Disney World Day 6 - Magic Kingdom

Despite all of my advanced planning, I somehow missed that Magic Kingdom had Extra Magic Hours on Thursday, so the park opened at 8 for Disney resort guests. That made for an early morning, but we made it to the park in time to see Mickey and friends arrive on the train and see the opening show.

We went right back to Fantasy Land to ride Peter Pan before the line got too long. We also rode It's a Small World, Voyage of the Little Mermaid, and met Ariel.

 
 

We rode Goofy's Barnstormer, which the girls tolerated, but didn't really like, and Dumbo, which they loved. Dumbo has a playground for kids to play in while waiting in line. The girls really enjoyed that even though the line wasn't very long.

The girls wanted to meet Daisy and Minnie again, so we went to Pete's Silly Sideshow to meet them, Donald, and Goofy in their circus gear. Daisy pointed to herself, drew a heart with her hands, and then pointed to Tannah. Once Tannah figured out that meant I love you, she was in love. She keeps asking for a picture of her and Daisy with hearts that says, Daisy loves Tannah and Tannah loves Daisy. I promised her I would make a page in our photo album saying that.

 
 


We had a fast pass for Enchanted Tales with Belle, which is a really neat interactive show, where audience members get picked to be a character and help tell the story of Beauty and the Beast to Belle. Tannah got picked to be Chip. I was selected to be a picture frame, and Harper was a dancing plate, but she was too shy to do anything other than stand next to me.




 



 




 


 
 



 
 
 

Wei-Yand grabbed corn dog bites while the girls and I met Merida. The girls loved getting to shoot her bow and arrow, and they both hit the target!

 
 


After lunch, the girls fell asleep in the stroller. We had a fast pass for Seven Dwarves Mine Train, but the girls had been saying they didn't want to ride it. After much parental debate (neither of us could decide if we should make them go on the ride), we decided to bribe the girls. I took the girls to a store and let them pick out whatever treat they wanted that they could have after they went on the ride. Not my finest parenting, but the ride really wasn't that scary, and I was trying to teach them that sometimes we need to do things we're scared to do.

We went on the ride. Tannah said she didn't like it, but Harper said she wasn't scared. Harper picked out cotton candy, which no one liked and got thrown away. Tannah picked out this sour sugar stuff that both girls liked.
 

 


After the mine train, it was finally time for the big event: a fast pass to see Anna and Elsa. Both of the sisters were great. I felt a little bad for Anna because she was up first and the girls were so into meeting Elsa. Anna was great though. She chatted away with the girls about going to Arendale to give Elsa dance lessons.

Elsa was also fantastic, the girls were so happy to finally meet her. The girls wanted to get right back in line to talk to her again.






 

After meeting Anna and Elsa, we stopped to meet Tinkerbell. Tannah kept asking her where Vidia (another fairy) was.


 


 
We tried to go to Epcot to meet Snow White, but the Epcot Monorail was down, so we ended up heading back to our room for a quick break.

We went back to the Magic Kingdom for dinner at Be Our Guest in the Beast's castle. It was a really cool experience, and the girls loved meeting the Beast. He's really tall.





 

The park was closed when we left the castle, so we joined the throngs of people leaving the park.
