After lunch at Be Our Guest we headed to The Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh ride where we had a fastpass reservation for 2:35. After a bit of peeking in the shops we headed out of Magic Kingdom to tale a break and do some shopping at the outlets.
You can't come to Magic Kingdom and not take a picture in front of the Railroad Station.
The Captain greeted my daughter with a Happy Birthday salute as we headed to the ferry to get back in the car.
I never get tired of seeing the view from the water when coming from (or going to Magic Kingdom). It was actually easier on this trip to drive rather then take the Disney buses but that meant we really did not get to ride on the monorail other then that first morning in the park.
Later that evening we headed back to Magic Kingdom. We grabbed some time with the Princess (lines seemed shorter in the evening to see them than during the day time). We got to see a lot of the characters on this trip (including a few new ones). You can see my report on my character experiences here.
As we were leaving the meet and greet area we came outside just in time to see the fireworks go off. It hadn't been that long since the Happily Ever After Fireworks had debut after many years of Wishes which was a fan favorite. I must admit I still sing the songs in my head LOL. We got to see it from the backside of the castle which although doesn't show the projections is still pretty impressive!
The famous lantern photo. Marc and I took a photo as well but it didn't turn out as I expected and Quisha didn't get a chance to take a photo of us like we did of her.
We actually got a chance to run over and ride Pirates of the Caribbean as well as the Jungle Cruise before catching the Kiss Goodnight show featuring the castle before closing (can you believe it was my first time seeing this after all of the years we have gone ?). Not bad for the first day in the parks! Next week Part 1 of our Hollywood Studios adventure begins!
