Disney, day 3

On Wednesday, it was off to Magic Kingdom! One thing has changed since we've been to Disney...it takes a really llllloooooonnnnnnngggggg time to get to Magic Kingdom...a car, to a tram, to a ferry (or monorail), then walk to the entrance, check your bag, then finally get into the gate! But what fun awaits once you finally make it!!


Here's Julie with all the kiddos at the entrance. Doesn't Daniel know how to do a great cheesy grin!!

Me and Michael and the boys. Everyone wasn't actually as grumpy as this picture might portray! :-)

Since our boys are a little past the age of going crazy about getting pictures taken with Pinocchio, or Jasmine, or any various Disney characters, there weren't lots of photos taken at Magic Kingdom. We loved Splash Mountain...rode that one several times thanks to the fast pass and the wheelchair line....and the boys' favorite hands down was Tom Sawyer island.

There were lots of trees, forts, caves, paths, running around and more than one plan/dream of buying an island just like that one for the boys' personal use! Any idea what the going rate is for about 10 acres of wooded property smack dab in the middle of Disneyland?? I'm thinking it's a little out of our price range! :-)

It was on Tom Sawyer's Island that Jonathan experienced the only real drawback of having surgery...it's just not as fast getting around the island with a crutch! And mom and dad wouldn't let him "lose" the crutch and start running around. So, he hobbled...and had a great time!

That evening, we stayed for the fireworks show (thanks to Julie and Mike for holding a prime spot on the curb for a really long time!) which was really great...corny, but spectacular nonetheless.
