After a fun first day at Disney, we all slept great and, thankfully, no one fell out of bed! We were up bright and early because we had a breakfast reservation at The Crystal Palace for 9:15. We learned a little trick – if you have a breakfast reservation for 9:15 or earlier, you can get into the park early and go on and get in line to ride certain rides right when they open at 9:00 before you go to breakfast. If you get really lucky (like we did!) they might even start running the rides early! It’s also fun to be in the park when it’s virtually empty and we got the photog to snap the traditional castle picture…
Thumbs up to a good day ahead! ha!
GJ went walking around with the baby while the boys and I went straight for Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. We got there about 8:45 and they were already running the ride so we go to walk right on and ride!!
and then we go to walk right on and ride again!
Woohoo! We then made our way over to breakfast but stopped off at Peter Pan as it was only a 10 minute wait. Perfect! We then met GJ and Samantha at The Crystal Palace for breakfast where we got to see Pooh and friends.
The kids didn’t care that much about Pooh but I would definitely do that breakfast again based on location and food! Maxwell then said he was really wanting to meet Mickey so we headed over to Main Street to greet the main mouse!
Maxwell walked right up and gave him a big hug! Spencer needed a little encouragement from brother to get close but he did and was happy to show Mickey that he had a picture of him on his shirt!
Love this pic of Maxwell giving Spence a little nudge! 🙂
Baby didn’t want to get close to that mouse!
Mickey was chatting with the boys and brought up something about a lion and that was all they needed to show off their roars! Mickey was so impressed he decided to roar with them!
Going to see Mickey wasn’t in our original plan but I’m so glad Maxwell asked to do it because it might have been my favorite part of the trip!
After Mickey it was the Haunted House and then a quick stop off to see my childhood friend, Andee, who happened to be there that day with her crew! What fun!
We then rode Aladdin’s carpets…
Managed to get a free Dole Whip pineapple ice cream…
Got talked into buying 2 snakes…
and then rode the Pirates of the Caribbean before calling it a day!
We loaded up at the hotel…
got dropped off at the airport….
and, thankfully, had an uneventful flight home!
Disney trips are always exhausting but always worth it! Thanks again for everything GJ and Daddo! See ya real soon!
Loved sharing the adventures with you!
Always lots of fun!
Mickey is happy to see his friends.
