Magic Kingdom

The day started early - a wake up call at 6:45 am!  By 7:55 we were in line at our hotel waiting for a free shuttle to the Magic Kingdom. It was frustrating to have four empty shuttles bound for Hollywood Studios come by before the first Magic Kingdom shuttle arrived 20 minutes later.

The Unofficial Guide to Disney book authors have now created an app called touring plans. Well worth the $10 to buy it and get customized tours to suit your specific needs each day!

We took in Peter Pan, It's a Small world and Splash Mountain and Pirates of the Caribbean in the first Hour!  We experienced The Beauty and the Beast restaurant, Be Our Guest. Try the grey stuff it IS delicious!!  I had the shrimp and scallop entree for dinner which was tasty but shouldn't have wasted my money on the lemonade!  The wait staff was very accommodating to my sister who does her best to avoid dairy. It was Vety exciting to get pictured with Beast. 

We wisely took a break for three hours early in the afternoon and had a nap in the hotel room!

The Main street electrical parade was a hit and we used one of our Fastpasses to secure seats curb side  in the circle in front of city hall. It made for a fast exit to catch a shuttle home!

Pretty impressive floats!
