Magic Kingdom Day 2

Day 2 of the Magic Kingdom began bright and early with just enough drizzle to be annoying, but it did make it cool. We finally got to see the main attraction - Mickey and Minnie. The first thing you should know is that Caroline is NOT a morning person. She probably would have slept until 10 that morning had we not drug her out of the bed . Therefore, trying to get her revved up to stand in line to see Mickey & Minnie was not pretty. She moaned and groaned the whole time we waited (about 20 minutes) in line. But, once she saw them up close, those eyes got big and she couldn't hide the smiles anymore. It was off to the races after that. We saw Donald, Goofy, and Woody/Jesse from Toy Story, rode some more rides, and finally saw the afternoon parade with ALL the Disney characters you can imagine. She was blown away. We got to do and see most everything we wanted in the Magic Kingdom, but I could have used one more day to do our favorites again. Here are some of our Day 2 pictures....

We got to go inside Minnie's house and see all of her things. This happened before Caroline's required 2 hr. warm up, so she was not as thrilled as I had hoped she would be.
Ah, but then we saw Minnie herself and boy she changed on a dime! All smiles and hugs after that!


There was a little playground for the kids to play on and she LOVED this.

Meeting Donald Duck in Frontierland. Little boys would LOVE this part.

Riding Aladdin's Magic Carpet Ride - one of her favorites!


Meeting Goofy outside the Pirate of the Carribian ride. She sat this ride out and got to see Goofy while Pops, Ash, Daddy, and Mommy rode the ride. Smart choice - she would have been terrified!
Waving to all the characters in the afternoon parade. This is a great thing to do at least one time because you get to see so many of the characters you don't see around the park. She loved it!
