Disney World - Part 1- Magic Kingdom

Wow, what a whirlwind amazing trip that we finished this week -- Steve and I are both surprised, relieved and happy to have survived and actually enjoyed our time at Disney..despite an "interesting" solo flight for me with the boys (this involved a no-napping Nate and multiple air sick bags for Jack) to Orlando and multiple bad colds while there..

On Saturday we went to the Magic Kingdom at opening- the day did not start out great. Waiting for the monorail took about 20 minutes as one was broken - then after lines for bag check and to enter - we went to Fantasy Land. Both boys were VERY squirmy in our first line for dumbo - it seemed like this was going to be a LONG day. However, the boys liked the ride (we could see a HUGE construction site for the new fantasy land) and from then on we had minimal lines thanks to strategic use of fast pass (timed tickets to enter popular attractions). We went on the carousel, Mickey's Philharmagic, It's a Small World (they were not so impressed as my generation was as kids), Peter Pan, Buzz Light year (Jack loved this), the people mover, the Railroad, Country Bear Jamboree, Jungle Cruise (Nate was napping in the stroller outside with Steve for the Jamboree and Cruise), the River Boat. Finally Jack/Steve went on Thunder Mountain - Jack's favorite.

We ate dinner at a restaurant near our hotel and went to bed.
