Magic Kingdom - Day 1 & 2

It was finally time for the big vacation!!!
Our flight left at 6:05 am - yikes!  The kids were so excited though they got up & ready to go without any encouragement!!  A short flight later & we were in Orlando!!  Flying was a definite plus for this vacation!

After getting checked into our resort we headed straight for Magic Kingdom!
Grandma, Caleb, Sarah & Grandpa


The weather was beautiful . . . clear sky all the way!


The kids enjoyed their first ice cream treat, of course shaped like Mickey Mouse.
It was delicious ice cream; I had to help Caleb so his wouldn't melt!!!


Shortly after we arrived, the Main Street Party was taking place . . .
it was our first Mickey Mouse sighting!
The kids were so excited!!

We used Disney transportation since we were staying at a Disney Resort.

The kids were enjoying some down time while waiting in line for a Winnie the Pooh ride.
This was the longest line we had the entire time at the park, about 30 minutes.
Thankfully there was plenty to keep them occupied!

This picture was taken on Tom Sawyer Island - a small, hands on discovery play area.


The whole family together . . .

My favorite (or at least one of my favorite) attractions was Mickey's Philharmagic.
It was a 3D movie about Donald Duck taking over Mickey's orchestra . . wonderful!
The kids enjoyed it as well as the adults!
We had breakfast on the second morning we were there so we got to enter the park about 30 minutes prior to opening, which turned out to be the greatest picture opportunity!  Look - - - it's just us in front of the Castle!!!
We had our first character meeting on the first day. . . Woody & Jessie from Toy Story!
The kids were so excited to see them - the kids dressed up as these two characters for Halloween!

Eeyore from our character breakfast

Even Grandpa & Uncle Jason got in on the fun of meeting the characters!

I think Sarah wanted to take Winnie the Pooh home with her!


Caleb & I were waiting for the Electrical Parade to begin - - - it was awesome!




And of course the fire works over the castle were really cool!  We got to see Tinker Bell fly from the castle as well!  It was a great way to end the second day of our vacation!
