DisneyWorld - Magic Kingdom

Our third day was spent at Magic Kingdom.  This was definitely the girls' favorite park.  We dressed them up like princesses before we left because we knew we would be visiting a few.


We visited all of our favorite rides: the teacups, the carousel, and It's a Small World.





We went backstage to meet Mickey Mouse.  While we were waiting, I saw some signs for the Three Little Pigs and I thought they were so cute.

Because we were first in line to meet Mickey, he came out to get Lily and Claire.


 It was fun to see Mickey's dressing room.  I was playing with one of Mickey's hats and the cast member told me that it was magic.  If I put money in there, it would disappear.  I had a good laugh.
We stopped for a break at the Main Street Bakery.  The ice cream sandwich and cinnamon roll were huge!  I think this is the reason I gained 6 pounds this week.

Cast members would give the girls stickers a lot.  What kid doesn't love stickers?  Can you find all 6 of Claire's stickers?

We rode our favorite rides again.  Peter Pan and Winnie the Pooh were the biggest hits with the girls.



During the parade the balloon guy told us about "Sorcerer's of the Magic Kingdom", an interactive trading-card game they were beta testing while we were there.  They gave us a stack of cards with different magic spells on them (like Winnie the Pooh's bees and Pinocchio's sawdust) that we could use on our mission to defeat Hades.  Our mission took us to Frontierland to help Pocahontas.  Hidden throughout Frontierland were screens that would recognize our "key card" and then give us another video clue to follow to help Pocahontas. We'd check on our map and find the next location (like a treasure hunt).  It was really fun.  We got some more cards on a different day, but we didn't have time to do another mission.

After this, we rode the Liberty Belle Riverboat at sunset.  It was very relaxing.

Because we'd finished our touring plan for the day and still had some extra time we went to Tomorrowland and rode Buzz Lightyear and a few other rides.  Here's our little alien.
