This was the busiest, longest, warmest day we had while visiting the parks... Disney's Magic Kingdom. You could tell that the Magic Kingdom was a very popular place. And wouldn't you know that we actually ran into a family we knew from church at the attraction "It's a Small World?!" No kidding... it IS a small world! That was a fun surprise! :-)
We arrived at the park by 9:00 a.m. and didn't leave until after 9 p.m. We were all pretty tired by then... we did so much:
Pirates of the Caribbean, Jungle Cruise, Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mt. Railroad, Country Bear Jamboree, The Hall of Presidents, it's a small world, Peter Pan's Flight, Mad Tea Party, Prince Charming Regal Carrousel, Tomorrowland Indy Speedway, Space Mountain, Astro Orbiter, Transit Authority, Carousel of Progress, Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, Monster's Inc. Laugh Floor, Electric Parade AND the firework display.
We started in Adventureland and worked our way around.
This is Splash Mountain in Frontierland.
Getting ready to go down the final, BIG, drop (that you see in the above picture)! Izzy was so brave, but very nervous. We are proud of our kiddos... they gave almost everything a shot, as long as their sibling or cousin "Genna" was going too. :-)
After....
J & E on Big Thunder Mt., getting sprayed with water. E was pretty intense and hung on very tightly!
Lunch Break!
'Must have' pictures with the Castle behind us...
My cute parents.
My sister and her awesome family!
My kids.
The Indy Speedway was one of my favorite rides of the day. I laughed SO hard and had such a good time - Izzy was driving and we went from side to side of the strip that keeps you on the track the whole time.
My sister and I. :-) Luv you K!
The group waiting in line...
Time for some fun!
Joel's favorite ride. :-)
My sister was the only adult interested in going on the tea cups with the kids...
they had fun (and no one got sick from going around in circles).
Pictures from "it's a small world."
I've always loved this ride. I think it was recently renovated too.
It was so cool to see how many colors the castle turned at night. Very beautiful!
The Electrical parade was so cool! So bright and colorful, with fun music playing. A favorite!
And last, but not least, the fireworks.

So, this post is finally done! I've been working on it, when I have time, since Tuesday. I took too many pictures and wanted to share them all. Enjoy!

I really enjoyed these, Gret! Wow - u did get ALOT, didn't ya? They brought a smile to my face as I remembered how much fun we had. It was G-R-E-A-T!! Hope Izzy feels better soon - glad it isn't the stomach bug. Love ya!
Aw Gretchen, you did an amazing job on the blog post. I love all the "collages" like "it's a small world" and pics of the castle. Thank goodness I have a sister who likes to take pictures as much as me or else how could I live vicariously through your photos??
The only bad photo: Joel on the carosel (sp?). He looks scared to death, poor thing. I almost feel bad for him.
;)
Love you!!!
Oh, and the pics of Izzy and mom on Splash Mountain brought me back too. I got goose bumps just remembering the excitement right before the big drog.
P.S. Mad props to Kate for that tea-cup shenanigans. That's Katy-krazy!
Cool!! We were there in March as well! We (my husband and I) are not lovers of amusement parks, so we just did Magic Kingdom, but it was a really great day!
Just looking at the tea cups make me want to throw up!
And I cannot believe you met people you knew! We live an entire day's drive away, so that would have been crazy to see people we knew. The park was packed! Well, they said it was a slowish day, but we thought it was crazy in there!!
