We all rose early this morning way before 7 am. So I decided to take the kids to early entry at the Magic Kingdom while Troy was going to get our tire fixed. It had a nail in it and went flat. But Trey decided to go with Troy so Kyan and I had a mother/ daughter morning. So we was at the gates at 7:30 and had to wait till the official opening at 8. Only Fantasyland and Tomorrowland was open so we headed straight through the castle to get on Dumbo. We was on the 3rd ride of the day for Dumbo, that little of a wait. I was excited. Then we was able to complete Fantasyland before opening at 9. I was excited to get to spend this alone time with Kyan and watch her reaction on all the rides. She went over to have her picture taken next to the Sword and the Stone and I told her to pull the sword and you would not believe what happened. It came out. I kid you not, it did and thankfully I was snapping pictures like crazy. So I had to call Troy and tell him because I had never seen it happen. He asked me who it shocked more me or Kyan. I said probably me.

So by 9:30 the boys made it back to us and Trey and I got in line to do the carousel while Troy took Kyan to the bathroom. When he got back he said he just saw Mary Poppins going through the exit of the carousel to ride the ride. So he handed me Kyan and we took off after Mary Poppins following her till she boarded her horse. I walked up to put Kyan next to her when a GROWN man jumps on the horse. I was so ticked off and had to put Ky on the horse behind Mary. Kyan didn’t seem to disappointed but I was upset that a grown man had to ride next to her and not let a little girl. This wasn’t a young man either, he was in his 40’s. Oh well.

So after the ride we went to wait for Toontown to open. We ran and got in line for Goofy’s Barnstormer and we just missed getting to be able to ride with Goofy, Chip and Dale on the roller coaster. This trip I saw more character’s riding rides. Then the kids went to play in Donald’s boat and see Mickey and Minnie’s house. After that we decided to head out to the Animal Kingdom since we hadn’t made it there all week. Time just flew this trip.

At Animal Kingdom we went straight back for fast passes for the safari and grabbed lunch at Tusker House. Awesome chicken sandwiches too bad they are changing this to a character meal place. So we went on Kali River Rapids which the kids loved and wanted to do again but I told them we would have to wait a hour again. And they decided the Boneyard would do. The Boneyard is a big play maze around dinosaur fossils, it has water jets, and a dinosaur dig area. The kids was in there for an hour. I wanted to see the new Nemo show but people was lining up at 1:30 for the 4 o’clock show and I wasn’t waiting that long. The line wrapped clear around from the entrance of the show to back down to where I was with the kids. Crazy and they didn’t let them in till 3:45 I was watching my watch to see if they got to go in early. While the kids was in the Boneyard I realized we wasn’t going to make our reservations at the Coral Reef for 4 and I had to cancel them. After that we used our fast passes for the safari and they have changed up the dialog of the driver with the guy and the other lady’s voice on the radio is now gone completely. Safari was great as usual and we had the giraffe right next to the tram but no elephants was on the exhibit. There was still a lot that we wanted to do but the kids wanted to go back and swim and we didn’t disagree since it was so hot and crowded.

That night we went to Downtown Disney for some shopping. Kyan got her princess castle with accessories and we got a new sing-a-long video and another movie. Trey settled for some new cars and monster truck and I have to get him a Pirates skateboard that I found at the Disney store before the trip. I told him it would probably be there at DW but we never found one. I got a multi picture frame with Mickey on it & some stuff for my nieces and nephew. We had dinner again at Rainforest Café, this time we had a 30 minute wait while others had a 2 hour wait. My tip for Rainforest Café: If you want to eat at one choose the Animal Kingdom location as to the Downtown Disney one. It is always less crowded.

Went back to start packing up very depressing.
