We woke up at like 8 something… 8:15 I want to think.
We were headed out to the shuttles but jesse forgot his sunglasses and I forgot my phone so he made 2 runs back for them.
We got on the shuttle in decent time and walked in to the front part of Magic Kingdom after bag checks in time for the back end of the welcome celebration thing. It was really awesome. When they have stuff like that the music comes from all around you and it sounds so cool and gives me cold chills. It was awesome.
We got in and just walked straight to the back part of the park because people tend to fill in the front parts like fantasyland and tomorrowland first
The first thing we rode was Mad Tea Party
There were like 7 other people on there, and there was no wait, so it was awesome.
After that we were going to go to toontown but it was closed to open later in the day for some reason so we just took a picture in front of the sign there. Haha.
after that we walked past the dumbos but there was a HUGE line so we decided to wait to come back during extra magic hours. Haha. So we went to peter pans flight and it was pretty much great. I don’t know why.
It was just a really smooth ride, I guess… kinda felt like we were for real flying even though we were sitting in a boat. Hahaha.
Then we went to it’s a small world which was pretty crazy. It was like 8 minutes of the same song in different languages. Same verse. Kinda crazy. Haha.
After that we went to haunted mansion and I was looking at madam leota’s grave stone cause I thought there was supposed to be a camera in there and she blinked and I screamed and the worker lady standing there laughed at me.
The ride itself was pretty creepy. I don’t remember anything from 2003 except the part where there is a ghost between you. The dancing thing was cool, but you could hear the animatronics clicking above you. Haha
When we went thru the ghost friend thing, our ghost was sitting on my lap. I tried to film it but I think it was too dark. Haha
After HM we went to Splash Mountain! There were tons of signs on the way to the ride that said stuff like “last chance to turn back!” I was like dude, come on. Its not that bad. I think if I have kids that want to wimp out, ill just make them suck it up. Ha.
After that we went to the pirates of the Caribbean ride which I had never been to before so it was a new thing for me but not for jesse. But he didn’t remember much from 21 years ago. Haha
After that we climbed the swiss family treehouse. It was pretty cool except for that it was really crowded when we went on there.
We were walking towards tomorrowland when we ran into some kind of parade thing. It turned out to be the Move It, Shake It block party. It was really really cool. They told us to come dance in the street but then we didn’t really know what to do. Haha
We walked around to the other side and then a conga line started so we did the conga for like 5 minutes. Hahaha. It was pretty great.
We headed in to tomorrowland
and got fastpasses for buzz lightyears space ranger spin and then went towards space mountain. The wait was like 40 minutes so we were going to get fast passes when some random dude was like here let me save you some time and gave us 2 fast passes for space mountain. So that was pretty sweet. We got in in like 5-7 minutes. It was a lot better ride than I remember it. Of course I was in the front and front seats are always better!! Haha
We went to stitch’s great escape which used to be that Extra Terrestrial ride which was WAYYY scary. But the stitch one was not scary or anything… kinda funny though. My shoulder harness got caught too high and so I didn’t get the full experience. Sad. Oh well
After that we used our fastpasses for space ranger spin and I think we kinda accidentally cut line… oops. Anyway, the ride was fun. Whee.
We headed into toontown since it was open and stood in a slow moving line for minnie’s country house. There were these cute british kids behind us and one sprayed herself in the face and said ahhh that’s lovely. It was adorable.
We went to mickey’s house and donalds boat too, but they were pretty lame comparatively. We rode goofy’s barnstormer, which was pretty fun but I wish it would have lasted longer. Haha. I found one of those spinny sky writer things but didn’t buy it cause I thought I could find it different places in the park. Jesse got a frozen lemonade. It was good.
We went to the MK parade at 3pm- it was really good- I liked the music in it a lot. It made me happy and made me reallllly want to work at Disneyworld. Haha. So I got some pretty great pictures from that. Oh I almost forgot, when we sat down, some Spanish woman came over and started slapping who I assumed was her son… I guess he was supposed to be saving the seats that we took. Haha. Ah well! Mean old fart.

