My boys and Me: MAGIC KINGDOM- Days 4 & 5

As we entered the park on day 1 of our Magic Kingdom adventures Daisy Duck was there to greet us!We spent days 4 and 5 at Magic Kingdom. The kids had an absolute blast. By far Cole's favorite ride was Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin, which due to the low volume of guests (thanks Tropical Storm Fay) Cole and Gavin got to ride it at least 4 times. They also took several turns on the Indyland Speedway. Gavin really liked the teacups, and when asked he said his favorite ride was "the bus." There was so much to do and see but somehow in two days we pretty much got it all in, along with 2 character dinners. One with Cinderella and her crew and what had to be the kids favorite, a dinner with Winnie the Pooh and his friends. Gavin is a HUGE fan of Tigger so this was perfect!

Here C&G are in a pose-down with Captain Hook!

Cole and Gavin meet Princess Jasmine and Aladin.

Gavin got lots of one on one time with Tigger . While we were eating they had two parades in the restaurant, both of which Gavin participated in! This was our last dinner at the park and by far the kids favorite!

The kids were both super excited to meet Tigger.

Near the end of day 5 I found this great shop called Le Chapeau. What makes it so great is that you can custom design your own mouse ears. They have dozens of hats to choose from, and dozens of mouse ears and designs you can have embroidered onto the base of the hat. Cole picked a blue base, Gavin a classic black. They each chose 3 different Disney Pals to be adhered to the front of the hat and we had their names embroidered on the back. I even got one that says "mommy" on the back!

The boys had fun trying all sorts of hats on while they were waiting for theirs to be completed!

Part way through day 5 it actually warmed up enough to justify popsicles, but about 5 minutes after they finished these it started raining again and the outdoor show that the boys had just started to watch was suddenly cancelled!

On day 4, the sun came out long enough for a parade to actually happen! Here are C&G participating in some pre-parade activities!

Here's the guys climbing around the Swiss Family Robinson Tree house.

One of the places the kids really enjoyed was Mickey's Toon Town Fair. It's set up with 2 houses, one Mickey's and one Minnie's that the kids can explore. At the end is a large tent where they have meet and greet with several Disney characters. They also have a ride called Goofy's Barnstormer, it's sort of a mini-roller coaster for kids. Gavin was not tall enough to go but Cole was. There is actually a couple big drops, so it was quite interesting for Cole! He did like it and went twice once with me and once with Todd.

Inside Minnie Mouse's kitchen. The kids could press different buttons on things and make things happen like the tea kettle whistle etc... it was pretty cute!
