Disney World Day 7

 

This was our final full day at Disney World, and we were headed back to the Magic Kingdom.  Since we missed it the first day, we went to the new Little Mermaid ride first.  I picked up some Peter Pan fast passes on the way and met everyone outside the Little Mermaid ride.  We rode together.  After the ride, we met Little Mermaid in her grotto.

Reed really wanted to ride The Barnstormer, a kiddie roller coaster so we headed there next. It is fun, but is a really quick ride. The line was short so the kids wanted to ride it again.

Next, the kids wanted to ride the teacups. While Steve watched them, I went and got fast passes for Space Mountain.

We met back up and it was time to use our fast passes for Peter Pan.  The boys didn't want to ride this the first time we went to Disney World.  This time, they were surprised by how much they liked it.

Next, we went on "It's a Small World"-a Disney classic.  It hasn't changed at all but it is still a cute ride.

We headed back to Space Mountain to use our fast passes and met a special alien along the way.

There were still more things in Tomorrowland that we wanted to see so we grabbed more Space Mountain fast passes to use later on.  We were very hungry by this time and made our way to the new Beast's castle for lunch.  The castle is so pretty inside, and the food is good too.

After lunch we headed to Liberty Square to ride the Haunted Mansion and then to Adventureland to ride the Jungle Cruise.

After the Jungle Cruise, it was princess time.  Reed, Riley and I got in line to meet Princess Tiana from "The Princess and the Frog".  Steve, Cole and Trent went to get fast passes for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. 

While waiting in line, Reed made it clear that he wanted Tiana to sign his autograph book but did not want to be in any pictures with her.  Once Tiana heard this, She put both arms around Reed and gave him a giant kiss.  Ha!

After meeting Tiana, we had to get back to Tomorrowland to use our fast passes for Space Mountain.   After Space Mountain, we rode Buzz Lightyear and The Tomorrowland Transit Authority.

The kids really liked this ride.  Cole and Reed wanted to ride again.   Steve went with them.  Trent, Riley and I went to meet Princess Merida from "Brave". The line for Merida was a long one, but Riley was determined to meet her since Merida was the only princess she still had not seen.  Once Steve and the boys were done with the ride, they used the fast passes we got earlier and took two rides on Big Thunder Mountain railroad.

After meeting Merida, we headed over toward Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and waited for Steve, Cole and Reed to be finished.  We got more fast passes for Big Thunder Moutain Railroad since Trent and Riley were both upset that they missed going on it.

 

We watched the Country Bear Jamboree in Frontierland and then headed to Adventureland to do the attractions we had missed there.  We climbed through the Swiss Family Tree House and watched the Enchanted Tiki Birds (never again).

After the Tiki birds, we went back to Frontierland to use our Big Thunder Mountain Railroad fast passes.  We got another set of fastpasses, ate dinner and rode it again.  Steve got some funny pictures of us while on the ride. (You can't see Reed because he is sitting by Steve.)

It was now time to get a seat for "Celebrate the Magic", the castle projection show and "Wishes", the firework show.  We found a great place to sit right in front of the castle and waited about 45 minutes for the shows to begin.  We again loved "Celebrate the Magic" and "Wishes" is our favorite nightime show in Disney World.

Wishes


The park was still open for a little while after Wishes, but we decided to head back to the resort.  We needed to get everything packed.  We were returning to the Magic Kingdom the next day for a few hours before we left.
