Magic Kingdom

Monday was Magic Kingdom day. We got up and headed to the bus stop.
Then got on the boat and made it to this magical place First things first - a picture in front of the castleWe've heard that Fantasyland gets pretty crowded, so we headed to our 1st ride of the day.

DUMBO!This has been the ride Ellie has talked about for months. We have a book about Disney World & the Dumbo ride was on the front, so she knew she had to ride it.
Evan was having fun up in the sky








Charlotte rode most of the rides with Michelle, so she was happy!


This was Charlotte's favorite ride - It's a Small World. She danced to the music the entire ride.
We rode all the rides in Fantasyland and Evan's favorite was Peter Pan because of the crocodile. They were not fans of the Snow White ride, but loved the 4-D movie at Mickey's PhilharMagic.







The carousel was also a favoriteEllie got to ride with Michelle Mommy & Charlotte






The famous tea cups

Don't let all the smiles fool you. The trip was definitely stressful. Michelle caught a great shot of Matthew telling me something, me giving him the evil eye and Ellie crying. That sums it up.The kids usually sleep until 9:00am at home and they were waking up around 7:30am in the camper. Needless to say they were cranky sometimes. Today happened to be one of those days. Sometimes Disney World is Not the Happiest Place on Earth. We went back to the camper for lunch and a nap. While they were napping Michelle and I decided to go see some Christmas decorations at other resorts. That quick trip took us about 3 hours thanks to all the transportation changes we made.
This gingerbread gazebo was at the Boardwalk Inn The Beach Club had this gingerbread carousel








We headed back to MK at the wrong time. It was during the night time parade so it was crowded. We tried to make our way out of the crowd, but got stuck watching another show because this stroller wasn't getting anywhere.


We finally got out of the crowd waiting for the fireworks and headed to see some fairies.
Evan & Tinkerbell The girls were in heaven
We rode the Jungle Cruise and the Magic carpets of Aladdin. They really enjoyed the Prates of the Caribbean. We then went to the Haunted mansion for the last ride of the night. The ride stopped 2 times while we were on it. The bad thing is the cars stop but the music and the characters still move. The last time it stopped we were in the cemetery. Ellie & Matthew got stopped right in front of a ghost jumping out from behind a grave. This lasted for about 2 minutes. Poor Ellie was behind Matthew's back. She still talks about that ghost.



We walked through Cinderella's Castle
