Day 2: Magic Kingdom

 I wasn't sure how Day 2 could get any better, but it did!  Magic Kingdom was Uh.Mazing.  I felt like I had a pretty good feel for the Fast Passes and this day we used both our bands and our room keys for rides.  So total, we had 6 Fastpasses which made everything quick and painless really (it took more work figuring out who would stay with Juliet while the rest of us rode, but a lot of rides she just stayed in Laura's carrier.  Usually we did 2 shifts for the rides (if Juliet couldn't ride) splitting my mom and dad up sometimes, but we mixed it up a lot.  We got to the ride and basically got right on....that and the fact that most of the parks were a 2-3 out of 10 (a crowd rating) on the days we were there.  Score!  We started off with the Adventures of Winnie Pooh, Dumbo, the Mad Tea Party, Tomorrowland Speedway, Barnstormer (Ansley's favorite rollercoaster), Ariel's Grotto, Peter Pan's flight, The Haunted Mansion, and more! We watched Mickey's Philharmonic 3D show that the kids adored and while we were near the Barnstormer, we hopped the train. 
It took us all around the park so we could get a better idea of where things were at (not to mention the kids loved it).  We ate lunch at Be Our Guest, but couldn't stay long because it was off to the Pirates of the Caribbean and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad for our fast passes!
Here they are on Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.

That evening after a FULL day of fun, we ended the evening with dinner at The Crystal Palace.  We ate a yummy buffet and the kids met all of the Pooh characters. This was the cherry on top of the day.  Those kids BEEMED and SQUEALED when the characters came out and LOVED parading around the restaurant with them!  Jansen was beside himself as his favorite lovey greeted him (he carries a Pooh bear everywhere).  Our cheeks hurt from smiling and laughing so much!    
I think this was Charli's favorite part of the trip!

After dinner, my marathon eater wanted some more snacks so we took a seat during the Christmas party and had a few goldfish.

This was the best family pic we could get.  I think Charli was still looking for food. :)
