Again, we got there when the park opened. Although we actually got there a few minutes later because it took our bus forever to pick us up from our hotel.
As soon as we got in the park, we headed towards Splash Mountain. Splash Mountain is another attraction that shows why Disney is so unique. Yes, it is your typical "log ride" but not really. Instead of taking you straight up and then down, it takes you through about a 5 minute story of Brer Rabbit trying to escape Brer Bear and Brer Fox.
We got to ride Splash Mountain without having to wait in line. As soon as we got off of it, we got a Fast Pass for it and went over to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and road it twice with little wait until it was time to go use our Splash Mountain Fast Pass. So, we got to ride Splash Mountain again with no wait!
It was while we were on Thunder Mountain Railroad that I think JP truly discovered that is was acceptable to be loud on roller coaster type rides. So, you better believe from then on he took advantage of being able to be loud in public by hootin' and hollerin' on intense rides.
Here is JP sitting on a rocking chair on Tom Sawyer's Island with Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in the background.
At this point in time, we headed to ride Snow White's Scary Adventure's. We decided to get a Fast Pass but discovered that JP had lost his key! (Remember- the "key to the world" serves as your ticket, key to room, and credit card plus you use it to get your fast passes). I called the number on my card to see what we needed to do and was told to go to Guest Services.
So we took the Walt Disney World Railroad to the front of the park. We talked to a nice guy name Justin about our situation, and he canceled JP's lost card and got him a new one. However, when he went to print the card it took longer than expected. Actually, it never printed, and we had to pick it up at our hotel later that night. So as a result of this inconvenience Justin gave us both 2 fast passes we could use on any ride!
Because we got these fast passes we were able to ride Splash Mountain one more time with no wait for a total of 3 times! Plus we got to ride Space Mountain twice with no wait using the fast pass we obtained from Justin and one we obtained in the normal manner, therefore avoiding the 60 minutes wait!
One of JP's favorite things about Magic Kingdom was the massive turkey leg he ate for lunch.
Other attractions we enjoyed at Magic Kingdom:
Haunted Mansion (JP's favorite)
Country Bear Jamboree (The attraction JP's brother Michael could not stop talking about when he came to visit us the week before we left for Disney World).
Minnie's Country House
Peter Pan's Flight
Pirates of the Carribean
Swiss Family Robinson Tree House
The Hall of Presidents
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
Walt Disney World's Carousel of Progress (I love this one! It's a great big beautiful tomorrow...)
We had so much fun at Magic Kingdom. We loved the fact that we never had to wait more than 20 minutes in line and got to ride so many rides multiple times.
That night we were pretty tired so we went off Disney property to eat at Chickfila and then went to bed pretty early.
