Magic Kingdom

Today we went to the Magic Kingdom. Our first stop was Cinderella's castle! We had breakfast with the princesses. After changing into our princess attire (Lydia and Emily), we got our picture taken with Cinderella. This was quite a big deal! After our picture, we assended the winding staircase to the dining tower. The girls were presented magic wands and Ryan received a prince sword. They were served a delicious breakfast on a plate shaped like Mickey Mouse's head. All the pastries they could handle and milks all around. While we ate, the royal court came around for pictures. We met Ariel the Mermaid, Snow White, Belle from Sleeping Beauty, and Rapunzel. Each one stopped, for pictures. It was quite a morning.
By the time we left, it was after 11. We headed for the Tomorrowland Speedway. Ryan and Mike shared race car-Ryan drove. And Lydia and Emily and I shared a car. Emily decided she didn't want to drive so Lydia grabbed the wheel. I operated the gas petal. "I can't believe I am driving this car all by myself!" shouted Lydia. It was so funny! It wasn't too long before Emily decided she needed to drive too.
After our Indy experience, we went to Space Mountain to get a Fastpass. The line wasn't too bad so we got in line instead. Had I remembered that the cars in Space Mountain were in front of one another instead of you sitting side by side, that would have been helpful. This was not a favorite of Lydia and Emily! Lydia came off crying and Emily got scared everytime we mentioned "space" and "ride" in the same sentence for the rest of the week. :) Ryan was in the front and liked it ok--not his fav though.
Buzz Lightyear's Great Ranger Spin was a great follow up! Once Emily realized this was a FUN space ride, all was good.

We watched the Dream Come True Parade, cooled off while watching Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress Show. We met Mickey and Minnie at Town Square Theater and left for a short break. Upon returning, we rode the Mad Tea Party Tea Cups, teh Walt Disney World Railroad and watched the Main Street Electrical Parade and watched the fireworks show from the ferryboat back across the lake. AWESOME!

Minnie and her "sister."  We always say that Emily talks like Minnie Mouse.  We had to have a picture of them together!
