Disney - Day 5

We started Day 5 at the opening of the Magic Kingdom.  Once the park opened, we headed straight for Tomorrowland.  It was so odd because we felt like we were in the only ones there.  It was so quiet and we walked on Buzz Lightyear, the Astro Orbiter, the Tomorrowland Speedway, and grabbed fast passes for Space Mountain.

It was then 10:00 and we headed right for the opening of Toon Town to see Tinkerbelle and the faires.  There were only a few people ahead of us and when we came out, the wait was 45 minutes.  We then decided to see the princesses next door.

Next we rode the Barnstormer, or the Goofy coaster, as Bailey called it.  Bailey was actually tall enough to ride it so we all got to ride it together.  She was very nervous while we were riding the coaster but after it she was so proud of herself.  We toured Minnie's house, and then it was time to go to our brunch/lunch reservations at Chef Mickey's.  We got to ride the monorail to the Contemporary, which the girls thought was fun.  We loved Chef Mickey's.  The breakfast was yummy and we got to see Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, and Pluto.  Minnie loved the girls' red polka dot bows.

After lunch, I had planned to go back to the hotel to take a nap, but Ryan convinced me to go back to the park since the weather was great, the crowds were low, and the girls were happy.  We headed to Space Mountain to use our fast passes.  Emma Catherine wanted to ride and went with Ryan.  Once again, it wasn't quite what she expected and she didn't want to go on it with me.  We then rode the people mover and the Carousel of Progress.  As we headed across the park to see if Splash Mountain had opened, the show on the castle stage was starting to we decided to watch it.  As it was finishing it was about to be time for the parade, but we decided to keep walking.  Eventually, though, the parade caught up to us so we just stopped and watched it.  We finally made it to Splash Mountain and Emma Catherine and I rode it while Ryan stood in line with Bailey to meet Jesse and Woodie. 
We went to meet Tiana next, but we had a few minutes to spare so we looked around the Christmas store and Ryan went to get us a fast pass for Peter Pan.  We loved meeting Tiana and Naveen because they were so friendly and at one point they even hopped around like frogs with the girls.  Also, Naveen remembered blowing the girls a kiss during the parade.

To finish a great day we rode Peter Pan, the carousel, watched Mickey's PhilharMagic, and ate dinner.  We then headed to our hotel to get a good night's sleep.
