Magic Kingdom Wednesday

Wednesday was another day at the Magic Kingdom.  We were up early and arrived at the park about 10 minutes after rope drop.  We had to wait for the rest of the family to arrive so we checked out the new Mickey and Minnie meet and greet at Exposition Hall.  They offer fast passes but since it was so early there was only a 5 minute wait.  The magic theme is awesome and we loves the special time that we got to spend with the Big Mouse!

From there we went back to the front and go in line to meet the Princesses.  Once again, only a 5 minute wait!   Zack loved Belle and didn’t want to stop hugging her.

 

From there we headed down Main St. 

 

We came upon the Mayor of Main St. and we was a wonderfully kind man who talked with us for quite a while.

We met up with our family member at the castle and got a wonderful picture on our matching shirts.  

I don’t think that I showed the shirts yet, did I?  My family is not a matchy-matchy kind of group but I wanted special shirts for one day and they all agreed.  I think that they came out great, what do you think?  I had at least 6 people stop me that day and ask me where we got the shirts so that they could buy their own.  My family joked that I should made handed out business cards.  LOL

Here are close-ups of the front and backs.

 

We spent the morning riding rides.  Despite being one of the busiest times of the year we really didn’t wait in many lines.  We planned the days loosely with a touring plan, we arrived at the parks right when they opened and we relied heavily on fast passes.  I think that the longest line all week was no more than 15 minutes!!!!      

We left the park after the 3pm parade to get out of the heat.  We swam in our pool for a few hours and then went back at night.We stayed until closing!

    

Lauren really wanted a hair wrap so she used her money to buy it for herself.  Kathryn tried on more hats while we waited!  LOL

We managed to get an amazing spot for the light show on the castle as well as the fireworks.  We bought the kids each a Mickey ice cream bar but since it was still in the upper 90’s they melted faster than they could eat them.  Thank goodness for baby wipes!  LOL

We left the park at about 11:30.  Lauren and Kathryn were both pooped and begged to ride in the stroller.  They both promptly fell asleep.  Notice their 3year old brother walking out while his big sisters slept!
