Disney: Day 3: {Magic Kingdom}

We were up for our character breakfast at Chef Mickey's!  It did not disappoint.

Favorite of the Day: Meeting Ariel and going in her cave

We had a plan going into our first day at Magic Kingdom to not rush and take our time.  We did Fantasyland, Adventureland and part of Frontierland.  We knew we would be there for two days and we wanted to enjoy it, because it is the busiest park!

 

We watched the little show as the "park" opened.  I will admit, I had goosebumps as the fireworks went off at 9am to open the park.  Magic Kingdom is by far the most spectacular!
Dylan and I went straight to New Fantasyland to ride The Little Mermaid and meet Ariel in her grotto.
In all of the dark/black light rides he would say, "Look, my shoes glowed up!"

Dylan was not the "lucky" one to pull out the sword of the stone, but he sure tried!

 Daddy and Dylan rode the tea cups.  (Mama doesn't like to go in circles so I sat this one out.)

We met Cinderella & Aurora (Sleeping Beauty).  We laughed because he acted very shy around the pretty princesses!

 We rode it's a small world, what a classic ride at Disney!

We closed out the morning with Goofy's Barnstormer (Dylan's first roller coaster ride!) and Dumbo the Flying Elephant.  

Then we went back to the resort for naps.  Dylan was tired!  After a great rest, we were back to Magic Kingdom for a few hours!

Dylan climbed through Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse to end our day.  (no picture) But he told us as we were leaving, "I wanna stay here for 20 days!"

Dylan was in bed and asleep again by 8:15pm!
