I just love Disney and when 16 members of my family were there I had to find a way to go, for at least 1 day. So, I picked the day they were going to the Magic Kingdom and then to the Mickey Not So Scarey Halloween party that nite. Though I didn't stay for the Halloween part, it was so much fun to be there for a bit and see all the costumes.
I drove over after work and hung out at the Fort Wilderness until pretty late, then headed to my hotel for a quick nites sleep. I was too excited to sleep much, but I tried. Up early, showered, checked out and on the road...got to the Magic Kingdom about 8a....but they let me in....woohoo!! Lots of others were there, my family was not yet, but that's ok, it was fun to look around at all the decorations.
The decorations were just gorgeous...
It was a rainy day but we didn't let that bring us down, we kept going.
The Dwarf Mine Train ride....woohoo.
While some of us rode the Min Train, others were visiting the Princesses
Ella and Cindy's first Disney ride ever....a perfect choice...Pooh.
We got the rainy day parade at noon....but it was cute, but not like the big one.
The on to The Buzz Lightyear ride...
We all had fun, not sure who won....but who cares.
We did a few more things then they all left the park to rest, take naps and change into costumes for the evening. I stayed in the park and did some "adult" Disney. I got on the train and headed over to Frontierland and Liberty Square. The afternoon parade was about to start...it was great.
The princesses....
Anna and Elsa....
Little Mermaid
Tinkerbell.....Hello Tink
From the movie Brave
Not sure what this dragon is from but he was cool...fire breathing and all...
And the Dwarfs...
Snow White....lovely
Alice in Wonderland..

And....Mr. and Mrs...Mouse....

Chip and Dale
After the parade I got something to eat and chilled a bit.
Then I made my way around to Adventureland and to the Enchanted Tiki Room.
Standing in line this cute, silly bird talked to us.
This was a cute show with birds that looked very real, and did a great show.
Very colorful and lively.
Even the totem pole came alive...
Cute show....
Then it was time to ride the Liberty Square Riverboat.
Tom Sawyer Island landing....
The riverboat went around the Tom Sawyer Island....so much detail on the island and along the shoreline...Disney style.
"Deer" along the river...
Old fisherman's cabin
The Indians settled here long ago
Drying the animal skins...
This is where some miners have stopped to dot he wash and rest. The riverside was like a trip through time.
Almost back to the dock and we went past the Haunted Mansion...
The Liberty Bell was a great relaxing ride...even in the rain....
Then I went to see The Country Bear Jamboree, cute, but probably not a repeat
After this, I headed back to the front so I could meet them when they came back in.
Enjoyed sitting in a rocking chair for a while watching all the costumes coming in...then my crew showed up....oh my....they got into it...BIG TIME.
Shea aka Snow White, finally got her 7 Dwarfs
But later got to pose with the REAL ones...Disney really does make dreams come true
The cutest Baby Dwarf...
The Carter Clan
The Perez Family
The original 5 Stevens

Then I had to leave and they were off for more fun...
And their fun continued....
And on to EPCOT the next day...
Quinon loves his Ella girl..
The girlies get crazy with hands up on the Monorail...woohoo
It was a busy 3 days for them, and 1 day for me, but what a blast.
Disney...we'll be back....
