Day 2 Magic Kingdom

March 6, today was a busy day. We had to check out of the Orlando hotel and eventually check into the Daytona Beach hotel later that night. Today is officially Lexi's 2nd birthday. Here she is with 2 of her favorite people and of course her favorite wooby--aka BINKY. At least we have one still. We survived the trip because of it. We loaded up the car and headed back to Magic Kingdom. We had a hard time deciding which park to go to and choose to go back to Magic Kingdom to enjoy the rides one more time. We all had a great time the 2nd day.

Here's Lexi all loaded up and ready to begin her day.

She wasn't too happy about Maddy for some reason. She was sporting her birthday crown (compliments from my birthday from Ann) and her darling cupcake t-shirt. Thanks Ali!

We arrived at the park and got a picture with Maddy, her Cinderella glasses and the Disney Temple aka Disney Castle, okay I guess the temple isn't in the picture it's just Mickey Mouse ( I promise I washed it).

Here's the Disney Temple aka Castle.

First up was Dumbo. Awe, so cute.

Another favorite was the carousel.



And then here we are waiting in line for It's a Small World.
We were so excited to have Grampa join us for the day at the park. Later Grama joined us and then Nick, Tia and Emma.

And this is when Lexi was having a rough day, it's tough being a princess all day. Grampa was trying to get kisses from her too.

Are we having fun yet?
While waiting in line for Peter Pan, Lexi crashed on Mike's shoulder. We decided to leave Fantasy Land and head to Frontier Land for Splash Mountain and to meet up with Grama. While Lexi was asleep, Mike stood in ANOTHER line to see M&M Mouse. We left Grampa standing in line at Splash Mountain and came just in time to see Mickey.
We found Mickey Mouse sporting some "Frontier Land" clothing. Jack didn't want to come and waited in line at Splash Mountain with Grampa. But later asked what Minnie was wearing. She did look cute in her white outfit.

Lexi just woke up from a shoulder nap just as it was our turn to see the mouse and was a little bit confused. So no hug today but she was happy to see them.



Thanks again Ali for the darling shirts and of course Mickey and Minnie for always having your best smiles ready for the camera.

On a side note, I had to pull Maddy onto Splash Mountain the first time. She was so worried she was going to get wet. Today the weather was HOT and we were excited about getting some water to cool us off. Maddy LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Splash Mountain and says it is her favorite ride.

Do you remember the movie the ride is written after? "Song of the South" and was banished because it was racist.
I need to rent it if I can find it. The ride is darling, I remember the book being fun also.

Maddy also loved the Thunder Mountain Rail Road. Mike was in front of us and snapped some crazy pictures of us on the ride.

We left Magic Kingdom and headed to Epcot to enjoy the fireworks show and to eat dinner. We had time for one ride. The kids loved Nemo. Wish we had more time to enjoy more of that park, it was my favorite when I went to Orlando 4 years ago.

I did get one picture at Epcot in the shark from Nemo.

Emma, Lexi and Maddy

After the ride and checking out the aquariums, we raced (literally, Mike was sweating) across the park to get a good seat for the firework show and to grab a bite to eat. The show was amazing, fireworks on the water.

The park closed at 9pm, we took the monorail back to the entrance, the tram back to the car and and then walked to the car. This time with Lexi asleep on my shoulder and my back was killing me. We had about an hour drive to get to our next hotel/destination~Daytona Beach, New Symrna. What a fun day! Happy Birthday Lexi! We wore you out.
