Disney World's Magic Kingdom

Shooting lasers on the Buzz Lightyear Ride, we rode this ride twice because

it was a lot of fun for both boys, as well as us!!

3D Glasses to see the Mickey's Phil-harmagic Show.

The show was awesome, although it was our first clue that Luke wasn't going

to do well in these types of shows because it is truly a 4D show, because when

there is water on screen, you get wet. Blake & I loved it!

At this point in the day, both boys were very grumpy, but of course,

neither one would pose with him so I was their stand in, I mimicked them pretty good!

Waiting for the electric light parade to begin!

We loved the parade but Luke is so sensitive to noise, he looked like this through pretty much the entire parade and several other times throughout our trip!

One of my favorite shots



The parade during the day which got the boys so excited because we were able to see so many of their favorite characters, they had no idea what a treat they were in for!


The electric light parade at night is my favorite things about the Magic Kingdom.

Watch this for video for no other reason than to see Luke's reaction the the Captain Hook & Peter Pan float, remember the noise sensitivity is huge with him!

With our first full day at Disney ahead of us, we decided to head straight to Magic Kingdom. We received lots of advice from friends that had been there before so we had an action plan, first stop, the Buzz Lightyear Ride. After that, we realized when trying to go onto another ride that Luke wasn't quite 40 inches so that meant that he would be limited to a lot of the rides in the park, which in the end, wasn't a big deal because he was too scared of most of them anyway!

We made our way through the park, riding on all of the traditional kid rides (Peter Pan, Winnie the Pooh, Dumbo, etc.) and saw our favorite Disney characters. With the head rising, we decided to head back to the hotel for naps so that we would make it for that evenings parade and fireworks.

When we returned, we found a great spot for the parade and met some fun people waiting for the parade to begin. The boys were in awe of the parade lights, it truly is a "magical" experience. We made an effort to stay and watch the fireworks at Cinderella's Castle but with Luke's fear of the sound, it was just too much for him. The day at Magic Kingdom was a perfect one!
