So Lucas had been here before, when he was almost 4, so almost two years ago. On that trip he was so in awe that he hardly talked the entire day... just took it all in. This time around the magic had kind of worn off and he was focused on the big rides. For example, we headed straight for the kiddie, yet memorable, rides in Fantasyland. Lucas wanted nothing to do with a flying elephant, so talked Jeff into taking him to Space Mountain instead. He only rode it once : ) Jeff said he was a little scared, but didn't really show it. He thought he was mostly scared of the dark than of the fast ride.
It took us a little while to figure out how Ellen planned on enjoying her day. We figured out that she didn't like being told when and where to have fun, but wanted to move and decide at her own pace. We thought she'd enjoy all of the rides in Fantasyland, but she preferred the characters, parades and pushing her bunny in her stroller around the park.
Nevertheless, Dumbo was officially her first ride at the Magic Kindom! She seemed like she could give or take it : )
Our next ride was It's a Small World, one of my favorites. She seemed more in awe of this ride with the music, water and little people...
Our next stop was at a show that was going on at the castle at 10:30am. Lucas loved this show when he came two years ago and still talks about the fire that Mickey Mouse shot at the witch. It was nice, but he didn't seem as impressed this time around : )
Splash Mountain! Here are the boys waiting in line. Lucas rode this many times today and said it was his second favorite, behind the mountain railroad train/roller coaster ride. I was going to go to, but Miss Ellen is in mommy mode and would cry every time I tried to leave. That was okay with me. It wasn't MY trip to Disney, but her's, and if she wanted to just hang with me then that was what she was going to do.
Luckily Woody was standing right outside of Splash Mountain, so we saw him a few times!
This kid. We spent x amount to get her into this park and her favorite place was this little kiddie playground outside of Spash Mountain!
Pics of us at Disney!
Time for ice cream! My mom has a favorite place that she likes to buy ice cream and it was about that time...
