Disney Day 7: Magic Kingdom Day 3
OK June 12th, Aaron’s birthday. We decided that we hadn’t built enough rest into our plan (even Aaron was tired), so we decided to swim at the resort, eat lunch, take a nap, and then go to the park. The cool thing is that once you figure out how to "work" the parks, it’s easy to go late and take as many rides as you want – you just work them around the crowd-grabbers, like parades and fireworks.
So after some R&R we made our way to MK for the last time.
First, we drove to the TTC and took the Monorail in. and Aaron sat up front in the captains compartment. This is a great time for the kids, and the driver always treats each kid like it’s the first time he’s ever had a visitor in his compartment, and tells them all about the Monorail and how it works.
Next, I’ll just highlight stuff – we took rides and met characters. Here are the pictures starting at DSC00231, and an explanation:
- Waiting for the Monorail, riding in the front of the Monorail
- We met Rafiki (from Lion King)
- Aaron’s birthday dinner at Crystal Palace (Pooh & Friends) – note that Tigger is leading a parade, that’s in honor of Aaron’s birthday
- More pics from Jungle Cruise, we took it again
- Pirates, which we took again
- The Teacup ride
- Buzz Lightyear, which we took again
- Indy Racers again
- 3-D Glasses from Mickey’s Philharmagic
- Pictures of the Castle and Main Street at night
Tomorrow – our last day at Disney, Epcot.
