Magic Kingdom Day 1

We started the day off EARLY with breakfast at Chef Mickey's at 7:45am. I say EARLY because we were an hour ahead so in Mississippi time it was actually 6:45am. But it's our favorite breakfast spot and we love this character experience. We met Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, and Pluto aka "hot dog" according to Luke. Little did we know that Magic Kingdom had "magic hours" which meant the park opened 1 hour before regular time and we had to take the bus to Magic Kingdom and then take the monorail to the Contemporary Resort. Yes, we were late by 15 minutes to breakfast and the bus was CROWDED and the security line was AWFUL! Luckily we were okay and they saved our table at Chef Mickey's.

After Chef Mickey's we headed to Magic Kingdom and it was a HOT day. We packed a cooler with drinks and had snacks and took plenty of stops along the way in the shade to cool down. The boys were troopers and were just so excited to see Mickey and all his friends. The first day we fast passed Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and we did the rider switch so Will got to ride the rides twice because Luke wasn't tall enough to ride. He had fun watching everyone ride them anyways. We also did Aladdin's ride and some other rides for his size. We ate lunch at Be Our Guest, which is the Beauty and the Beast Castle. After lunch we rode a few more rides and called it a day after the Festival of Fantasy parade which began at 3pm. We headed back to the resort and let the boys swim and called it an early night. Luckily our plans for the next day were not as packed or early.
