Matthew and Lex woke us up at 5 to 7. Time to get ready for Disney, everyone is excited.
Got everything packed up (including a stroller that is here at the house, we will need it).
Hit Walmart to get some supplies for lunch, and water for the day, it was going to be a warm one.
Got separated from Ian and Kath leaving Walmart and that was the last we saw of them, well until the next morning.
Took only about 13 mins from the Walmart to reach Disney, parked in Grumpy 125 or something with a ton of other people, as everyone was just arriving as the park had just opened up. Walked to the parking shuttle at the end of the Aile and hoped on. Ended up sitting across from some people from Briton (tons of them here) who we found out rented a "villa" just down the street from ours (it is a small world).
Getting into the park was a breeze, through the gate and headed for the monorail, could have taken the ferry but we had taken those before. As we waited for the monorail it started to really rain, and then it stopped and then it rained and then it stopped (crazy Florida weather). Crammed into the monorail to Magic Kingdom, was a quick fun ride.
Off the monorail and then went through the bag check and into the Magic Kingdom. Entered the park and it looks like an old town, really cool. As soon as we got into the park there was the tail end of a parade going was really cool with the coordinated music and dancing through out the parade.
We hit some of the shops and purchased the kids some candy and then started to walk towards the castle, and then they started to clear the street as the parade was coming back. Was really cool best parade I have ever seen.
Once the parade was finished we made our way to the castle, just as we go to the square in front of the castle a show started in front of it, with singing, dancing, and fireworks. Had all the characters (well most) and was really cool. About 5 mins after the show finished, as we were trying to think about where to go next it started to rain. We found some shelter under a tree, not much, started to eat some lunch and then it really came down. We found some better shelter with picnic tables and meet some nice people who were there without their grand kids.
Rain only lasted about 25 mins and then was done, so we headed out to see the park.
To be continued....
