After Chef Mickey breakfast, we packed our bags for a day at Magic Kingdom. When we entered the park, we decided to go clockwise around the place and that meant we started at Adventureland, which turned out to be Ward's favorite place. It started with an amazing Swiss Family Robinson tree house. Ward led the way through the tree and we had a hard time keeping up!
Also in Adventureland there is a safari boat ride that I took the kids on while Ted had to take a call for work. It was a nice break and it was pretty silly. We met up with Ted and went on another ride in a boat, but this one was a little scary (esp. for Ann Park) - Pirates of the Caribbean. There is a little fast part at the end and there are times in the dark that she didn't like. Ward loved it, of course.
After Adventureland, Ann Park and I skipped Frontierland (that is where Splash Mountain is loacted, but it was closed for repair and WAY too cold to think about getting wet) and headed back to Fantasyland for Peter Pan (her favorite ride). Ward and Ted stayed in Frontierland for a little while without us girls and took Tom Sawyer's riverboat ride. (As an aside, any ride that had a boat, Ward wanted in - funny how boring something could seem to us and he just loved it - more on that in Epcot.) They stopped in a cool frontier town where Ward found a shooting house and guns. He was in heaven.
Ward and Ann Park met us in Fantasyland for lunch and more rides - Peter Pan (we did this twice thanks to the FastPass - the line was 55 minutes!), It's a Small World, Dumbo, the carousel, and Mickey's Philharmonic. Then it was off to Toon Town, where Mickey and Minnie live and where there is a baby rollercoaster, Goofy's Barnyard Adventure. Ann Park was too scared to ride, but Ward braved it, even if he was a little scared at some points. The picture of a fast part didn't really turn out but it still shows how serious he got!
(this was going up the rollercoaster)(and this was going down!)
Finally, we headed to the last part of the Magic Kingdom, Futureland. Ward's favorite ride was here - Buzz Lightyear. They also both got to drive cars on a race track which they both really liked.
By this point in the afternoon, it was pretty warm and they were pretty tired. It was about 4 and we decided to head back to the hotel for a swim in the pool and a little rest before dinner. But on the way out, we had to go back and get their prizes for the day. We headed back to Adventureland for Ward to get a pirate's gun from Pirates of the Caribbean ride, and we splurged on Main Street for Ann Park and got her a princess dress. I just could not resist - Ariel!
Friday we headed to Epcot. But that is for another post . . . I am tired, aren't you?
