"I Love You Piglet!"

On Monday we went to Magic Kingdom. I really dislike having to take a tram from the parking lot to the Ticket and Transportation Center and then waiting for either the boat or the monorail. Yes, once you get there it is worth it but I would prefer to park and just walk right on in.

Our first stop was for iced cappuccinos to make good use out of our snack credits. Later in the day Chris and I split an iced cappuccino float.

A quick stop to see Frontier Donald.
Chris and I have hyped Splash Mountain to Wesley for the last year and he could not wait to ride it; however, it wasn't opened yet. He had to settle for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. He LOVED it. Since there wasn't a line (but you did have to exit and walk back around) he rode it over and over. Here he is with Grandma.
Wesley finally got to ride Splash Mountain and loved that also. What did Lydia do during all this? She ate candy that Grandma gave her.

Next we rode Pirates twice in a row because we all love it. Here is Grandpa.

Maybe Lydia needs this for dress-up?

Right before Grandma took this picture of us, she accidentally dropped her magnetic sunglasses, that clip on her regular glasses, in the water under her magic carpet. After we got off the ride one of the ride operators fished them out with a "grabber" and then dried them off for her with a towel. I really appreciated that he went the extra step. Most of Disney's employees are top notch.

Wesley and Lydia love getting spit on by the camel.

After lunch we did the Jungle Cruise and then the Hall of Presidents and then the Haunted Mansion. Chris rode with Lydia and said she seemed to like the Haunted Mansion but near the end of the ride he realized that she had fallen asleep sitting up. She slept through getting off the ride and then slept for almost two hours in her stroller. Wesley slept for about an hour or so in his stroller.

The kids got to see one of their favorite characters after riding his ride.

Lydia was thrilled that she was big enough to ride Goofy's Rollercoaster.

I spun that teacup as fast as I could. The kids were laughing so hard.

We had dinner at Crystal Palace in the Magic Kingdom. It is a buffet but I was very pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. I had several different salads and prime rib. The kids loved seeing Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, and Piglet.

Lydia told Piglet, "I love you Piglet" and then she blew him several kisses as he walked away. We had no idea that she liked him so much.
