!

I know I have been to the WDW many times, I think 14 now! But what I love about it is that every time I go I see something different, or I see the park through the eyes of someone else! Hope you like MK at night as much as I do.
