everything is magical at the magical kingdom

Apparently work did not stop while I was away and I have been swamped with picking up where I left off before I left. Somehow I find that very unfair. If you are not going to be around at work for a length of time no one should think about you and leave you things. Missing you is ok, but it should be as though your job doesn't exist and they should all get along without you. You know, perfect world and all. Onward with the Disney recap!DAY 2Saturday, February 9, 200825°C/78°F sunnyWe didn't rush to get up on our first full day there, we took our time, had breakfast around 10AM (the BEST chocolate chip pancakes EVER, thank you very much) and then headed on over to the Magic Kingdom a little after lunch time. However before we even left we had decided that there were just too many bloody cheerleaders around and having gotten stuck on crowded busses with them was just too much. Where were they all coming from? Where were they going? That was our question of the weekend! (I did hear one of them tell an older couple they had just almost knocked over that this was the first year they used the Caribbean Beach Resort to stay at as well as the All-Star resorts. Lucky us.) Tonight was the night we were going to have dinner with Winnie the Pooh and Pals over at the Crystal Palace. First thing we did after hitting all the shops on Mainstreet USA was use our map to figure out WHERE the restaurant is so that we could come back at 5:30 and wait for our reservation. Luckily that wasn't so hard and then we were on our way around the park to enjoy the various lands in the Magic Kingdom.We walked by Cinderella's castle on our way to Tomorrowland and caught one of the live shows in front of the castle - Dream-Along With Mickey! It was pretty neat to watch and I was sad that we were rather far away but thank goodness for zoom! Of course had we realized THEN that this show happens like, every 2 hours (not kidding) I could have made an effort to get closer photos. As it was they didn't turn out so bad and the best part about the entire show?SNOW WHITE! Yay! I love Snow White. The three Princesses in the show were Snow White, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. There were also pirates (ooooo!) and Peter Pan and Donald! Goofy! Mickey!It was a really well done performance and I have to give Disney World props for putting on amazing live entertainment. They really know how to manipulate emotions.I even got myself a nifty Snow White bow at the Snow White shoppe in Fantasyland (sadly the Snow White ride was closed for refurbishment, I was disappointed by that).Once we made our way through Frontierland and Adventureland we made our way to the Crystal Palace for our Character Dinner where we had photos taken with Pooh, Piglet, Tigger and the World's Strongest Eeyore!This Eeyore lifted Shawn right out of his chair for the photo. And I can tell you he was clutching my arm so tight that I couldn't move! What a snuggly guy though!The park closed at 7PM that night because there was a Pirate and Princess Party happening (we went to the one on the 14th) and since we were pretty exhausted (we DID actually spend over 7 hours there that day!) so we just went back to the room and I went to sleep early and Shawn sat outside and read his book and watched the many bunnies hop around in front of our room.Day Two photos can be found here!
