day 5 - Magic Kingdom, FINALLY!

When we originally booked our vacation we were arriving on a Saturday.  We had all of our details planned around that arrival date.  In September, Jeri called to tell us if we postpone our arrival date by one day we could receive free dining (think $600+savings).  That being a no brainer, we had to switch around one of our magic kingdom reservations, but of course those two reservations were on my must-do list, meal in the castle and breakfast with Pooh Bear.  Jeri got our reservations secured, but it meant we would not visit the MK until Thursday. 
It was a perfect day.  We had lunch in the castle (separate post coming) and a fairly empty park.  We were able to ride almost every ride with no wait time.  It was a truly magical day.  I hope it is a day the girls will always remember.  I remember visiting Disney World as a kid and most of the rides were still there (some of them should be retired).  It was so fun to experience them with my girls.  
Landry rode her first roller coaster, Big Thunder Mountain; she hated it.  She cried, no screamed the entire time and yes, it was her idea to ride it.     
We once again stayed all day long in the park.  We had front row seats for the magical light parade, but we were in frontier land, so did not have good seats for fireworks and the special lighting of the castle.  We did not make that same mistake on our 2nd day at MK.
