Magic Kingdom

Monday was spent at The Magic Kingdom. We got there early, right when the park opened. I had to fix a small issue we had with our tickets. Once that got straightened out we went to the back of the park (Fantasyland) and the plan was to work our way back around the park methodically. Sarah wasn't too keen on that as she wanted to go to the Pirates of the Caribbean first. This lead to some big time pouting.

We started at Snow White. As soon as we got in line, the rain started. Luckily, we were under cover waiting in line. By the time we were done, the rain had stopped (about 15 minutes). After Snow White, Sarah wanted to go look in one of the shops and Alison wanted to ride the Merry-Go-Round. So while Kris took Sarah to look at shirts, Ali and I rode the Merry-Go-Round.


After the Merry-Go-Round, we went to Peter Pan. In between Ali saw a stand selling mouse ears so we took a look and she found a pair that she wanted. I told her we'd come back later and get them. We got lucky that when we got in line for Peter Pan a mom handed us her fast passes. They had just gone on and they had mistakenly gotten fast passes. So she asked if we wanted them. Instead of waiting 10-15 minutes to get on, we were on in about five minutes.

After the ride we went back and got Ali her mouse ears:

Sarah got her Happy Birthday ears and Kris got a hat too since the humidity had just destroyed her hair. We took a few minutes to plan our next move and then we went over to the Haunted Mansion. It was all of about a five minute wait to get in. I was very surprised. I couldn't believe how uncrowded the park was about an hour and a half after opening.

More on our day in a little bit.
