Walt Disney World Day 4 {Magic Kingdom : The Rides}

Our first ride of the day was Buzz's Space Ranger Spin in Tomorrowland.  Jackson and I rode together and it was a lot of fun finding all of the targets.

We moved into Fantasyland and were able to get a ride on the Tea Party.  They love a similar ride on the boardwalk in Rehoboth so we were sure they would enjoy this as well.

These smiles are just contagious. Just can't help but smile among with them.

We moved into Storybook Circus for Dumbo and the boys were able to ride it a couple of times as there was a small line.

Next up was the Barnstormer.

The boys loved the speed of the ride and Connor was giggling because it was so fast and  fun.

We took the the train from Fantasyland to Main Street to get a spot for the Celebrate a Dream Come True show and parade.

All aboard.

After the Move It Celebrate It shake It, we walked into Adventureland for a photo opp with Peter Pan that never happened (next time - Peter) and to ride The Magic Carpets of Aladdin.

The ride was a lot of fun with the ups and downs.  It was very similar to Dumbo, which was probably their favorite of the trip.  The boys kept on pointing out all of the camels. 

After getting pictures with Woody and Jessie, we rode the train again back to Fantasyland to pick up our stroller.   We had enough time for one ride that wasn't going to require a FastPass so that we could get back to Main Street for our final parade and the boys selected Prince Charming's Carousel.

Walt Disney World Day 4 {Magic Kingdom : The Sights}

We entered the park fairly well rested and for a lot of fun.  The weather was beautiful and it allowed us the opportunity to explore the Magic Kingdom without having to think about our plans relative to rain coverage unlike Tuesday.

We went straight to Tomorrowland so the boys could take a ride on the Space Ranger Spin.

There was a lot of shopping to be had while we waited on our FastPass but the boys had ALL of the items that they kept asking for so we got lucky and didn't have to carry anything extra around.  

After exiting Tomorrowland, we went back to Fantasyland for rides and characters and to soak up the fun before we left.

A return trip will need to be scheduled once the Mine Train ride opens next year. 

Since it wasn't drizzling like Tuesday, we were able to take in a lot more of the signs and design elements of Fantasyland.   Jackson and Connor LOVE trains and animals so it was great for them to be able to see everything.

Everything was so well done and they are right that we do not need to come back soon.

We let the boys do a good bit of wandering around Adventure and Frontier Lands checking out what they wanted to see.  It wasn't packed and their plaid shorts helped easily identify them in a crowd.

The ride for the boat was too long for us to endure relative to the late afternoon timing and our hope to get a photo with Woody and Jessie.  But, with 2  potty breaks in the middle of the Country Bear Jamboree, both boys admired it on the way back and forth to the bathroom.   Next time for sure.

Walt Disney World Day 4 {Magic Kingdom : Pictures with Characters}

We arrived early to the Magic Kingdom for our 2nd day and had hopes of spotting Mary Poppins and the penguin but it was just Mary.  It didn't stop me and Jackson too from getting a picture with her.  Actually, it was for me but he obliged.

We entered Pete's Silly Side Show to catch up with some more characters.  The wait wasn't as long as some of the others but toddlers are antsy.

First up was Goofy the Great.

Giving Goofy some high fives.

We moved on to Donald.

At this point, Connor was anxious for Minnie and Jackson wanted to get back to the rides. So, Donald was not all that well received this time.   He did get high fives.

We moved on to Daisy and struggled to get Connor to cooperate for the picture. And, the Minnie is in sight factor for Connor.  Jackson did pose but was desperate for the waiting to end so he could get back to the rides and a walk through the adjoining store.  Sorry Daisy!

And, behold Minnie Mouse.

Connor was patiently waiting to get some alone time with Minnie.  One last pic with Jackson....

It kind of looks like they were sharing some secrets.  He was totally smitten with her and confirmed that she was his favorite.

She's blushing.  He must of over did it with the charm.

After not being able to catch up with Woody in Hollywood Studios, we wanted to make sure that Connor had his chance with Woody.  The adjacent playground provided a great wait spot for the boys.  I waited in line and Michael monitored the boys'  fun.

Connor was super happy when he reached the line despite Woody and Jessie having to take a potty break and Bullseye not being available for a photo.

Hi Woody and Jessie.

It was sunny and there was a lot of squinting when posing for pictures.

Saying goodbye.
