Walt Disney World Day 2 - Magic Kingdom


We started our day with a ferry ride to the Magic Kingdom.


Waiting for the train.



After the ferry we decided to ride the train around to the back of the park.

We visited Mickey & Minnie at the fairgrounds.
Just so you know, you can stay with M & M as long as you want & they will not kick you out. It's not nice for everyone waiting behind you, but you can loiter.

A ride on the carousel is a must. See that Joy?


It's fun for the whole family!



Look Ma, no hands!




Adrienne had me try on her hat. Lovely.


I think it's way cuter on her!




Another "must ride" is Dumbo.




We were handed these cards so many times it was almost ridiculous. I was so used to having them I forgot to hand them to the right cast members a few times. Ooops.


Eli & Tony on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Look for the bald head.

There was no wait at the Pirates of the Caribbean ride so we rode it a few times much to Adrienne's distress. She did not like the drop in the dark.


Aaargh!


Hand over all your loot!


We made reservations at the Liberty Tree Tavern for an all you can eat meal. It had just started to rain so it was perfect timing. We also had all you can drink & we opted for hot cocoa & chocolate milk. I think Tony had 6 mugs of chocolate milk.


Adrienne with her Sprite before her hot chocolate.


Our server was very nice.

Eli touching the Liberty Bell replica made from the same mold as the original Liberty Bell. Ooooh!

We wandered around in the rain for a while.


As you can see the park was pretty empty. The kids with me & the castle.


We decided to end our day with a ride on the monorail & cover all the transportation bases.


The kids wanted to ride standing up so they could "surf" while the monorail took us back to our car.

Walt Disney World Day 1 - Epcot


Adrienne decided to take some photos, starting with the parking lot. Me too.



We went on the ride in the big "golf ball" first.

It put our faces in a funny movie. Aren't we cute?


Tony & Adrienne.

Two girls in a clam shell, or maybe an oyster.

There are the boys, following us on the Nemo ride.


Eaten alive.


Nose ring anyone?


Under the sea with E & A.

Then we decided to hit the sea & ride the boat around the World Showcase lagoon.
Japan as seen from the boat.
Italy

Our captain, who could not perform marriages. I asked.

This was Eli's favorite ride last time we were here & Adrienne wouldn't ride it. This time it was a little tame for our adventurous boy but Adrienne enjoyed it.

Eli & I in Norway.


My Vikings with a troll.


Off to Mexico.


Little Miss feeding the burro.


And, little Mister feeding the burro. I hope it was hungry.


In Italy with King Triton.


We watched a funny play in Italy - Romeo & Edna. The kids didn't understand it all but still found it humerous.


In America we really enjoyed the Voices of Liberty singers. This woman could really sing & hit those glass shattering notes. It was amazing!


In Japan Adrienne wanted to dress up in a kimono.


The sales girls had a field day with her & put her hair up & gave her an umbrella to carry around.


She loved it & wanted to get another kimono to wear around Disney.


Stopping at the water fountain.

Lounging around in Morocco.
We collected squished pennies all around the park. (I should have bought another book for them all.) We got a list of all the squished penny locations at guest services & it was like a treasure hunt to locate them all. The kids were always on the lookout for the machines & got really good at spotting them!

Eli took this photo of me in France.

Tony & the Kids in Great Brittain.
I couldn't talk Tony into getting into this photo with us. Don't you think Tigger looks lonely?

It started raining on us.

Crazy people in Canada!