Pretty great timing.. they came together and in the middle of the flower thing right as I snapped the picture.
Somewhere in there we went to mickey’s philharmagic, which was awesome. When the food came out in the beauty and the beast be our guest song, the whole theatre smelled like apple pie. It was great. Haha
When we came out of there, it had been raining so we popped our umbrella and went to the cosmic ray’s restaurant thing that had the veggie burgers and a HUGE toppings/condiments bar thing. Haha.
We ParkHopped over to MGM (now called Disney’s Hollywood studios) after that cause we would have until 2am to play at MK with the extended magic hours. Ha. So we went and went to the great movie ride (which was pretty great) except we didn’t like it when our host got taken and some gangster took over our car. Haha. Cute dude came back though so it is okay. Haha
We rode tower of terror and it was pretty awesome- I filmed most of it. Haha. There was some random comedy troupe thing there and they were pretty funny- I like the “Chinese” woman the best. Haha. We were going to ride toy story mania but it was already closed and then we realized that it was 7:10 and that was why. Haha.

This is for Allison. It was a display in the line for Great Movie Ride- I think it is authentic.... I THINK.
So we went back over to magic kingdom (by FERRY!)

My first ferry ride since Seattle. and I met a guy on there who was FROM seattle and knew exactly where Bainbridge island was! cool!
I was running around like crazy trying to find a spinwriter thing and didn’t know of anywhere to get one so we went all the way back to toontown to get one! Haha
at 9pm was the SpectroMagic Parade- it was okay…. I guess it would have been better if there weren’t 8 million people there.. haha. After that we went and got some ice cream. I got a double scoop of chocolate and cookies and crème. It was so big that I had to put it in a cup! Haha jesee had a coke float. It was good, too.
After that was the Wishes fireworks show- it was good. Tinkerbell ziplined from the top of the castle, so that was pretty sweet. Haha. We totally called that earlier too, cause we were walking along and were like I wonder what that huge long cord is? Yeah, I bet itd made a sweet zipline!! Hahaha
After that we went to tomorrowland and rode the astro orbiter. It was really neat cause it was way up high on top of a building.
After that we rode tomorrowland transit (aka the people mover) and it was actually pretty cool. You get to go inside behind the walls of some of the rides like space mt and buzz lightyear. After that we were going to go to carousel of progress but it was already closed. Oh wells.
We went over to dumbo and stood in a line even though it was close to midnight. Dude, take your kids home! Haha. After dumbo we took some pictures on the stationary dumbo and then Minnie and mickey showed up to ride and everyone freaked out. We went to opposite direction and rode the merry go round.

I just don't get why people get so excited about them. There are WAY better characters, ones that talk!! Haha
After that we finally found the flying carpets and then we watched some guy draw Disney characters on the ground with water. It was sweet.
We went for one final go on space mountain before we left for the night. I think it was about 1am. It was fun. Jesse sat in the front that time though so it was not as great of a ride for me. I only enjoy it in the front seat apparently. Ha.
It took us forrrrrreeeeeeeeeever to get on the shuttle back to the hotel. When we finally did, we had to take a detour because they were repaving the road, some road near MK. We got to see where the monorail trains sleep and where they shoot off the fireworks for Wishes. Then there was some random golfcart in front of us and our bus driver starts yelling for him to get off the road and laid on the horn for like a minute. Dude finally moved and we passed him, then the bus driver said, sarcastically, “did I forget to wish him a magical night?……… OH WELL!!” and we all laughed and clapped. Hahaha.
We got back to the hotel and took off our shoes and put our feet in the pool. It was pretty nice. But then I had to go to the bathroom so I went to the one at the pool so I didn’t have to go in the room and feel awkward if someone went in after me…. Haha.
Me and jesse met up after we took showers to plan out what we wanted to do the next day. After we were done, I went to go back in my room and my card wouldn’t work. I banged on the door but everyone was asleep. I was pretty mad/exhausted/mad. We had to walk alllllll the way to the front desk (our building is a decent walk away from said desk) and she tried to give me some bull about having a chaperone to get a new key, but since it was 3:45ish am she just gave me a temp and told me to come back for a real one later with dr f. psh.
I finally got to sleep at some point after that.
