Magic Kingdom- 1st Day in the Parks

Our first day in the parks, we went to the Magic Kingdom.  IT was decorated for Halloween.  We got there before it opened and were able to get a few pictures.  Mom was probably as excited or more excited than the girls.

Here we are outside the gate,  getting our stuff organized.

And then Mickey came riding on the train.  They are not sure what to expect and it is all a little overwhelming.

The park opens and we are off.  The first thing we ride on is one of the oldest- the horse drawn trolley.

Here is our horse to pull us down Main Street.  i'm glad we got to do this first as I don't see the horses out very much anymore.

So far Sasha is having fun.  This is her speed of a ride.

The castle!  Our first pictures and few people are down here yet.

Then off to Dumbo.  We went there first, but there was still a slow moving line.

This was our Dumbo.  We all three had to fit inside here.  They couldn't go by themselves.

So far all smiles.   They liked this ride a lot, but it is so hard to get on and the line is so long, we only did it once.

Then we headed to one of Mom's favorite ride.  Winnie the Pooh.  This is his house.

` And into the ride.  A few frowns in the scary rainy part, but mostly they liked this one.

Of course, we had to ride the carousel.

Sasha wanted a pink princess horse.

Then off tomore rides and our first character- Donald Duck.  No fears here.  They didn't really like the Big Thunder Mountain.  Sasha said it ws too fast and bouncy.

Sasha wasn't ready for the princess and prince characters yet.  Leeza however has no fear.

We went to lunch at Crystal Palace. Both girls really liked it, but it was hard to get them to eat anything as characters kept coming around every 5 minutes or so.

Eeyore is mom's favorite.

We had the whole cast of WInnie the Pooh come by the table.  Then we acutally ate a little before round two.

By this time, they were really warmed up to the characters and were high 5ing them and hugging them. 

Then it was parade time.  By the time the parade showed up, some people had pushed in and squished Leeza out of her seat.  At least with the stroller, no one could push it away.

 Ariel, Prince Eric and Princess Leeza.

 Sasha almost got brave enough to go up there, but changed her mind at the very last moment.  Run Sasha Run.

 It took forever to get through the line to Tinkerbell's area,  This is Vidalia and the girls

 You were supposed to feel like you had shrunk to fairy size, but I don't think the girls got it. They really didn't know Tinkerbell that well from stories so they just got their autographs and looked at all the stuff on the tables.

Sasha and Mommy at the entrance to Adventure Land.  We were getting tired and Leeza refused to get out of the stroller so it was just us two.  We headed back to the hotel to eat and then go swimming.  It was a great first day at Disney World.
