Florida Five Day Mini Series - Day 4 - Magic Kingdom!

This was the kids reluctant effort to get ready after I woke them up to tell them we had another day at Disney........Just five more minutes both of them said......bless their hearts!



Eventually they pulled up their boot straps.....when they realized we were off to Magic Kingdom for another day! And when I say a WHOLE day I mean a whole day. When we checked it we had a lovely lady tell us that it was a special night and they were extending the hours until 11 pm tonight, not 10pm as expected.....Brooke's eyes went wide and was all smiles ....Our little night owl. Here are the turkey balls heading into the park.


Happy to wait in the shade while Dad went to go get a stroller, remember that picture in the bed.....We thought we would get a few places faster with a little assistance today!


This was the first ride, Slash Mountain, and the kids loved it......Most would save the water rides for the afternoon to cool off - well 10 am we were ready to get wet (recall temperature report from earlier) We went on it continuously to cool down, it was also one of the kids favorites!

We couldn't resist...... when you look at their faces you would think that we forced them into it but both of them jumped off and screamed that was AWESOME! I love that Brady looks like he is holding on for dear life!!


Jungle Cruise with my boy...

Brooke thought the tour guide was hilarious.

One of the many sights on the tour...


Dad and the kids enjoying "sitting"
The kids watching the magic happen on the flying carpets......so stupid I couldn't exclude it!


The castle. Brooke was so funny, she would say things like "its just so impressive" "It really is beautiful" but then I would ask her do you want to go meet some of the princesses she would just go "nahhhh......"
We hit the parades....


enjoyed the landscaping...


They loved the Buzz Lightyear ride.......

Dad and Brady shooting away!

Locked up in Jail.

Dad and the kiddos....


It was fun to capture all their looks of wonder and shock on the different rides....my favorite was during the Monsters Inc. comedy show, where Chris was picked to be on the big screen and part of the comedy show.......They couldn't believe it.

Again back to Buzz - they couldn't get enough of it....

Disney and the Munsons.
The castle starting to light up for the night time festivities.


Brooke still bright eyed and bushy tailed.
Brady taking in the electrical parade......he goes like this "Seriously who comes up with all these great ideas?" .....I guess the answer is a man named Walt.


The lights and production were out of this world!





Disney at Night.
Everything was decorated for Halloween, it was like you walked into a pumpkin patch! And I have to tell you we are on our way to do some souvenir shopping because of this little ditty.....

Dad wanted to go back to the haunted mansion to ride at night - Brooke decided to stay out with me so she was asking me what I wished for during the shooting star during the parade and I told her that I wished that we could take another family vacation again soon. So keeping with the conversation I asked her "what did you wish for?" and this swear to God was her response. "Well my wish already came true about 7 years ago?" "It did, what was that?" "To get the best parents ever!" Now I know it was sweet and I should have been standing there with tears in my eyes and my shoulders shaking from crying as the magic of Disney was falling on us......However I smiled and said that was nice and then I waited for it............it took about 2 minutes........"Hey best mom in the world....don't you think it would be great to go to Main street next on our way out and buy a souvenir to remember this by?" And there it is......sweet but well thought out. Kudos to you Brooklyn, so we went shopping just for the fact that she was sooooooo smooth in her delivery!
