Orlando Vacation part 2: Magic Kingdom

After much debate we decided to go to the Magic Kingdom on day 2 of our trip.  We weren't sure at first as it was a weekend, and probably busier, and also the weather forecast wasn't great.  Thank goodness we went because a) it didn't rain at all and was sunny the whole time (?!), and b) it was not busy and we waited for 5 minutes or less for every ride we went on (?!).   We went as soon as we were ready in the morning.  When we arrived we rented a stroller for Paige as it is definitely too much walking for her.  Rose ended up really liking the rented stroller and spent more time in it than Paige.  Paige really liked sitting in her old umbrella stroller, so it all worked out!

It actually worked out really nicely, as the girls got to hope in and out of the strollers quite often so they were never overtired or bored.  

 The first ride we went on was Aladdin's magic carpet ride. It was the first ride we saw and the lineup was short so we rushed off to the lineup.  Really everything was a short line up so it didn't matter.
This year all 4 of us could go on every ride.  No more Rose sleeping in the stroller or needing to be fed.

 We got Rosie the "Lotsa" bear from Toy Story 3.  She was excited.  They made him look all worn and he smells like strawberries.

 Paige wanted the mouse ears and promised she'd wear them as they were soft and not scratchy like the ones from last year.

 In the lineup for "It's a Small World", which was significantly better than I remember it from my childhood.  So cute.

 We went on the Aladdin ride, haunted mansion, Pirates, small world, and the carousel.  We had lunch there near the end, some popcorn and then one final ice cream treat before leaving at about 2:30ish.

 As we were heading to the monorail, Paige saw this sign and said "ok, who's going to take my picture?"

We headed home for Rose's nap after a fun filled day! In the car Rose was saying "ya rides, ya fun".  She was too excited to sleep in the car and had a nap at home.  I made Paige lie down to rest, but she wouldn't sleep.  I'm so happy we have 7 days of passes.  Really nice to do half days without having to overdo it, or push our luck.  There's so much more we want to do.
