Day 6 - Magic Kingdom Day 2


Well the Mackenzie and Rylee really enjoyed the 2nd day because why?? YEP THEY FINALLY GOT TO SEE THE PRINCESSES and MET MICKEY 1 on 1!! The first thing we did when we got to the park was go to see Ariel. An employee who works with the characters told us that we better go first thing or the wait would be over an hour and a half. Well we knew we HAD to see Ariel because she's Mackenzie's FAVORITE princess! We even asked her if she wanted to wait a really long time to see Ariel as a mermaid and she said YES!! So being the good parents (or suckers) we are, we waited in line for almost an hour... Heather decided it wasn't worth it. (Don't blame her, if it wasn't Mackie's fave, we wouldn't have either!) Mackenzie was a good girl in line and well worth the wait to get to see her meeting Ariel!


The last day we FINALLY got cute pics of us with Mackenzie... separately go figure but hey we didn't care at that point. P.S. I'm not ashamed to admit that we bribed her with Skittles at 9:30 in the morning to get the pics!!! It was worth the cute pics!!













After that we repeated some stuff we had already done that the kids enjoyed. We saw Philharmagic again, and this time Mackenzie loved it! (Wonder if fever affected the first time... Hmmm...) She wore the 3D glasses and even reached out at some of the stuff! It was great to see her enjoy it the 2nd time around. The boys and the Rogers went to ride Splash Mountain but the girls couldn't ride, so we went and did our girl thing. We went and rode It's a Small World again, and Mackenzie of course loved that the 2nd time around! She called it the Happy Face Ride... I'm not totally sure why, but I think because there are several big suns in the ride with happy faces.

While we were still waiting on the boys we decided to go see how long the wait was to meet the princesses, yep you've got it, it was a LONG wait! One of the ladies that worked there told us that the best time to come was during the parade or fireworks so we decided to come back later in the afternoon. While we were killing time I bought Mackenzie her first pair of ears and even had her name put on them!! She wasn't impressed... didn't even really want to wear them. I even tried to get her to wear them...

Yep she popped the strap... didn't feel too good.

This day we had lunch with Tigger, Pooh, Piglet, and Eeyore. But Mackenzie really wasn't impressed since she'd already seen Tigger and Pooh at breakfast. She was NOT in the mood by the time Piglet came by and we didn't get to see Eeyore. Oh well, we were charactered out by that point and a little frustrated from lunch. No biggie.

Then came one of the best parts!! Yep the PRINCESSES! They have a separate line you go in to meet Sleeping Beauty (Aurora), Cinderella, & Belle. I'm telling you those girls must have the most patience of anybody I've ever seen... they were on the floor talking to the girls and asking questions, and signing their books. And best of all taking pictures! It was great to see them meeting the princesses for the first time and how excited they were!

The Vaclaws decided to go meet the Rogers in Epcot, but there was still some stuff we wanted to do in Magic Kingdom so we hung around for a while longer. Since the parade was still going on we decided to go see how long the wait was to meet Mickey. It only took us 10 minutes!!! And we got a surprise too!! Minnie was in there too!! Mackenzie got to meet both Mickey & Minnie all by herself, and hug them and give them kisses and have her picture taken, no rush from other kiddos or because we were in the way at the restaurant. She LOVED IT!!
The last thing we did before we left Magic Kingdom for dinner was take Mackenzie to ride the teacups... I wasn't sure how it would go, but you can't go to Disneyworld and NOT ride the teacups!!! Well I was so thrilled! SHE LOVED THE TEACUPS!! She had so much fun the first time that she about had a meltdown when we had to get off. We immediately got back in line to ride them again. Yep, she had even more fun, and an even LARGER meltdown when we wouldn't ride a third time... I would have thrown up! Ha! Here are some of the many pics I have of her loving the teacups!
