The plans for the next morning were to have breakfast bright and early at Chef Mickey's, which would give us time to hope on the monorail in time for the opening of Magic Kingdom. We did this same character meal last time, but it was so great wanted to do it again.
We then hopped on the monorail just in time for park opening, although sadly we missed the characters coming in on the train. I had been keeping up with the wait times on the app, so I knew which ones we needed to hit quickly. We walked straight back to Peter Pan's Flight and the wait time was already 35 minutes or something, although I hadn't seen it less than 60. We stood in line and only waited about 15 minutes. We sent everyone else off to It's a Small World while we worked on fast passes. Of course, not much was left but we did get them for the Barnstormer, Dumbo, and Rapunzel meet and greet. My best advice for Disney (with young children especially) is get there early, nap, and come back late at night.
The carousel was a huge hit, just like last time.
We did several rides and decided that everyone was tired and we would come back that night.
On the way out of the park, we happened upon the Sing it, Shake it! parade which is just the transitional characters in a very short parade.
Unfortunately, Harper and Anderson were asleep and didn't get to see it, but Payton and the rest of us enjoyed it! We headed back to the hotel and everyone got great naps! We were exhausted from getting up and going so early that morning, plus we had stayed out late the previous night at Epcot until they closed. We ended up not making it back until later than we had planned (around dinner time), but it ended up perfect! Everyone was rested and full of energy. We were able to ride so many rides including the Goofy Barnstormer and Dumbo, which might have been the two favorites of the trip. Dumbo has an awesome playground inside while you wait, and that was as much excitement as the ride itself. Both of the girls LOVED the "collerroaster" as Harper said. I seriously should have counted how many times we rode it. Anytime I saw it 15 minutes or under I sent them that way.
Daddy took Harper (the only willing one) on a spin in the teacups. I believe this was also the night we did the cars and Buzz Light Year ride, as well as Tomorrow land. When people ask how it was taking children as young as ours, I typically say awesome. However, just as we had cashed in our fast passes about to step foot on the Buzz Light Year ride, Harper tells me she needs to potty. Those are the moments that are a little hairy. She ended up saying she could hold it, because she almost had a slight meltdown when I told her we weren't going to be able to ride. Thankfully, we made it through and straight to the nearest restroom.
Everyone told me we had to do Enchanted Tales with Belle, but I hadn't seen the line less than an hour and no fast passes had been available. It was getting pretty late, and the wait was down to 20 minutes so we went for it. Harper volunteered to be in the story, but Payton a little apprehensive.
Belle even came over to give Anderson some love when she was finished.
Notice how there are no people walking around? We may, or may not have shut down the park at 1am. It was well worth it to get so much in without wait lines.
