Disneyworld- Day 4

Day 4 was Tuesday, and our first "real" day at the Magic Kingdom. We were all anxious to get back, as we had just ridden one ride the night before. This was my day to be the Fastpass runner. We started out with Space Mountain for those who wanted and Dumbo for the rest. E loved Dumbo, but we only did it this once since the line gets so crazy. We all did a bunch of Fantasyland rides and then I went to Splash for Fastpasses. They rode Thunder Mountain a few times while E and I met Woody. It was so adorable watching him run to him and hug him, when at home he cries and runs away from me or M in a costume. Amazing. Then M and my family rode Splash while we took E to see "Woody's Cowboy Camp" where they learned how to be a cowboy. We got him a star badge with his name engraved on it. He is going to be Woody for halloween and wear it.

I think afterwards I ran to get fastpasses for Jungle Cruise. We all rode Haunted Mansion together and E tolerated it, though didn't want to go again when offered. M loved it! I think at this point we had lunch. We went to Columbia Harbour House which was a fish and chips place with fun colonial theming.

After lunch, we saw Mickey's Philharmagic and rode teacups and Winnie the Pooh again (a favorite of E's) Then it was time for Adventureland. We went on Jungle Cruise (not as good as Disneyland) and visited the Tiki room.

Then it was pirate time! While DH and I rode Splash Mtn. with M, the rest rode Pirates then waited in line to meet Capitan Hook and Mr. Smee. We made it back with M just in time. Grandpa was feeling indulgent and let them pick out their weapon of choice. M got a pirate gun and E a sword (shocker) Then it was time for the "Jack Sparrow Pirate Tutorial" The boys loved this show, and were all decked out in the pirate stuff we'd hauled there just for that. M got picked at one point to go into the circle with the pirates.

It had been a long day, and was time to go back for a break before our big night. I didn't mention this, but we were celebrating mom's 50th this day and she wore a shirt I had made her saying it was her 50th birthday, so everyone was telling her happy birthday all day. This night we went to dinner in Hollywood Studios (formerly MGM) and at at Mama Melrose's Italian Restaraunt. It was a fun dinner, and they brought mom a hat to wear, dessert with a candle, and brought out the phone for a call from Goofy.

It was part of the Fantasmic Dinner Package, so after we ate we headed over to the show where we sat in a reserved section just for those who booked that package. I was glad we didn't have to wait any longer than we did. All the non-reserved seats were pretty full by the time we got there, and the boys were getting restless as it was. Fantasmic! was a fun show, and E wasn't scared like I thought he might be. It was a fun night. We shopped afterwards while waiting for the crowds to thin. More pressed pennies were bought, as always.
