Day 3 Magic Kindgom Part 1

We woke up early excited for the Magic Kingdom! We walked over to the Ice Cream Palace for eggs, toast and juice. We heard it was going to be a rainy day but we were hoping for the best. We left about 9:30 for MK. (It was REALLY hard to get up earlier with the 3 hour time difference!) What we were not prepared for was the 20 minute wait in the parking area just to park, the 10 minute wait for the tram and the 30 minute wait for the boat!

We FINALLY made it in at 11:30! Just in time for a short 5 minute parade. The kids loved it though! We then walked toward the castle and at noon was a performance at the castle so we watched it. The kids loved watching it. We then headed for the teacups and Ariel's Grotto. We all walked in to go on the ride then Trev had a change of heart at the last minute crying because he did not want to go on the ride! So the others went ahead and I stayed behind with Trev. It was SUPER hot so we stayed in the walkway at the entrance instead of waiting outside. The girls LOVED it!! I really wished I could have gone but we would not have time to go back.

We went and put on more sunscreen since it was SO hot... Little did we know we could have waited for that... About 10 minutes later the skies opened up and it was POURING!!!! We were soaked within a couple minutes even though we got our ponchos on as fast as we could! The kids had fun stomping in the puddles. We decided to head for Monsters Laugh factory since it was dry in there. After about an hour the rain decided to stop (for now anyway). HUGE puddles were everywhere! of course the kids had to continue stomping in them as we walked over to Buzz Lightyear. The kids enjoyed shooting all the targets! We then went and drove cars... Good thing the kids are a few years from getting their licenses! They are crazy drivers! We then went on the Pirates of the Caribbean. I think that was Kara's favorite ride so far. Trev again got scared and did not want to go on... Scott stayed behind this time and eventually Trev got on. A CM gave him a sword for being brave and going on it... Trev did enjoy the ride was he tried it.

We came out and it started to rain again!! Not normal rain but the torrential downpours! The skies decided to open up again!! Our feet hadn't even dried out from the first time it poured on us!
