I threw caution to the winds and told my family that we're going to Magic Kingdom before the year finished. Afterall, we had $300 worth of tickets, no way was I going to waste them. So, we got up early and you would think that everything would go ok for us to be on our merry way. Oh no, not with kids. You know the strangest thing, I was more excited than they were at the thought of going. Me, the big kid!
We took the advice of our friends and bought food to take with us. Since I had a couple of errands to run before actually going, and we picked up my older daughter's friend on the way, by the time we were done with everything, we arrived there after 1pm. Boy, it was such a cold, cold day too, which was far out for sunny Florida.
That place is big and beautiful. We took lots of pictures which I hope to share once I develop them. The Christmas parade was great too. Seeing all the characters that you see on television and read about in story books was awsome. My 3 year old was in my arms the whole time, just gaping and clapping with enjoyment. As cold as it was the day we went I could not believe how crowded it was. One of the things I loved was that Fast Lane ticket. If the line is too long, you go to this machine and put your park ticket in and it spits out a Fast pass ticket so that you can get in without waiting on a long line. Boy, did we get a kick out of that.
It was so good to be able to do this with them. The children had a wonderful time. Now everyday my little girl goes, "Mommy I want to go see Micky Mouse." I told her we'll plan another visit soon. I can't wait.
