Day 5: 2nd Day at Magic Kingdom

After visiting each of the parks, we decided that Magic Kingdom was definitely our favorite.  So, instead of going to the other parks another time (with the exception of Hollywood Studios), we spent the rest of our time at Magic Kingdom.  We didn't even get through the whole park on our first day, so that was our plan for today. 

The photographer told the kids to cover their eyes and told us to kiss.  The girls thought that was pretty silly. 

Garrett and Maggie ran off to get fast passes for Space Mountain, so we found characters and got our pictures taken with them.  First was Mary Poppins!

And then Pinnochio.  Lydia took this picture.

We headed over to Tomorrowland because we weren't able to get over there on the first day.  The first thing we did was to go to the show, "Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor" where you go and listen to the monsters tell jokes.  It's interactive though (kind of like the talk with Crush show), so that made it even funnier when they'd show pictures of people in the audience and they would participate somehow. 

We came out of that and it was raining.  That morning was the only time it rained though, thank heavens.  We split up so that Maggie and I could ride Space Mountain and Garrett took the other kids on the Buzz Lightyear ride.  Buzz Lightyear is kind of an arcade game while you ride.  Bella didn't like it very much, but the other kids did.  For me, Space Mountain was okay.  I'm not a big fan of rollercoasters in the dark.  I like to be able to see where I'm going.  To be honest, for some reason I felt really tall in my seat and I was really paranoid that my head was going to hit something on the ride.  I kept trying to scoot down in my seat so I wouldn't hit my head.  Then my neck hurt after.  I know...I'm kind of pathetic.  Maggie liked it a lot.  So, when we switched kids, Garrett and Maggie went on it twice.  

When I got the little kids, we went on Buzz Lightyear one more time.  And then we still had time so we went on the People Mover that takes you around all of Tomorrowland and tells you about the rides.  Bella loved this one.  She's so funny!

Then we went to race some cars at the Tomorrowland Speedway.  Paige drove me, Lydia drove Bella (I don't have a picture of them because they were a couple of cars ahead of us), Maggie was by herself and Garrett had Noah.

Garrett then took Bella, Noah and Paige on the TeaCups.  They are crazy--I don't do dizzy rides.  He said that he got it spinning really fast because Bella was loving it, but then he looked at Noah and had to slow it down because he looked really sick and dizzy.  He said it was the funniest thing ever.  Poor Noah.  I still can't get over Bella liking the Teacups so much. 

Then they went on it again, minus Noah.  I was walking him around trying to get him to sleep in the stroller.  Then we noticed that Rapunzel was going to be coming out in like 40 minutes.  So, I stood in line to wait for her, since the line was relatively short at that point and Garrett took the kids to eat lunch at the Starlight Cafe.  When she came out, we had to only wait a few minutes for our turn. 

Bella wanted to know where Pascal was.  Of course, she didn't ever ask, but I told Rapunzel that Bella wanted to know where Pascal was, so this is Rapunzel telling Bella.  Cute!

After seeing Rapunzel, we went back into the restaurant so I could eat my lunch, but by this point, Bella's stomach was really hurting and she was having some stomach issues.  So we had to keep racing back to the bathroom.  I really thought that I was going to have to take her back to the hotel, but we went and bought her a banana and had her eat that, and I said quite a few prayers in my head that she would feel better and after about an hour, she was doing much better and we were able to stay for the rest of the day.

So for that hour, we had to stay pretty close to a bathroom.  So they rode the carousel a couple of times and Lydia tried to pull the sword out of the Stone.  She couldn't do it.  She got kind of mad though when she saw a smaller kid pull it out without any problems.  :)

After the Carousel, we went to watch Mickey's Philharmagic, since I missed it last time.  It was really cute.  Then we went on Peter Pan and It's a Small World again. 

Then Maggie and I went on Haunted Mansion and this is what they did while they waited for us.  I love the sad faces!

Lydia, Maggie and Garrett rode on Splash Mountain and I took the other three on Aladdin's Flying Carpet.  After that, we headed back to the hotel.  Since none of us were really hungry and we had a lot of snacks left on our dining plan, we loaded up on snacks and took them back to our hotel and ate some of the snacks, goofed off a little and then went to bed.
