Here's our favorite Disney character....Donald...
Of course, Mickey was there too...
And if Mickey's there, then so is Minnie...
Don't you love the way Pluto signs a book...
So, as soon as we had gotten all the autographs (Goofy wasn't there), we boarded the monorail and headed to the Magic Kingdom. Kevin loved riding the monorail...
As soon as you walked into the Magic Kingdom, you could tell that it was Fall. The had all the areas decorated for the Halloween shows. I wanted to get some of the picture windows that were decorated, but with the streets so crowded and we were constantly on the go, I didn't. Maybe next year...
As you can see over the castle, there was a huge chance of rain. Of course, we didn't mind that at all. It was so hot, something around 95 degrees....probably closer to 100 with the heat index. So, once it did start to rain, boy did it feel good...
This was the Move It, Shake It Celebrate It Street Party. So cool....
Waiting in line to ride Pirates of the Caribbean (I was looking for Johnny Depp)...
Splash Mountain....great way to cool off....
This is the Celebrate A Dream Come True Parade. We were dripping with sweat, but Kevin had a blast. We even had dancers stop in the middle of the parade and wish Ken and I a happy anniversary. They really make you feel special...
Here is Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Kevin loved it and so did we...
It's a small world ride. I remember riding this when I was 13...
The Tomorrowland Transit Authority ride. It was nice just to sit back, relax and be in the shade for a while...
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh....
The Haunted Mansion. Ken and I loved this ride, Kevin didn't really care for it much (I think it scared him). I wanted to ride it at the Halloween party, but I ended up sick and didn't feel like it. Just my luck, huh?
It was getting late and we had reservations for dinner in another resort. So, as we were leaving, I caught a glimpse of the Castle at night....kind of spooky....
So, we climbed aboard a boat and rode over to the Wilderness Lodge. Let me tell you, if we could afford it, this is the place we'd stay. You feel like you are in some national park out west...
Tonight, dinner was at the Whispering Canyon. Chef Eddie was incredible! He made Kevin feel so great and really put our worries to ease. During dinner, they also announced that it was our anniversary, had us stand up and everyone yell "congratulations", and then surprised us with 2 glasses of champagne on the house. Oh, and the food was great too! We will definitely eat here again, probably a couple of times during the next stay.
Well, that was the end of our second day at Disney. By day 2, this is already one of the best trips we had ever been on. Too bad you just can't live IN Disney. Spending all day acting like a kid, playing, relaxing, eating....sounds pretty good to me. Well, better catch a ride back to the Sports Resort and get some rest. Until the next day...
