My Disney Dreaming: Day 2 - Magic Kingdom!

This is the day that I knew was going to be hard energy wise. We had an early morning reservation at Chef Mickey, and after our LONG day yesterday I thought it would be hard, but it worked out just fine!

We woke up at 5:30 and were out door at 6:00. The day before I spoke with the Concierge service about how to get to the Contemporary for the 7am Chef Mickey, and they said to be out at the bus to Magic Kingdom by 6:15 and ask the driver if he can drop us off at the Contemporary. So we got to the bus, we asked the drive and he said yes! HOWEVER, when we were en-route he found out that because of the marathon being run at that time he was being detoured to the Ticket and Transportation Center! So, now, when we got to the Ticket and Transportation Center it was 7, our Chef Mickey reservation time! We had to then hop on the monorail for a few stops and get off at the Contemporary.

SO...we finally arrived at Chef Mickey's...35 min late! BUT they had prepared for people to be late, so it was (thankfully) not a problem! Chef Mickey's was awesome, just like last time. Great buffet, great characters, just great!

Then we got a few pressed pennies and were off, on the monorail again, to the Magic Kingdom!

We made it there for the opening show and zoomed right to some rides!

First we rode Peter Pan, not my favorite ride at Disney, but 1- I am not going to fast pass it and 2- the lines for it later in the day are crazy! So we rode that, then went across to It's a Small World and over to my fave, the Haunted Mansion! LOVE it!!

It was a very quiet morning at Magic Kingdom, absolutely wonderful! We wandered round checking out Frountierland then we did our FastPasses for Thunder Mountain! Love that ride, too...Rebekah is still unsure of it, but I think she really does like it, since she asked to do it again!

More wandering and enjoying the atmosphere. I got a Dole Float and Rebekah got a Dole Whip then headed to our next FastPass, the Mine Train! I really liked this ride, but it was WAY too short! The ride was smooth and fast, the seats were not really that comfy, but the ride was so short (and fun) that I did not really notice it.

Next Rebekah and John rode the teacups (I would of totally passed out!) and then Rebekah and I rode the carousel.

By this time we needed to do something not moving so we went in and watched Mickey's Philharmagic leaving us enough time to wander a few shops before Rebekah's Bippity Boppity Boutique!

After BBB we wandered through the shops on Main Street on our way back to our resort for lunch, homework time for Rebekah and a rest for us!

Bus ride back to Magic Kingdom

Back to Magic Kingdom! We hopped on the train and took it over to Fantasy Land and went to Belle's Enchanted Tales with our last FastPass.

With a quick stop in Gastons Tavern, we grabbed a Le Fou's Brew and headed over to Tomorrowland to ride my all time favorite ride Carousel of Progress! With a hop on the People Mover, we decided it was cold (60) and windy and headed back to POP! We had thought of maybe going to Disney Springs, but we were WAY too tired.

We had a late 8pm supper. I had the Chicken Parmesan with beans, John had the Sesame Chicken and Rebekah had Pasta Alfredo. I also majorly splurged and got the King Cupcake for dessert. It is a chocolate cupcake with banana custard filling frosted with peanut butter frosting and topped with bacon. Wow, is all I have to say, it was pretty amazing...a once per trip kind of thing!
