Day 1: Magic Kingdom

On Sunday, we headed to the Magic Kingdom, but were a hour later arriving than we planned because of a marathon that was held that morning (note to self: from our resort, take the ferry instead of the buses to the Magic Kingdom). We did make our reservation (a little late) at the Crystal Palace and had breakfast with Pooh and Friends. Then we headed to Fantasy Land for the kids and made sure we took full advantage of the fastpass system. Some of the kids' favorite rides included Winnie the Pooh, Peter Plan Flight, and Snow White's Adventure (a little scary for AGB, but she still liked it). However, she did not like Philharmagic, which I love, but the 3-D effect was a little much for her. We did manage to get in a few rides ourselves on Splash Mountain and the Thunder Mountain Railroad. The kids absolutely loved the Jungle Cruise (see AGB's picture below)--I think that this was probably one of the best attractions for our family riding together. The kids also really liked the show at Cinderella's castle (well, Caleb actually fell asleep, but AGB loved it), and they loved the Dream Come True parade too. In fact, some of AGB's favorite parts about the trip were the parades and getting a balloon! On our way out, Caleb had his first haircut, Disney style, which I will show pics of in my next post. After our fun day, we headed back to our resort for some yummy BBQ at the Whispering Canyon. Then, we took a little trip to Downtown Disney to get AGB a princess dress for her upcoming princess breakfast. She chose a Snow White dress and just loved it!

These are pictures from our breakfast at the Crystal Palace.

Caleb is already used to this character thing!

What was Caleb's favorite part about Disney? The birds! I don't know how many times you would hear Caleb saying, "Bird! Bird!"

Abby Grace was just thrilled to get a balloon!

Mommy had to have a picture with the Little Mermaid too!
