Magic Kingdom

My conference didn't start until Thursday, so we planned to come in a day early so we could spend one whole day at Magic Kingdom. Leading up to the day, we hyped up the Magic Kingdom for Kaila. But to our disappointment, Kaila didn't seem too excited. She seemed more shocked than anything. We asked if she wanted to get out and take pictures. She refused and only wanted to sit in the stroller. When we parked the stroller for the first ride, she refused to get out. I had to force her out of the stroller and onto the Winnie the Pooh ride. But after the ride, she wanted to do more. But she still didn't want to take pictures.

The girls in front of Walt, Mickey, and Cinderella's Castle (you can see Kaila's response to the whole thing).

Buzz Lightyear. Lines were long to meet the characters. Hard to wait that long in the heat with Kenna. And Kaila didn't want to take pictures; she was fine seeing them and waving to them from afar.


A parade came through Main Street, with Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Mr. Incredible, and Jesse, among others.
But during the parade, this was the girls' reaction:

The thing that was a bummer with small kids is that we couldn't do the thrill rides (Splash Mountain, Space Mountain, Stitch's Great Escape, etc.), but the plus-side is that we were done early. We got there right as it opened, did all the kiddy rides, realized we were done, and it was only 2pm. So we were able to get back to the hotel and relax in the resort for the rest of the day. It would've been nice to go back to Magic Kingdom one more time before we left, but our ticket wasn't a park-hopper and we would've had to sacrifice another park.

Yes, I think they are so young to appreciate the Happiest Place on Earth. Probably 6 or 8 years from now will be the good time to take them back there. That is too bad that Kaila didn't want her pictures taken with her favorite characters.
