Our Disney Vacation- Day 6- Magic Kingdom

On Thursday, day 6 of our Disney vacation, we went back to the Magic Kingdom. The day started out a little chilly, but it was a great day! It was the coldest day of our entire trip, hence the jeans and sweatshirts, but we were able to lose our sweatshirts by the end of the day. We rode the Monorail over in the morning and did the following things:

Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor show- this comedy show is hosted on a digital stage by Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc. It's an interactive, stand up comedy show where you can even text message your own jokes as suggestions that could be chosen for the show!

Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin ride- you jump into your own space cruiser and shoot targets to rack up points while you battle the evil Emporer Zurg. Loved by all!

Tomorrowland Speedway- Aaron got to drive (with Tim as his passenger) his own Indy 500- style race car on the guided track. He loved every minute of it!

People Mover- this one lets you sit down and take a leisurely tour of Tomorrowland.

Mad Tea Party- the kids were pleased to go around and around in the tea cups again!

Astro Orbiter ride- this was a dream come true for Aaron- spinning around up high in a rocket with his dad! Tim looked a little green after the experience, but Aaron was over the moon!

We stood in line for about 10 minutes to meet Buzz Lightyear. Maggie was just waking up from her nap, so she watched from afar, but even she thought it was cool to see Buzz. The boys were so excited!

Dumbo the Flying Elephant- Aaron, Maggie, & I rode way up high in our Dumbo!

Mickey's Philharmagic movie- in this 3D movie, Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck sweep you into the scenes from classic Disney films as Donald chases the Sorcerer's hat that started all the trouble! This was a really fun movie- we all enjoyed it very much!

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh- this takes you on a ride in one of Pooh's hunny pots through classic Pooh scenes.

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad- I accompanied Aaron on his first roller coaster ride and he had a blast! Ride this rollicking runaway train that rushes through the gold-mining, Old West town of Tumbleweed in Frontierland. Beware when the rails go clackety-clack because your car's about to run over treacherous terrain!

Tom Sawyer Island- Amy, Chris, & Asher didn't join us to the island on the first trip to the Magic Kingdom, so we joined them and showed them around.

Country Bear Jamboree- this was the absolute worst thing that we saw while at one of the Disney parks and the only thing that I can honestly say was horrible! It's a bunch of animatronic bears singing terrible, twangy songs. So bad.

Flying Carpets of Alladin- this was just as fun the second time!

Pirates of the Caribbean- yo ho, yo ho, a pirates life for me. This was also enjoyable the second time!

We had dinner at the park this evening so that we could go to the Electric Light Show in the evening. It was a definite wild card for us to stay past the kids bedtimes, but we decided to risk it and we were so glad that we did- we LOVED the parade! We positioned ourselves near the exit so that we could leave just before the end of the parade and beat the crowds out. The plan worked like a charm and we jumped on the ferry right before the parade was over. The kids were asleep within minutes of being buckled into the car!
