Day 3: Magic Kingdom

On Tuesday, we woke up, got dressed in our matching shirts (ha!) and headed to Magic Kingdom early. 

Maddie loves Disney buses. It's so weird but it's one of her favorite things about going to Disney.

We were there 20 minutes before rope drop and wandered down Main Street. 

We took a few castle pictures.

We had a fun breakfast with Winnie the Pooh and Friends at Crystal Palace.

Sydney liked the characters...after a little bit. First she would arch her back away from them...

Then hide her head from them...

Then completely avoid them...

Then snuggle away from them...

Then, was totally down with the characters if she was being held a safe distance away! HAHA.

 What's hysterical though is that every time a character left she was mad and wanted them to come back.

After breakfast, Chris and I rode Big Thunder Mountain.

We played in the line at Haunted Mansion.

Ran into Woody and Jesse outside Splash Mountain.

Then, made our way to Fantasy Lane for It's a Small World!


We rode Cinderella's Regal Carousel.

We rode Little Mermaid and took some pictures outside of Ariel's Grotto.

Then rode Dumbo several times!

We took a little break and whizzed around on the Transit Authority for a bit. Such a great ride to rest on!

This is one of Maddie's top 5 favorite rides so we stayed on and rode the loop a few rounds.

Then the adults switched off for some Space Mountain.

The guy in the back is NOT feeling it.

We met up with Tia who was the only person in the group who could finally ride the teacups with Maddie.




Chris actually had started to feel kind of sick (and was VERY sore!) and Sydney was EXHAUSTED (and about 5 seconds from a 2 year old tantrum) so he opted to take her back to the hotel and not go to dinner with us.

We had reservations at Cinderella's Royal Table which was VERY exciting for Madeline. We'd been trying for THREE trips to get these so it was a big win!

We walked into the castle and were greeted by Cinderella herself.

We sat down and chatted a bit...

Princess Maddie got her wishing star and wand.

(And we, of course, got one of each for little sissy)

And then some of Cinderella's friends came to our table while we ate!

It was such a fun time for Madeline eating in the actual castle. I can't wait to go back in a few years when Sydney is 4-5.

It was dark when dinner was over so we had a castle selfie. (I'm actually not sure why Maddie isn't in this pic??)

The castle is so pretty at night!

Then my parents took Maddie back while tia and I kept going. We have some crazy Disney stamina!

Buzz Lightyear! I kid you not. I had 2,476 points. Mercedes had 999,999. She has an unfair advantage practicing all the time and knows all of the secret targets to hit!

It was a very fun day at Magic Kingdom!

Next up: Hollywood Studios!
