Day 1 at the Magic Kingdom

On Thursday we got up and headed over to the Magic Kingdom, Cameron was very excited and could hardly wait to see all the characters. Once we arrived inside the Magic Kingdom there was Daisy Duck and Chip N Dale. Morgan had her picture taken with Daisy and Cameron did Chip N Dale
Soon after meeting these characters we found Snow White and Pinocchio. Morgan took right to the characters. When Cameron was her age and his first trip to Disneyland he was terrified of them and we would actually have to leave and make sure there was not a character insight. When he turned 3 he started to settle down, now you can't peel him away from them.

I felt like we were racing from area to area to find the characters. During the day we didn't get a chance to ride many of the rides due to the very very long lines, some of the wait times were 2 hours, but we were able to get a few fast passes and hit the fun rides.



After meeting a few of the characters we watched one of the shows which featured Peter Pan and Captain Hook and Cameron couldn't wait to find them and have his picture with them. After scouting things out we finally found them.



















We were able to catch the parade the first day which the kids loved because all the characters are in it. After the parade we headed back to the hotel for a little nap and some dinner, and then it was soon back to the Magic Kingdom. When we came back at night we rode rides and watched the fireworks. Cameron was really into the rides this time. His favorite that night was the cars, that he and dad ride together. He thinks it is pretty cool that he gets to steer the car.


Morgan got to ride her first ride which were the Tea Cups and she was not a fan of the ride, or any ride for that matter. She just assume run around while Cameron went on all the rides. Cameron actually got pretty lucky and got to go on each ride twice, he would go with Rich and then with me.
The first night we pretty much shut down the park and got back to the hotel really late. The kids were exhausted and went right to sleep, I am sure they were having wonderful dreams about what was going to happen on day 2 in the Magic Kingdom...
