Day 2
We started during Early Magic Hours at 8am at Magic Kingdom. We went right to Dumbo, which had been Abby's request. We learned quickly, that Abby's trouble with sharing extends to theme parks. She had no clue that we had to share with everyone around us. We were walking to Dumbo and she saw it starting to move. Se freaked out shouting "mom they didn't wait for us, they have to wait for us, they started without us!" It took her 3 rides before she figured out that other people could ride as well, and that we had to wait in line until it was our turn!

Maggie and Katherine also got their favorites out of the way with splash mountain and big thunder mountain. I fact, thanks to 'rider swap' they got to ride each one twice! We played until about noon and then went to the Grand Floridian for a quick lunch before heading back to the hotel for rest time.

HA! Rest time on vacation? Abby was not buying that one, despite really needing a nap, it took me about an hour to get her to zone out to the TV for 45 minutes, and that was all we got. But it was good.

While I fought that battle, Chris and girls spent some time with an animator, learning how top draw 'Squirt' the turtle from Nemo, and then they swam for a bit. (til they closed the pool for lightening, we never had rain)

After getting all cleaned up, we went to OHANA for dinner. It was delicious, even Abby and Katherine were happy with the food, and Maggie did try a few things. We enjoyed the wandering musicians, playing Ukelele of course. And the girls land I took part in the group Hula lesson!

Then it was back to MK to wait for the electrical parade. Let me say this, it is still as magical as ever! The girls loved it, convinced that every character who glanced in our direction was waving to only them! Aside from the man who squeezed in front of us and then took a cell phone call during the parade, it was fabulous!

Before bed, no one could decide on only 1 favorite thing from the day, success!
