For only one day at disney we got to see more than we imagined. Thanks to arriving early or right at opening, we were able to rush to tomorrow land to get two quick rides on buzz lightyear, Zachary's favorite
Kyle and Isabella ride space mountain while my mom and I took the other kids to Monsters inc laugh floor. We also got 1st in line to see buzz lightyear!
From there we went to the tea cups and saw Alice. The wait for Alice was pretty long (20 minutes maybe) so I took 3 kids on the tea cups while Kyle and zach waited.
After meeting Alice we rode it's a small world. I will never forget the look on Vincent's face as we rode through the boat. He was in total amazement! Thankfully it was nice and cool in there and then headed for lunch at cosmic rays cafe. Cosmic rays had a beautiful view of the castle and as we were finishing lunch we noticed the character parade on Main Street, so we had to rush down to the parade to join in a dance party with Minnie!
Next we headed to get a few fast passes and at the end of the day we were able to check out the Swiss family Robinson tree house, ride pirates of the carribean, the magic carpet ride, mickeys haunted mansion, the tiki room, mickeys philharmonic, a pirate show with jack sparrow, the hall of presidents, the carousel (twice) and the jungle cruise. Not too bad!
We ate dinner somewhere in there and got an ice cream treat. Then headed to the electric parade and wishes fireworks show...possibly my favorite part. The kids were exhausted by the time of the parade but perked up for the fireworks! Then we headed over to finish out the night with one more run on buzz lightyear as most of the crowds were heading for the gate.
It was a long day but the kids will hopefully never forget it..at least zach and Isabella!
On the way home from Florida I asked each kid about their favorite parts of the disney experience...
