5:45 am Jen awakes, showers, kids snooze
6:45 am Hutch awakes, Maggie snoozes
7:00 am Lee prods Maggie awake - breakfast in the room
7:30 am On our way...
Little did the general public know but the Magic Kingdom opened at 8:00 instead of the usual 9:00, therefore The Ezells were some of the first to enter the park! Woohoo!
We studied the guidebooks carefully and Jen prepared a plan of attack the night before based on the Fodor's recommendations for a "Blitz with Kids". As instructed we proceeded straight down Mainstreet, through the castle and then on to Fantasyland. First stop, Flying Dumbo for Hutch and Jen while Lee and Maggie went to grab a Fastpass for Winnie the Pooh.
Hutch was terrified by the Dumbo ride and almost didn't get on. Jen shoved him through the little doorway and fastened the seatbelt...tightly. Once moving, Hutch was okay and even agreed to raise the Dumbo car into the air!
Due to insanely light crowds first thing we were able to hop onto the Winnie the Pooh ride (took the place of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, sniff) and ride once with everyone and then Lee and Hutch rode again immediately. Jen and Maggie hung out at the Winnie the Pooh playground and caught a glimpse of Pooh himself!
From there we proceeded to Mickey's Philharmagic 3-D movie. Neither kid moved a muscle for the duration of the 15 minute show. It was a combintation of Fantasia and Disney movie music videos from their most popular movies.
Onward to Peter Pan's Flight...twice in a row, still no crowds! Hutch requested the carousel next, another ride two times in a row with NO waiting! Then we hit the Mad Hatter's Tea Cups for a quick spin.
Finally, It's a Small World, but only once. Maggie and Hutch were both fascinated by the singing, dancing, and spinning dolls.
More to come...
