Day 4 - Magic Kingdom

Yup, I did it...I scheduled an early morning after being at the park til midnight the night before..nice, uhn?? lol...We got to see a rope drop (finally !! For those that don't know, every park does a little "thing" before offically opening and at MK it's a song and dance number)..Since Austin hasn't had a haircut in about 2 weeks he was due (ha ha ha)..seriously I just wanted to get it done and Keira of course needed to be "pixied"...then we spent the day enjoying all the different lands, rode the Magic Carpets (Keira made us go up and down and Austin controlled which way we tilted..oh boy !!!), saw the new Enchanted Tiki Room (don't like it, like the old version better), rode Pirates of the Carribbean (no there is NOT a waterfall, GRAMPA!!!), then played rider swap while we rode Big Thunder Mountain..we wanted to do Splash Mountain, but there was a 40 minute wait...oh well...then we headed to the monorail and rode it around the park and over to Epcot...it was a nice way to relax for about 30 - 45 minutes before lunch and allowed Austin to nap in the stroller...After that, LUNCH AT CINDERELLA'S CASTLE !!! I do have to say I was a little dissappointed this year with that..last year we were there for dinner and each princess got an introduction and would come by and talk to the whole table, this year they were already in the room and seemed in a big hurry to move onto the next table...After lunch it was lots more exploring and then we parked Grampa with the kids for the parade and headed over to Space Mountain to ride it twice..lol..we did that a couple times..park Grampa and the kiddos and take off for some rides..Worked great for us, Grampa on the other hand had to deal with a few meltdowns...oh well, not our problem, we were on a ride..HA HA HA !!!! We FINALLY got to see the Spectromagic Parade and it was soooo cool, then we decided to head home..we skipped the fireworks that night (shhhhh don't tell Keira she missed some, never mind both of them were completely done in)

How to keep a kid sitting still so you can cut his hair?? Cover him in stickers !!!

Pink hair AND Pixie Dust

Austin making us go forward, backward, forward, backward

Seriously ??? That's how he fell asleep

Yes, yes..I even posed for this one

Why wouldn't we give him another sword  ?

Make your own sundae ROCKS

Now while we were there we started standing in line to meet Rapunzel..it was a TWO HOUR wait in the SUN at 1:00 pm..told Keira, no way...but her Daddy, being him made it happen..he talked to the guy at the rope and found out that MK had extra magic hours for resort guests only..which means the park opens 1 hour early for us...so we get the park at 8:00 in the morning, Rapunzel comes out at 9:15, we are outta there by 9:30 and on our way...worked great..got there at 8:30 (what, you didn't expect us to be on time did you??), sent Shane to the line and we got some breakfast then we waited...it was worth every minute !!!!

This is what the boys were doing...exploring the wildlife

See..Floridian DUCK !!!
