DAY 1 in Magic Kingdom

We arrived at the Magic Kingdom in time to watch Mickey and his friends arrive on a train & open the gates. I will never forget he & Ashton's face the first time they saw Mickey & the gang....its like they knew we were going somewhere & it was going to be great...but it all hit them at once that Mickey & Minnie were really here and that moment and those smiles and that laughter will stay with me my whole life. It was precious...priceless...and the sweetest moment!
We went straight to the castle...snapped pictures and rode Dumbo first! We made our way around Fantasy Land & Tomorrow Land.. rodes lots of things.....we met a few characters...found that Cole LOVED the cars in Tomorrow Land and the tea cups.... and then had lunch at Casey's Corner...after a very long wait:) The crowds moved in & our kids were ZONKED....so we headed back for a quick nap. Then we went to dinner at Chef Mickey that night and they got autographs & pictures with all their "friends" as Cole calls them.
After dinner we headed back & attempted to see the parade & fireworks. Man were we unprepared....we hardly found anywhere to stand & watched the fireworks under a tree...we knew we would have to try that again:) We headed back after me & Brent became "nascar" stoller drivers through what seemed like a million people all piled onto one street. We somehow made it out all alive, untrampled, and still religious. Cole was excited when we returned because Mickey left another friend under Cole's pillow....Goofy ( who quickly became Cole's favorite)!
