Magic Kingdom at last!

Here was the scene the morning of our Magic Kingdom day. We are waiting to get on the boat to take us over to the castle...We got going especially early because the word was if you get there right for the opening, you get to see some extra special stuff.


When we got there, it turned out they had opened it an hour earlier for people staying at certain resorts (which hadn't been advertised anywhere) and wow, Alex and Rachel were frustrated!  Alex found someone to complain to and for all our grief, they gave us some fast passes and special VIP passes to go meet the princesses - they were all in one place!





I think Rupunzel was my favorite, very genuine and such a fun personality!  Caleb even got a picture with her!





A little later we were happy to see Jasmine - Presley's favorite for sure!

Here we are on the crowded sidewalk leading to the famous castle.  There was fall and Halloween decor everywhere.


 We didn't spend all day meeting famous people and getting autographs, we definitely enjoyed the rides and entertainment too!  Pirates of the Caribbean was a favorite and some of us did Thunder Mountain more than once.  Splash Mountain was awesome and we all really enjoyed watching Philharmagic.  The Peter Pan ride was also an agreed upon favorite.    




They all tried hard removing the sword from the stone...and we got to see the newly-opened Ariel's grotto and add her signature to their collections.




It was a tiring, busy day, but definitely magical!
