Night time Disney

On Grandma Val's second last night our plans were to visit Epcot one afternoon, and then take the monorail to the Magic Kingdom for fireworks.  The Epcot monorail was broken, so we opted to just visit the Magic Kingdom again as that was way easier.  Totally fine too as there is tons to do at Magic Kingdom, and we had only scratched the surface on our first visit.

Winnie the Pooh ride line up


The Beast's castle in New Fantasyland

New fantasyland was fun to see.  It's mainly based around Beauty and the Beast on one side, with the Beast's castle, and Belle's village. Then there was is also an Ariel ride and the new redone Dumbo, and Goofy's Barnstormer.


Gaston statue.  Just beside it was the real Gaston signing autographs.  Rose was scared of him. 

Teacups are still original

New Dumbo ride is actually 2 separate rides.  One for fast pass and the other for the long lineup.  Luckily there is now a circus tent for kids to play in while you wait with a pager.  We just walked right on though in the late afternoon. 






Castle pre-fireworks

Glow sticks we brought back from last year.

We arrived in our viewing spots about 30 minutes early so I just sat on the ground  beached out. 
It ended up being so fun to visit the Magic Kingdom again.  The first day was way busier than normal, and we realized after it was because there was a Super Bowl parade at Disney that day with the MVP's (I think that is what they are called??) on a float. So the second day was a bit more calm...until the fireworks, then it was super busy of course.  On the way home Paige passed out completely in the van.
