About 2 years ago, we made our first family trek to Disney World and had a blast! On this trip, since our main goal was to see the Shuttle Launch, we gave the kids a choice of one Disney park to revisit. Of course they chose the Magic Kingdom because of the RIDES!! On this trip, Tanner is now 5 1/2 and tall enough to ride ALL the rides there, so he was pretty pumped.
I may go down in the book of bad moms, but I only took 17 pictures while we were there! Can you believe that? I probably took a million the last time! This trip was pretty cool though because we knew what we wanted to do and what we didn't. The lines weren't bad either and luckily we didn't have to wait more than 30 minutes to ride any of the rides. Most of them we only waited 10 - 15 minutes. Yea!!
Right when we got there, we rode the train to the backside of the park to hit Thunder Mountain and Splash Mountain first! Tanner wasn't scared at all and the girls cracked me up trying to see how much they could scream. Splash Mountain was next and was another first for Tanner. Terry and I got absolutely soaked - and the kids hardly had a drop on them. Just like Sea World, typical! They loved the suspense of the "drop" at the end, as well as the actual drop, and improved their scream techniques as we splashed into the "Briar Patch".
Tanner's 1st ride on Thunder Mountain
Tanner's 1st ride on Splash Mountain.
There were several "firsts" for Tanner on this trip - hence more pics of him - sorry girls!
The Buzz Lightyear ride is at the top of our "favorites" list and we kept riding it trying to up our laser-shooting scores. The kids rode the Pirates of the Caribbean ride for the first time (it was being refurbished the last time we were there) and It's A Small World is always a favorite. I love Space Mountain and although Tanner was tall enough to ride this for the first time, he opted to wait until our next trip (After riding it again, I was very glad he made that decision!). The Monsters, Inc show was new at Disney and was pretty funny.
On the search for Zurg!
Avery's favorite of the day was Splash Mountain, Anna and Tanner's was Thunder Mountain, Terry's was Splash Mountain and mine was probably Space Mountain and Buzz Lightyear. Our only disappointment was that the Goofy rollercoaster (Barnstormer)was not running, so we didn't get to ride it and it was one of our favorites on the last trip. Souvenirs: Avery- snow globe, Anna - key chain and a Mickey Mouse over-the-door basketball goal, Tanner - a Buzz Lightyear laser gun and a Star Wars car.
We had to get another castle picture!
A family picture to remember the day!
It was a super fun day, even though we didn't lay eyes on Mickey or Minnie this time. I hope they didn't miss us too much!
