 Up bright and early
today for an early entry at Magic Kingdom. We arrived just
before it openned and were immediately able to enter the parks.
The girls wanted to do some favorites again so we hit Peter Pan, Snow
White, Pooh, tried to do Raceway, but the line was long and only 4 cars
(not 8 like last time) were running. WAY to slow! Then I
grabbed some Space Mountain fast passes for Maddy and I and we hit Buzz
lightyear. 590,000 - I just can't break that 600,000
barrier! ;-)
 It was almost 9am,
so off we went to the opening of Frontierland. Mom and Maddy did
Splash and Brinn and I did Big Thunder. Brinn and I were in the
very first train, so we got out in time to go over for a photo op and
catch Mom and Maddy plunging down that big Splash Mountain drop!
Almost missed them because a blast of water just before their log got
me good! I was wetter than if I had gone one the ride! ;-)
 But I still got them, even if it wasn't centered too
well! Brinn and I walked over to the Splash exit and met them
there. Then it was off for a family spin on Big Thunder.
The wait time was probably about 15 minutes - not bad yet.
After that we headed toward Toon Town. I wasn't scheduled to open
until 10am, so we had time to hit Haunted Mansion first. I love
the Haunted Mansion - I'd have to say it is one of my very
favorites. Then it was off to Toon Town. It was definitely
picking up people wise in the parks, but it was a walkon for Goofy's
Barnstormer. We all rode it once and then the girl rode it two
more times together. Lots of fun. Then it was into the Big
Top Store to see some characters. They choose Daisy Duck, Pluto
and Goofy. The Princess line (Cinderella and Snow white) was OUT
the door! WAY too long and moving really slow today.
 After that we split up again. I took Maddy off do
Space Mountain and Kristen took Brinn off to do some shopping.
*I* got the much better deal! :-D We had four fast passes
so we rode twice again - once on each side. This is Maddy's
number one favorite (Everest is now second, pushing Splash Mountain to
third…) On the first ride she had the front seat. She
really liked that! On the second we did the left side which
we had not done yet (either day). So it was interestig seeing the
differences, and we both agreed this side had a slightly bigger drop at
one point. Brinn would NOT approve - if we could even get her
back on there! ;-)
We found Kristen and Brinn waiting outside and then it was time for
lunch. We decided on Cosmic Rays and had a very good lunch of
Burgers, hotdogs and corn dog nuggets. Dessert was cake and
brownies. I love this place for all the choices and the fixin bar
is excellent.
That finished us off for the day. The girls had done all they
wanted to do again, and after a few castle pictures we headed
out. The boat was just coming in so the trip back was not too
long. It was definitely a hot one and pool time was needed
ASAP! We all changed and headed down to the pool. I
came up a bit early and started the packing process. Got
everything organized and even two suitcases packed up. Glad we
won't have to do everything in the morning or late tonight.

After
the girls came back up Kristen helped finish up most of the packing and
then we got ready to go over to Epcot for a couple hours.
We took the
bus, and got stuck in a traffic jam for a while where they were taking
3 lanes down to 1! NOT fun, but we weren't in a hurry thank
goodness. Park was busy, and all the major rides had long
waits and
no fastpasses. Soarin was a 120 minute wait! :-O No
Way - we'll wait
for our Epcot morning! So, we rode Spaceship Earth which had NO
wait,
and then headed out into World Showcase.
