The Magic Kingdom

**Day One**

Friday morning we were so excited to see Grandma Beth ("Besf" in Luke language) and PeePaw ("Bee-Baw")! After lots of hugs, we headed out for breakfast! Their pins say "1st Visit".

Waiting for the Disney shuttle bus...we got to know this bus stop very well. ;)

After the shuttle bus, we took a ferry boat over to the Grand Floridian, which was where we were having breakfast. 

We loved the Supercalifragilistic breakfast buffet, complete with Mickey shaped waffles, at 1900 Fare. It was also extra special because of the characters we got to meet...

Hugs from Pooh

(Caleb kept saying, It's just a guy in a costume, but he still thought it was pretty cool.)

and Tigger

While Luke wasn't afraid of the characters at all, he got very shy when the pretty girls came along. Caleb, on the other hand, was as happy as could be.

This is it...this is what Caleb had been waiting for...Alice!!! 

Alice is by far, his favorite Disney character, and the main reason we had breakfast there!

Caleb also liked meeting the Mad Hatter, but was disappointed that he didn't meet the rabbit.

After breakfast we took the Monorail, or choo choo as Luke called it, to the Magic Kingdom. Luke loved all the forms of transportation around Disney, and always screamed when we had to get off.

Luke LOVED "It's a small world" ride! 

We rode a few more rides in the Magic Kingdom, including Caleb's favorite Toy Story 3 ride. However, it was really, really crowded so we headed back to the hotel for naps.

 A side note...Creed and I thought Caleb would love Space Mountain and he was just tall enough- 44 inches with shoes. Sadly, the ride attendant noticed that it was Caleb's hair that made him tall enough so they wouldn't let him on. Thank goodness! Wow- the whole time Creed and I rode we were screaming to each other that we were horrible parents for even thinking Caleb could/should ride. Ha! (Apparently I don't remember it from when I was a kid!)

**Day One, Continued**

After naps we headed back to the Magic Kingdom for dinner and to ride a few more rides. Thankfully the crowds had died down and by the end of the night, we almost had the place to ourselves.

Notice the boat docked??? If you can't tell, it's the "Admiral Joe Fowler." Pretty cool!

Dumbo was a favorite that night.

From Fantasyland we had a great view of the fireworks over the castle, and even though it was a little loud, the boys really enjoyed the show.

We ran into Chip and Dale at a dance party and Luke had a blast. He would have danced the night away!

Caleb crashed on the bus ride home. I guess that means it was a great day! By the way, at this point, Luke was still going strong! :)
