Up at the Crack of Dawn!! Part of staying onsite is that the park opens an hour early for resort guests...and since Magic Kingdom is the "main" park I thought we would take advantage of it! We get to the park a little after 8am...

and while we should have headed straight for Fantasyland, we got distracted by Chip n Dale...I got some PJ with them recently and Tanner has been obsessed! So we had to stop for autographs and pics!!

Then off to Fantasy land!! we head straight for Dumbo...with only about a 15 min wait!!


after we head for Peter Pan, and since there was a 30 min wait...we got Fast Passes and then walked onto Its a Small World - Chris was not excited to hear that song for the 5 min ride, but it isn't a Disney trip without riding it! ;) so we did, even McKinlee was like AARRUUUGGGHHHH...but then sang it the whole rest of the trip with Pal Mickey!

We then headed over to the Tea Cups, and only 1 round wait!! Chris actually had a big smile on this ride and McKinlee wanted me to take a pic - but ET covered it up..the rest of the pics are super dark :( Im not a photographer and the bright backlight and spinning was crazy on my camera...

After tea cups, tanner spots the cars...and well goes into a fit...since the park has JUST opened I figure we should Go ahead and do it! It won't do anything but get longer...and we still had about 10 mins until FP to Peter Pan...so we go and wait about 20 mins..and they let Tanner drive...Chris had to press the pedal but the "steering" all Tanner, Im surprised Chris didn't get whip lash - they had the bar in the middle and the car was back and forth hitting that car!! hehe but he was SO excited to get to drive!!


While on our way back to Peter Pan - Mamaw and Papaw had called...they were there and had just rode Space Mountain since Tanner was a but to short... they met us over at PP and the rain was starting...

The rain got everyone cold so we stopped for coffee and Hot chocolate - and the kids got popcorn. that made the rain all better!!

Then over to check out Splash Mountain...but since we were wet from rain the water ride didn't seem so good....so I still have never riden Splash mountain...but also right there with Big Thunder Mountain Rail Road!! and Tanner was tall enough to ride it!! so we do...and he LOVED it!! He rode with Chris, and Chris said after the first little drop and turns, Tanner said, "YYEEEE Doggie"


In front of BTMRR - asking to ride again....

We have to start heading back toward main street, more specifically the Crystal Palace - we get there with about 15 mins to spare, Chris spots a smoking spot and we spot friends, so we go get in line to pass the time...and YAAYY its Timon and Rafiki...I think Lion King is my ALL time favorite movie...so I was excited!!

Just a cute pic my my favorite people while we waited for lunch!

Winnie the Pooh, Winnie the Pooh...Eeyore and Tigger too!!



Piglet was there and McKinlee got to see her - but Tanner had started being a pain so He and Chris left as I 'paid' the bill...then we got a pic of the "flower" pooh and gang...they are all flowers!!

Mamaw and Papaw went to get FP's for Space mountain, while we ate! and then they met us back at the restuarant just in time! We headed over to SM while they took Tanner got FP's for Buzz and then met us at the SM exit...Chris wasn't impressed with SM, but McKinlee loved it!

We had a bit of time before Buzz - so we headed over to the Monster, Inc Laugh Floor - another one Chris was like whatever, but I think he enjoyed it!! we really all did!! Quite funny!! and I love how they put in audience in the story!
The trip before Mamaw and Papaw hadn't seen the hall of presidents, I thought I haven't either but after it started I think I did my sr. trip...anyway..neat to see what all the presidents looked like and how the seem SO real...much better then a wax palace!!

and what Tanner thought of the Hall of Presidents...I hope this isn't what school will be like...no really it was about 4pm and he hasn't had a nap - so the dark and cool made him pass out..VERY quick!!

Papaw had seen that the Carosel of Progress was Walt Disney's favorite thing...and so we went to ride, the ride was down for who knows how long...bummer...BUT look who we spot!! we go get in line!!

After visiting Buzz - the ride was still down and they didn't have a time frame we decide we have basically done it all, we are tired...so we decide to leave.. on the way out we get a grandparent/kids pic so that we have one...
