Magic Kingdom

We wanted to get an earlier start to the day. We planned on leaving at 8:15am. Karen was meeting her mother in the park and had two bags to carry into the park and planned on putting them in a locker. One member of the party did not get up early, and we lost a ticket. We got on the road later than we wanted to and arrived to the park at 9:30am.

We had copies of the tickets we purchaed and we were able to get another ticket without payment. We took the monorail to the Magic Kingdom, went through the bag check and I spoke with Karen's mother. She was on her way and was ten minutes out. We waited for her in the park and moved on with our day after meeting up. Unfortunately we missed our morning edge to the rides. Larry and Karrie wanted to do the rollercoasters. We got fastpasses for Splash Mountain and waited 20 minutes for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Larry was 'hee hawing' and yelling 'yahoo' all through the ride.

After getting throughly soaked at Splash Mountain, we decided to walk across the park to get a fastpass for Space Mountain. It was 12 o'clock and pretty hungry so we decided to get lunch after. When we got to the fast pass distribution, we discovered the return time was fifteen minutes before we were supposed to meet. We waited for 40 minutes for the 90 second ride. Karrie and Larry seemed to love it, but it gave me a headache.

We had lunch at Pecos Bills at `1pm. We went to the Enchanted Tikki Room and the Country Bear Jamboree. We saw part of the afternoon parade and met up with our group at 3pm. We had a bit of a snag when one person fell on the way to the monorail. He was not hurt though there was a bit of a scene. We made it home and everyone enjoyed a 2 hour break. Marinated chicken, rice and veggies for dinner. Evening routine wrapped up with an American Idol viewing.

Tomorrow is a down day with some shopping and miniature golf planned.
