Day One: The kids were so excited this day. Our favorite rides of the day were The Pirates of the Carribean ride, Big Thunder Mountain, and The Tea Cups. We hit a parade in the afternoon, went back to the hotel for a couple of hours of swimming, and then headed back to the park for the fireworks. They were AMAZING!! Tinkerbell was even all lit up! The kids loved it and much to our surprise so did Lexie:)
Day Two: This day we tried to hit up a lot of the characters. But to tell you the honest truth, the lines were so long that we only did Mickey and Minnie, and Rafiki!! We decided to spend most of our day over in Fantasyland and Tomorrowland. The kids were in LOVE with the Dumbo ride, the Winnie the Pooh ride, this race car ride, and the Buzz Lightyear ride! I think we did the Buzz ride like three times that day!! They also found this Donald boat that shot out water and they played there for quite some time. It was a nice haven from the heat!! We were lucky that midway through the day we had some thundershowers and it cooled off the rest of the day so nicely. The showers lasted a total of 15 minutes! It was so funny because as we stood in line for Dumbo we had to wear our ponchos and then once we were on the ride the sun was out again and we had to shove our soaking wet ponchos under our feet! Oh well, at least the rain ended quickly and we were able to enjoy the rest of our day with less heat.

Day Three: This day we did all of our favorites AGAIN and caught some of the shows that we hadn't bothered to wait around for on Days 1 & 2. This day was the kids special Birthday Breakfasts. I scheduled Mikaela, Lexie, my mom, and myself a breakfast with all the Disney Princesses, and Jared, Jackson, and my brother a breakfast with Mickey and all his friends. The kids were so excited!! Especially since we hadn't waited in line to meet any of these characters and now they had some nice one on one time with them.
Mikaela, of course, dressed up as Cinderella and was in utter shock the entire time we were eating in the castle. I kept telling her to smile but she was in such shock that the face you see below in the photos was the best I could get! She really did love it and at the end she did not want to leave! She kept telling me she wasn't done with her breakfast yet, despite the fact we had been there for an hour already!! I finally convinced her to leave and she yelled bye one more time to Cinderella as we exited the castle.
Jackson's breakfast was just as fun. Jared says they sang him Happy Birthday (we told them we were celebrating early) and gave him a special cupcake to eat. Apparently all the characters came back multiple times to their table, specifically Minnie Mouse. She kept coming up behind Jackson giving him hugs and kisses!! Jared says Jackson would turn bright red every time she would give him a hug or a kiss!! What a silly boy.
After our huge breakfasts' we met up with the boys and enjoyed another show right in front of the castle. We had to hide out from one thunderstorm that day for about an hour, but that's alright, we ate ice cream while we waited it out! Then we took off and like I said before we hit up more rides. Peter Pan, Merry go Round, Big Thunder Mountain, Tea cups, the list could go on and on. Since this was our last day here we were making sure we crammed in everything as best we could. We also saw some wonderful shows. Mickey's Philharmagic was absolutely the best 3D show I have ever seen! It even had bursts of different scents to make you feel like you were smelling the food that was in the show. So awesome.
We kept saying we were going to leave the park early that day and get a good nights rest but it never did happen. We stayed until the park pretty much closed because we hadn't seen their light parade that they call SpectraMagic. The kids were troopers and once the parade started all signs of being tired left. The parade was amazing! Below are all of us waiting patiently for the parade to start. Well except for the picture of Jackson and my brother in the race car. He loved that ride so much I just had to put it in the collage!
So in a nutshell those were our three days at The Magic Kingdom. We actually did not do them back to back. We spaced out our days so that we could do some of the other parks as well. We really did have a lot of fun. So much fun that by the end Mikaela was calling the Magic Kingdom her new home!! Needless to say she did not want to come back:)

What a fun trip, we are going to have to plan one together soon. The pics of Lexi are great, she is sooo grown up! I cleaned out the "preschool bin" last week and couldn't believe that Ben was Lukey's age, they were so little. Miss you
I can't believe you drove all that way with your kids. What a fun trip, though. you all look great!
What a blast! So young the kids got to go to so many states...that's further than I've been! How was the drive? Lexie is getting so big. Miss you guys.
How fun...I so jealous! Can't wait for my turn:)
