First stop: Magic Kingdom






We checked into the hotel and headed to our dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern. We rode our first ride, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, the same ride I rode when I was Ethan and Rachel's age, as will be the case with many of the rides. Then we rode Cinderella's Carrousel and the Mad Party Tea Cups. Well, Jason, Ethan and Rachel rode the tea cups; I can't handle the spinning. We were pretty tired from being up early and it was late so we headed back to the hotel and got a good nights sleep. Extra Magic Hours are the best idea, we were right back at the Magic Kingdom at 7:00 the next morning and rode more rides in one hour than some people stand in line for to ride all day. Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin is really neat, we raced around the Indy Speedway, and rode the Astro Orbiter twice. Monster's Inc. Laugh floor was funny because Ethan and I were featured as the human with two heads, he was sitting in my lap and they put us up on the big screen and everybody got a laugh out of that, almost filled the laugh tank. Finally it was time for what Rachel had been waiting for, her appointment at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. We headed to Cinderella's castle for a transformation complete with hair, make-up, and pixie dust. Ethan even got the "cool dude" look, complete with painted hair and pirate's treasure sprinkles. Then it was time for our Royal Table lunch with Cinderella and all the princesses. When we took pictures with Cinderella, Rachel asked to see her glass slippers only to find out that she didn't have them on because she leaves them in a special place in her room. After lunch we went back to the hotel to take a nap and get ready for the next stop, Epcot.
