Disney-day 3

The goal was to get to Magic Kingdom 30 minutes before they opened. That was before we met Anna and Elsa Monday night and were able to ride the mine train Tuesday night. We still got there when the gates opened but we didn't have to rush to meet Anna and Elsa (which was already at a 115 minute wait 5 minutes after the park opened!) or get in line at the mine train (which was also at a 45/50 minute wait!).

For breakfast we joined a few more characters at 1900 Park Fare in the Grand Floridian and then headed back to the park.

Since we had ridden most of the rides we tried to do more of the shows that are in Magic Kingdom. However, Emory is a HUGE fan of roller coasters so of course we had to ride a few. We have now ridden Space Mountain 4 times. I think it's her favorite!

Our goal was to ride a few rides, see a few shows, the parade and fireworks. Having been out late the 2 nights before we thought we would head home after the parade. We checked the times one more time at Princess Fairytale Hall...10 minute wait for Rapunzel and Cinderella! So off we went with a costume change on the way! After seeing those princesses we jumped in line again to see Anna and Elsa because it said it was a 30 minute wait...more like 50, but we were wearing our Elsa dress after all and this was going to be our last late night at Magic Kingdom. Chase and I joined in on these pictures! Can't wait to see the ones on memory maker!!

In case you were wondering how you get a six year old through an hour long wait...Netflix! Got to love technology. This actually started earlier in the day when the ride we were in line for had technical difficulties...pirates of the Caribbean...and we realized Emory had never seen the movie. She was able to watch the whole thing between 2 different long lines. It kept everyone happy, she was occupied and we didn't have to hear "how much longer?" 8,000 times! Win, win!!
