Day two, Magic Kingdom day, dawned bright and early. It took a bit to get the girls up, but once they were awake Kira was so excited to get going!
We headed off to the Magic Kingdom to catch the opening show. It was cute, but not worth getting up early to see. The best part of it was when a cast member gave Kira some 'magic' to throw at the end of the show - when they open the park. She was so diligent in holding it that when it came time to throw it, it was stuck to her hand. She could have had a mini melt down then, but just smiled and shook it off and then threw it :D
After stopping for a delicious breakfast at the main street bakery - cinnamon roll for the girls and I and a cherry danish for Josh. It was soo yummy! We headed off to toontown to see the fairies. Kire was so excited to see Tinkerbell. She was one of the 'must see' items on Kira's list. The way that they have 'pixie hollow' in toontown was so cute. You exit the line and enter a smaller line in another room where there are larger than life mushrooms, leaves and flowers. From there you enter the room with the fairies so there isn't anyone in there but those that are with the fairies. Josh got really into the 'shrinking' process and was so sweet with Kira. We had her close her eyes and spin in circles and then magically she was shrunk down to the size of the fairies. Definately a great start to the day. Just seeing the way that Josh was totally absorbed in fulfilling Kira's fantasy was magical.
Since we were in toontown, we did all that toontown has to offer. Last year, Kira's favorite ride was the barnstormer(rollercoaster.) This year, I was able to get her to ride it once, but she wasn't feeling the rollercoasters this trip, we could'nt get her on any other ones. A bit of a bummer, yet there is so much to see and do in Disney that they weren't as missed.
Next we headed over to fantasyland and rode/did everything! Thank goodness for air conditioned rides! They were a lifesaver for Rora. She nursed three times (from 10am-1pm) and everytime she nursed was in the air conditioning.
After we finished with fantasyland, we headed over to Crystal Palace for lunch. I wasn't looking forward to it as a meal, it was a buffet(I HATE buffets!) but we went to see Pooh Bear and gang. The meal was surprisingly delicious. Even Kira ventured out of her element and asked for salmon - ok, so salmon is a staple at our house, but it was still nice that she didn't just eat chicken nuggets and mac'n'cheese. The only character that didnt just stop for a half second picture was tigger and he was enthralled with Aurora. She in turn wouldn't stop looking at him for even a picture. He also didn't forget about Kira and spent time with her as well. Kudos to him because he made my day!
After lunch we headed over to Adventureland and rode/did all that it had to offer. We also finished Liberty square and frontierland. Kira's favorite ride is now Pirates of the Carribean. Right outside the ride Goofy was waiting all decked out as a pirate. Since he was a pirate, Kira decided to give him her best pirate 'aarg.' It was so cute! Goofy backed up scared and it took him a minute to come near her again. I was very proud of her since she usually clams up when she sees the characters.
Dinner was a California Grill. This was our favorite meal last year and we couldn't wait to eat there again. And once again, it didn't dissapoint. It was delicious! They had my favorite dessert idea. Rice Crispie Sushi. I will definitely be making this one at home!
Day two was fabulous and we headed back to our hotel to bed fully exhausted knowing that we did as much as any sane person could do in a day!
We didn't ride anything in tomorrowland, we skipped the Hall of Presidents, Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Railroad. We had such a great day!
Up next: Hollywood Studios!
