Our day at Magic Kingdom (and a maybe a few from Universal too!)

During our vacation, we were a little less than impressed with what Universal had to offer. Each day we were done with the parks by 12:00. Since we had a whole other day set for each park, thinking it would take 2 days for each park, we bit the bullet and went back to Disney's Magic Kingdom. Disney overall was our preferred part of the vacation. Lots of rides and shows and just overall better environment for ALL of our kids. I would be the first to recommend Disney and the Disney Cruise Line over Universal anyday. (If you planning to go and need suggestions... just ask! I will share the good, the bad and the in-between!)

Moving right along....

We got to the park around 10:00 and stayed until about 5:00. Chad and I were ready to stay til the fireworks but we had 3 very tired and hungry kids who just wanted to "go back the hotel." The kids rode most of the rides with a few exceptions (this was the only day with questionable weather - i.e. I ran halfway around the park with a sleeping two year old in the carrier so we could get into a show before the downpour occurred.) The rain was also the reason we rode "It's a Small World" Man that song gets stuck in your head fast!

Kids all got to give the parents a scare by showing what the future looks like.

At least Shawn "looks" serious about driving!

This one is a little scary!

Crazy driver ahead!!!

Unfortunately, Chris looks too relaxed and comfortable.

This is definitely a picture of the future.

AHHHHHH!!!!!

Well - Someone had to try to supervise this kid's driving!

In between rain showers, we were able to catch a few shows and even be a part of some of them. As the dancers started a "flash dance" in the street (started with one dancer and more and more just seemed to keep appearing and joining), Isaac also joined in. Had he known the moves, I think he would have participated in the first dance. Then the dancers came and each got a child from the crowd to dance. We were shocked at how willing and excited Isaac was about participating.

Making a big circle

Happy as a clam to be dancing with all the kids.

Mom and Dad Who????
