Magic Kingdom

On our second day of our trip we went to Magic Kingdom. It was awesome. I will also give everyone a tip if you are planning a trip to Disney. STAY AT A RESORT ON PROPERTY!!! I say this because Disney is in Florida, which means it is hot and humid. You don't have to worry about parking or thinking you have to stay the entire day and night to get everything in. This was a life saver. We woke up and went to the park, and then after lunch I could take Payton back to the room to cool down or take a nap. After we were rested then we just hopped back on the monorail and met up with everyone.

Also, at Disney you can rent a stroller for the entire time you are there. This was another life saver because I didn't have to haul Payton's stroller on the monorail. Once inside the park, you go to the stroller rental and pick up your stroller for the day.

This is how Cooper and Payton "rode" through Disney.




Their serious face.



Yes, that is a leash that Payton is wearing. You can judge me if you want. I don't care. The fact of the matter is Payton is very mobile and doesn't want to hold my hand the entire time she is out of the stroller. I know people have strong opinions on the matter, but here is my two cents. Payton was fine with, I didn't lose my child, and must importantly it allowed her to be mobile and not confined in the stroller and throwing fits.




The tea pots.



Cooper and Stephanie in their teapot.




To be honest, I don't have a lot of pictures from Magic Kingdom. I think trying to keep up with Payton and keep her cool, I had my hands full and wasn't able to capture a lot of pictures. We did ride Dumbo, the tea pots and one other ride. We had lunch at Disney and I took Payton back to the room for a nap. We then went back to the park and met up with the rest of the family for dinner. Then there was the electric parade. Two thumbs up. Payton loved it. Also, at the parks we didn't try to find the characters for autographs. We knew from last year that all the characters would be on the cruise, and any additional characters would be at the breakfast.


There you have it. Magic Kingdom.
