Yesterday we had fun at Magic Kingdom. We woke up early and got there right when the park opened, which we swear is the only way to do it. The crowds are so much less in the morning, and it is not nearly as hot. We were able to do a few things that we actually had never done before, like the rides Astro Orbiter (usually the line is way too long and there is no Fast Pass), and we finally convinced Ava to try the ride Splash Mountain. By "convinced" I mean "forced" her to ride. She was terrified, and kept wanting to get out of line, but I was the mean mommy and made her go on it. I told her if she didn't like it, we would never make her do it again, but that I was pretty sure she would, since she loved roller coasters. Guess who was right?? She wanted to go on it again with Daddy, which she did, as we had another Fast Pass, and then wanted to go on it a third time because it was "so much fun!" She asked me today if we could go back to Magic Kingdom because she wanted to do Splash Mountain four or five times in a row. :-)
As the day went on, it became ridiculously hot and much busier, so we left the park at about 3:00 p.m. We were able to see a few of the characters as well, which Silas was SUPER excited about! He was almost asleep in his stroller when he saw Pluto, and that woke him up immediately. He LOVES Donald Duck, which he just calls, "DUCCKK." Say it like you are trying to get something out of your throat, and that is about how he sounds. When it was his turn, he walked right up to Donald Duck and proclaimed in his little voice, "Hi Ducckk!!" Enjoy our pictures!
