Back to Magic Kingdom 2/20
















We spent 1/2 of our last day at Magic Kingdom. This day was Sat. and I was pretty bummed it was coming to an end. We decided to get an early start and arrive at opening so we could hurry and get on the rides we had missed on Thurs. That ended up being a great idea as we didn't have to wait in any long lines! Kyle was insistent that we only spend 1/2 a day so he could take the kids swimming at our resort. It actually might have reached 70 degrees this day. Magic Kingdom is great. When we arrived and were waiting in line they had a live performance going to entertain everyone. When we got inside the park they had bubbles blowing out of the trash cans ... it really is the happiest place on earth. We rode a few rides, saw "Mickey's Philharmonic" in 3-D, which was really cute. The Disney parks offer a lot of 3-D shows but this was the best one, in my opinion. Beckett even sat through this one with his 3-D glasses on and tried to reach for everything...it was really cute. The girls and I had breakfast with the princesses in the castle at "Cinderella's Royal Table." It was great food and really fun. We finished our morning getting autographs from some characters and riding "The Jungle Adventure" ride. We let Bex play in this little "Winnie-the-Pooh" playground. This was probably the highlight of Beckett's trip-I think it was the only time he was "free". We went back to our resort so the kids could go swimming. They super heat the pools so you can swim any time of year so that was nice. Everyone had fun. Our last activity was going to the "Hoopty-doo Musical Review." This was a musical-dinner show. We actually had to take the bus back to Magic Kingdom and then take a boat to the "Wilderness Resort." I, personally, froze on the boat to and from. This show came highly recommended to us from some friends and it didn't disappoint. Very fun! They served all-you-could eat fried chicken and ribs. Kyle had bones stacked a foot high on his plate-this was his kind of food. I know I have misspelled names of rides and shows in these posts but once again...I lost my book :( This day was a great end to our trip. We had such an amazing time. We left really early Sunday morning to get home. The flight went well but we were very tired...almost zombie-like. Beckett would NOT sit in his seat on the airplane without throwing a fit and working his way out of the seat belt. Our flight attendant on this flight would not over look this and stalked me to make sure he was buckled. She actually tried to "reason" with my 2 year old telling him that the pilot wouldn't be able to fly the plane until he was buckled in....yeah, he understood all that-what the heck. Anyways, I forced him in while he screamed and then took him out once she was out of sight. I understand their rules and now I just wish we would have lied and said he was under 2. It would have saved us $200 and a lot of stress. I made Kyle sit with him when we landed and he managed to entertain him while getting his seat belt on - I am glad he could work his magic. We were glad to be home safe and sound with great memories.

We went to Disney when Middle was 2. The flights were HORRIBLE with her except for a couple of things - a) we brought her carseat and strapped her in so she couldn't get out (she still screamed about it though) b) we took FIL and his wife and Middle sat in between FIL and Craig three rows back and across the aisle from me, so it wasn't my problem! LOL
