Walt Disney World Vacation: Day 4, Magic Kingdom #SchultzDisneyTrip

Day 1 || Blink. || Day 2, Part 1 || Day 2, Part 2 || Pin-Trading || Day 3

Welcome back to our Disney World recap! As with anything in life, slow and steady sometimes wins the race and when life gets in the way, these posts go by the wayside! I promise to continue recapping, so your patience is always appreciated!

After a mistake on my part that Magic Kingdom had Magic Hours this morning, we arrived raring to go at the park at 7:40 a.m.

I was ready!

Monorail trek!

Next time, Grand Floridian!

Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. He’s ready to run!

We went through the initial gates with Jim leading the pack, ahead of us, with the plan that he would run ahead to catch our spot in line. They stopped us at the arches by Main Street Station and informed us that they opened at 8:45 a.m. – NO Magic Hours, but the boys and I were still in front though. Where was Jimmy Gene you ask? He had somehow slipped by the workers at the front and was then wandering Magic Kingdom basically solo – initially unaware that they weren’t open yet.

He quickly realized he needed to blend in when the only ones in there were for breakfast reservations He stopped to take a Selfie with the Castle (duh) and explore the park and scope out the details for the coveted Frozen loves. When the park finally ACTUALLY opened, the boys and I followed the line back there to find Jim blending in with the crowd of people as he continued to speed walk to the front. At 9:01 a.m., we were the fifth family in line and by 9:05 a.m., we made our departure to the rest of the characters since everyone else was waiting for the sisters. HUGE Shout-Out to my hubby who not only was willing to run ahead for his boys, but even wore the matching shirts we bought. He’s basically a Rock Star!

Sweet Success!

After our super quick, 8 minute trip to see Anna & Elsa, we had the back of the park basically to ourselves since everyone else was waiting for them. We caught up to Ariel (character post coming on its own!), said hi to Alice and the White Rabbit, road Dumbo, Tea Cups and the Racetrack before jetting off to our next adventure.

We stopped for a bit to meet Tinkerbell.

Caught sight of Stitch and a parade in Town Square.

Jack paid close attention.

We jumped on the Walt Disney World Railroad.

Hopped off to give Jessie a chance to snuggle with Charlie’s Toy Story snuggie and then hopped back on the train to finish our leisurely ride around the park. Daddy and I enjoyed the much needed rest for our legs.

We had a fast pass for the Jungle Cruise and this breezy comedic ride located just near the Magic Carpets of Aladdin was the perfect rest stop after climbing up the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse.
