The Most Magical Place On Earth - Part 2

The next day of our Disney trip, I ended up taking both kids to Magic Kingdom by myself.  Not what I had planned, but Andy was swamped with homework for his grad classes and needed the day to get some done or he'd be too far behind.  Thankfully I know my way around that park like the back of my hand.  I was shocked at the lack of long lines (not that I'm complaining!).  I expected Labor day to be more crowded at least with locals.  We walked right on almost every ride including Peter Pan and It's A Small World!

Magic Kingdom Highlights:

~Showing Kendall Cinderella's castle in person.  We walked through the castle to get to Fantasyland and she got to see the story in the tiles on the walls.  That was magical for her!

~How terrified Kendall would be over the Snow White ride!  She still won't read her Snow White book even being home for an entire week!  She puts the book back in her drawer when it's out!

~Meeting more princesses including Cinderella and Tiana, Mickey, Minnie, Peter Pan (the only one Kendall refused to greet), Chip N Dale, Buzz Lightyear, etc.

~Riley riding Big Thunder Mountain Railroad all by himself!  I was not allowed to accompany him through the line because Kendall was too small so I fast passed it for him and he did it by himself!  It's his favorite ride in all of Magic Kingdom and thankfully he was very familiar with it.

~How well behaved BOTH kids were for me that day!  Riley was super helpful all day and earned himself some extra bucks to spend at WDW!

"It's really Cinderella's castle!"

A classic favorite of Kendall's

The Mad Hatter's Tea Cup ride

Finding Buzz Lightyear outside of the Toy Story ride

Chip N Dale were in Tomorrowland too!

The only character Kendall wouldn't greet - little did she know he's Tinkerbell's best friend!

Having fun on Aladdin's magic carpet ride

Pirate Goofy was the best part of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride for Kendall

Found Donald in Frontierland

Tiana was in a little gazebo near Liberty Square - we found her by accident but thrilled with the chance to meet her!

We hunted long and hard to find Cinderella!  Caught up with her & her friends in the Main Street area.

A prince has to see the princesses too!

She couldn't wait to show Minnie her dress!  She loves being twins!

My favorite picture of the trip!

I am so thankful the kids were well behaved and were very helpful with I was navigating the park solo.  I was also thankful for little to no lines so I wasn't waiting for rides with two hot, cranky, tired kids by myself!  We had a great time and wished Andy could have joined us!
