Walt Disney World...Day 2...Magic Kingdom

An 8:15 am breakfast reservation at Cinderella's Royal table has us to Magic Kingdom by 8:00 and we were able to see the train roll in with Mickey Mouse and friends to open the gates!
All of my photos are a mix between my iphone and my slr.  This is an outtake of the picture with Cinderella.  An official picture came with the breakfast.  Juliette wasn't so sure about the princesses at first!  She is more of a Daisy and Minnie fan but absolutely loved the castle.



Of course Disney doesn't skip on the "magic" of it all and they made a wish at the table with stars and their wands.  The breakfast was actually fantastic.  Jamie ordered a crepe with crab and lobster which was so delicious!  They also referred to us as "Lord" and "Lady" and called the girls "princesses".
You can see the wonderment in their faces and that is one thing we enjoyed so much is watching them taking it all in!  

Here, Aurora is signing her autograph for the girl's books and it was a really big thing.  It was a huge thing when we didn't have the books to sign when we stumbled upon a character.  They said having a picture wasn't enough!   :)
I probably took more pictures of them interacting with the characters and receiving hugs then posed ones.  They were actually my favorite ones to get!



 Ariel was really sweet and told the girls that they had "scales" on their shirts.
A look inside...

Jasmine was super sweet as well and Allie said that she was one of her very favorite princesses!
Sitting with 3 very happy princesses!
When you arrive during the "Extra Magic Hour" and enter Fantasyland we discovered that the crowds hadn't arrived!  We took advantage of short lines and rode some of the classic favorites!  

Standing in line to ride, "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh".  It was very cute!
 On the ride...it was great to go on these multiple times...such detail that we missed at first.
Tucked in a giant seashell to see, "Under the Sea - Journey of The Little Mermaid".  Isabelle, Allie and Jamie are on the left.
 "it's a small world" (Isabelle's favorite along with Peter Pan at Magic Kingdom)
 Riding the "Tomorrowland Speedway"

On the "Astro Orbiter" in Tommorrowland.  This is one ride that I was shocked that didn't have a height requirement.  We soared high above Magic Kingdom.  Juliette loved it.  Isabelle and Allie did not!  Isabelle was terrified to look down!  
Such sweet sisters, best friends.

Stopping for a snack!  We did the dining plan and it worked out so well!  The girls loved endless treats and they were very tasty too!  The ice cream melted (along with us) so quickly in the Florida sun!
Allie (and Juliettte) on the "Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover", while Jamie and I took turns on Space Mountain with Isabelle.  Allie said that this was one of her favorite rides.
On the PeopleMover...in the far distance you can see the planets that is the Astro Orbiter ride.
Mid-afternoon we decided to go back to the resort to swim and relax.  This is on Main Street.

 Ready to swim!

 They had games, pool fun and music for the kids to participate in all day.  It was super fun for the older two...especially Isabelle.
