Magic Kingdom Part 2

These are the second half of the pictures that we took at Magic Kingdom.


Mama and Joy after getting off "Small World".  The picture is fuzzy because Kevin was trying to hurry and get the picture before a bunch more people walked in front of them.  (I don't think that Kaelyn was supposed to be cut out of the picture either.)



Riding "It's A Small World".



I just LOVE some of the expressions, smiles and laughs we caught on camera over this vacation.  Everyone seems to be having such a good time and the pictures are priceless to me as I look back over them all.


Yeah... we didn't actually know that we were being photographed here.  We were taking a snack, bathroom, sit-down-and-rest break.  Oh, yeah, and I was trying to fill our insulated water bottles with ice water, thus the lid to the cup hanging out of my mouth by the straw.  When you only have so many hands or clean places to lay stuff, you do what you gotta' do.  :-)


Mama, Joy, and Kaelyn outside of Pooh's tree house by the Winnie the Pooh ride.


I believe this might have been another favorite ride.


Kaelyn in Eeyore's house.  "It's not much of a house but..." 
:-)


Playing in the interactive queue line.  We did the fastpass line for the Pooh ride but the interactive things for kids to do if they have to wait in the regular line are so fun that we went back and did that stuff after we rode.  Besides seeing Eeyore's house, you can knock on Piglet's door and hear him talk, play in Pooh's tree house, jump on circles on the ground to make gophers pop up and talk along with several other fun things.  In the picture above, they are pumping the pump so that "rain" will come down and water Rabbit's garden.  The pumpkins and other vegetables "grow" if you pump it fast enough.


Joy in Eeyore's gloomy place. 


Watching the night parade, The Mainstreet Electrical Parade.  Each float is covered in hundreds of lights and even the costumes of the characters that walk in the parade are covered in lights.


I love this picture.  Kevin took it at the very beginning of the parade.  Kaelyn is intensely waving at [probably] Mickey or Minnie on the first float as they pass by and Joy has a look of amazement at the way everything was lit up. 



Space Mountain - a completely in the dark roller coaster.



After Space Mountain, we all ate some ice cream.  It was between 10:30 and 11:00 at night by this point.  Then... they went and rode the teacups.  I don't do "spinny" things at all and neither does Mama but we happily took pictures and waved.  :-)





 This picture was taken at the end of the night.  We have quite a few good pictures of Mama and Joy and all of us in front of the castle after dark but we don't have the photopass CDs yet and the pictures rarely turn out well on our camera.
We were EXHAUSTED by the time we left.  I don't remember exactly what time it was but I know the park closed at midnight and it was somewhere around there.  Saturday, we had to check out of our temporary location, then we did some shopping until we could check into the timeshare.  After that, it was Cici's Pizza and relaxing back at the resort.
