Magic Kingdom II

Day two of Magic Kingdom was hitting things we hadn't seen and going back to some of our favorites. We also went to Mickey's Magic Christmas Party that evening. The decorations and Christmas music filtered in all through the park was awesome!

That night at the Christmas party they made it snow on Main Street. Some people were really going bonkers over the fake fluff. We Midwesterners appreciated how pretty it was but were glad to see it wasn't accumulating!

Riding Buzz Light Year ride...again.

The kids were excited to run in to the trash can again! He kept teasing and taunting Tessa this time around!

Now this picture had a lot of potential. Look at that backdrop? But yes Nate looks rather red-eyed and miserable because we had just tortured him by taking him on Lilo & Stitch. This ride goes pitch black for a minute (a VERY LONG MINUTE when you are sitting next to a screaming, freaking out kid) and has animal-alien noises filtered in and your seats shake. It came with a warning that Troy and I seemed to dismiss as we had seen the cartoon before thinking "how bad could it be." Well, Tessa had no problem but our dear, dear chicken-pants Nate had a royal meltdown. Poor kid. He inherited this chicken-ness and fear of the dark from his mother. The rest of the week when the kids would act up we would use our awesome parenting skills and threaten the kids with taking them back to Lilo & Stitch!

Having a cool snack as Dad rode Space Mountain all by himself!One of these pics was deemed good enough for our Christmas card this year. This was just one of the 10 along the way to the one we chose. The kids are sitting on a sleigh along the Christmas parade route.

Here come Mickey and Minnie for the Christmas party parade!

At this point in the evening...after we had enjoyed our complimentary refreshments that in reality we paid for with our additional ticket pricing for the party...Nate was low on fuel, crying and wanted to leave. We reluctantly left before the final fireworks show.

In the end, we had to thank Nate for the timing of his whining...because we got to see the fireworks from the boat on the bay on our way back to the resort! We had the best seats in the house!
