Disney World Day Two - The Magic Kingdom

On our second day at Disney World, we visited the Magic Kingdom. Let me just tell you that if you are planning to visit anytime this year, make sure you are celebrating something! We were celebrating Marc's birthday and as a result we had fast passes the entire day. Not just your ordinary fast passes - we walked right up and went right in! Who could ask for anything better than that?

Another great thing about day two is that it rained. I used to feel sorry for folks who went to Disney only to have it rain. Now I know that if you visit in the summer - clouds and rain are your friend. Plus, nothing shuts down. And, really, we're used to rain so we did not miss a beat. It was kind-of fun getting wet and oh so much cooler!

Unfortunately, I did a pretty bad job of taking pictures that day. I got so wrapped up in the moment and in having fun with the fam that I forgot to take pictures throughout the day. Luckily, we would spend another day at the Magic Kingdom later in the week. And, I did get a few more pictures. But, just a few...

Here's what I got:

A shot of me and the kids. This was later in the day. How do I know? We'd been wet and I'm wearing my hat!


A shot of Marc with the kids. Hmm...do you see any resemblance between Kendal and Marc - or is it just me?


A shot of main street. Check out those clouds - aren't they lovely?


A shot of Kendal on the Jungle Cruise


A shot of Marc and Justin on the Jungle Cruise (note the wet shirt - that is not sweat - that is sweet, sweet little raindrops!)


Another shot of Kendal on the Jungle Cruise (with Marc's arm apparently.) Ain't she pretty?


A shot of the night parade. I did get more of these but they didn't turn out so great. Funny, we kept feeling like these floats should throw us something...



A shot of the castle at night.


And, a shot of the fireworks. We would see much bigger fireworks later in the week. Yet, these were spectacular in their own right. Did you know that Disney is second only to the US Military in the quantity of gun powder purchased annually? I believe it!

Again, sorry for the lack of photographs. Just know this: we had an amazing day together - just the four of us. We saw every attraction in the park that we wanted to see. And, we made memories that will last forever.
