Disney Day 2-Magic Kingdom

 We let the kids sleep a little later because they were exhausted from our first day. When we all got ready we headed back to the Magic Kingdom to do our most favorite things from the day before.  We got there just in time for another parade. The kids loved all the parades and it was about the only time we got to see all the characters in one spot!

Tip: Allow at least 2 days for Magic Kingdom...so much to do and see.



Waving to the characters...so cute!

 We walked through the castle, something that we did not do the first day. I wish that you got to see more of it! It would be cool to see some of the rooms in there.

We headed to the carousel, because we noticed when we passed by there wasn't a long wait and we had a little time to kill before our next fast pass.



Tea Cups...one of the favorites.



Meeting Tigger and Pooh...Tigger was playing around with Mason's hair, running his paws all through it.

Pirates of the Caribbean was closed while we were there but we got to meet Pirate Goofy! Mason was all about meeting the characters! Something I thought he wouldn't be into.

Magic Carpet Ride

We rested our feet awhile and watched the Dream Along with Mickey show. Another opportunity to see all the characters together.

This face says it all...my favorite picture! Riding on Dumbo.

Beautiful castle at night. It changed colors every few minutes



We ate dinner here at Casey's Corner. Yummy Hot dogs. It was a "take me out to the ballgame" theme. Perfect for the boys.

Tip: Dining Plan is a must. Our plan consisted of 2 meals and 1 snack a day. We would have spent so much money on food had we not had this plan.



After dinner we took advantage of the short wait times and less crowd.

Tip: During the electrical parade and firework show the crowds are slim and there is little to no wait times. Another reason to do this park more than one day.

We did Splash Mountain about 6 times in a row...that was such a fun ride. I wish I had taken all the pics of us on the ride. We all had a chance of riding that front row seat and getting wet!



This night offered the Disney Magic hours until 3 a.m.  We had every intention of sticking it out but one ride on the People Mover and we were DONE! That was a nice relaxing ride around Tomorrowland and much better than we expected. The kids were starting to fizzle. We had done all the rides several times and were fine with heading out a little early or late however you want to look at it. (2 a.m.) Shea and I discussed several mornings about how we felt like we had been partying all night. Our eyes were all red and swollen in the mornings. It was all worth it considering the difference in the park late at night. It was so peaceful and calm, no crowds to drag the kids through, and the weather was nice and cool. 
All the kids passed out on the bus for the ride back to the resort. We rested for a few hours (it felt like only a few) and we were back up and ready for our new adventure.

Tip: Stay on Disney properties...they have many resorts of all different price ranges to choose from. This way you get to use the park at special hours that others do not. Well worth it!! There are also other perks that come with it as well. We stayed at one of the value resorts and it was everything we needed. We were only there for a short time at night so it was perfect.
