Magic Kingdom Day 2

On Thursday we went to Magic Kingdom again. It was a much better day than Tuesday. We started out the day by doing the rides we hadn't done on Tuesday while the lines were still short. We rode Dumbo, Little Mermaid, the Barnstormer, and Teacups all with a less than 10 minute wait time. Then we rode Winnie the Pooh and Peter Pan, which had shorter times than expected.
The kids on Teacups. I didn't ride with them so they could spin as fast as they wanted.

Kenzie and Coleman with Nana.

Winnie the Pooh was cool because it had a play area for the kids while we waited for some of the time.

And cool things to do even after we left the play area.

They got a picture with Stitch.

The kids and I rode Space Mountain. Doug had a headache and he thought it would get worse on this ride because it's a little jerky and he got one on Tuesday after riding it. We brought kindles that day and spent a lot of time in line reading. This line was only supposed to be 60 minutes, but it was 90 minutes. It was so long! We had dinner at a Mexican place called Peco Bill. It was yummy!

Kenzie, Coleman, and I rode Space Mountain twice again at night (the line gets so short during the fireworks, you can see how empty it is behind Kenzie. We pretty much walked on the second time). Jackson and Jordan joined us for the second time and when we met them in line Doug gave Kenzie these Minnie ears. He had found them on the ground. She was so happy!

After Space Mountain, we went to Pirate's and then to Jungle Cruise. We weren't sure if we'd have time to do both before it closed at 9. Most of us didn't think we would, but Coleman, always the optimist, kept saying we would. He told me not to get my "hopes too low". After we were able to get in the Jungle Cruise line after Pirates, he said both times he thought we'd make it, and both times he was right. The Jungle Cruise line was super short so we got on quickly and had a really funny skipper. It was a good end to the night.




We had a much better day than Tuesday. The lines were much shorter. And getting back to the car was a lot better too. We rode the ferry and were able to get on right away since it was 9:30 (and the park had closed at 9.)
