Disney - Day 2

Our second day, Saturday, was spent back at the Magic Kingdom.  Friday we had hit some of the bigger rides, but still had plenty to see yet.  Below is Lexi posing by the "L" at our hotel while waiting for the bus and then again with Will.  The picture is hazy because the camera fogged up going from the air of our room to the HOT sun already at 8 a.m.

We were up bright and early because we had breakfast reservations at one of the restaurants, so we were allowed into the park before it opened at 9 a.m. When we booked the reservation, the person never told us where the restaurant was, just what the breakfast was called and to check in at the entrance to Magic Kingdom and they would allow us in. Well once we got to the gate we were surprised to learn there was more than one character breakfast and we had no idea where we were supposed to go. After a lot of running around and three restaurants later, we finally found where we were supposed to be and it was very much worth it.



We were greeted by Tony, whom the restaurant was named after.  He was so funny running around the restaurant.  Once breakfast was served, the characters came out to greet all the families and take photos.  After photos, they danced with the kids.  The looks on their faces was priceless..great experience.



During the character breakfast, our wonderful waitress Shelly told us to go next door and get a Fastpass to see the princesses and Mickey Mouse, so that when we were finished eating we wouldn't have to wait in line.  It worked out great, with the special pass we didn't have to stand in the lines and had to wait just a few minutes to see some of the special characters. 

The man himself...Mickey Mouse. Great smiles kids!  lol
The Fisher Family
Today Josh has decided to be from Texas.  You wouldn't believe the amount of people that commented on his shirt and asked where in Texas he was from.  He would normally reply he was from Wisconsin, but tried Houston at least once.  lol
Some of the fall decorations...
Will was very excited to meet Chip and Dale...

Mickey and Minnie putting on a show at the castle.

The princesses and their men joined in as well...
We got to see a lighted parade. As an adult you can appreciate the work that must have went into these floats.  The pictures didn't do it justice (and I borrowed a camera, so I didn't have it quite figured out yet).


Another great day.  The weather was very hot again, but what we would expect in Florida. No rain. :)  After our previous 21 hour day, we still made it until the park closed at 10:00 p.m.  All the kids did good on the rides and Will really surprised me with how brave he was.  Although there were a few that I didn't think were scary (I am not a big roller coaster rider) he did.  Like the one called Snow White's Scary Adventure.  You just sit in a car together and it takes you through the story of Snow White.  He isn't a fan of witches, so this was not a hit with him.  He got off very angry asking why I would ever put him on a ride so scary!  That wasn't very nice mom!
