Disney: Day 3




Characters at the Park Opening

These are a few more pics from day 3 at Disney. We visited the Magic Kingdom. They definitely had the best opening of all of the parks! We headed straight to Fantasyland and rode four rides in about 30 minutes!! Peyton liked Winnie the Pooh the best. Then we headed to Pooh's Playful Corner to let her run around a few minutes before heading to Toontown to stand in our longest line of the trip to see the Fairies in Pixie Hollow. Next, we rode the train around to the front of the park and met Pluto before heading to lunch at the Crystal Palace:)

Lunch at the Crystal Palace was wonderful. Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, and Eeyore visited our table. Peyton loved every minute of it...although she was so excited about which character was coming next she sometimes forgot about the one visiting her right then!!!

Disney: Day 2

We spent our second day at Animal Kingdom. We didn't go back after naptime, so just did as much as we could do. We went on the Safari, through several of the walking trails, spent time at Rafiki's Planet Watch, met many characters, and started the Lion King show. It got canceled about 10 minutes into it (don't worry, we came back on Wednesday before we headed home and caught the entire show). Buck rode Expedition Everest twice. We ate lunch at Pizzafari.

Many people told us that Animal Kingdom was a 1/2 day park, but we could easily stay longer than that--especially with all of the characters there are to meet here.

Meeting Safari Mickey

That evening we headed to Ohana at The Polynesian Resort. This was our favorite meal. Peyton enjoyed the food & entertainment. The shrimp was amazing & Buck enjoyed the steak. The meat is all you can eat. They bring the skewers to the table until you cannot eat anymore.

Disney: Day 1


Peyton at the Yacht Club


Epcot

Our first day at Disney was Buck's birthday. He wore his birthday button:) and had so many cast members wish him a happy birthday. We headed to EPCOT first thing in the morning; in fact, we were the only people on the bus from our resort. I think our longest line for the day was about seven minutes & that was for Buck to get a fastpass for SOARIN! Peyton loved the The Seas with Nemo & Friends Pavilion. We met several characters which took her awhile to get used to, but they were all great interacting with her. We ate authentic fish & chips that were wonderful in Great Britain and we had a steak dinner at The Captain's Grille at the Yacht Club (just a short boat ride from Epcot). The Chinese Acrobats were a great way to end our day. We had an excellent start to our Disney vacation! Enjoy the pics...
