Disney Day 3 - Magic Kingdom

Saturday morning, we woke up for our second day at Magic Kingdom. There was rain in the forecast, but apparently that doesn't stop anything at DisneyWorld, you just buy their $7 ponchos and keep going. Thankfully we arrived early and the rain didn't start until late in the afternoon, so we got to do alot and then head back to the hotel.The girls loved touring Mickey and Minnie's houses. Then Daddy took them on Goofy's roller coaster, while I let Gracyn nap.

While I am on the subject of roller-coasters, Addison loved them!!! She was a crazy girl....riding with hands in the air, screaming happily and big smiles. She rode Big Thunder Mountain twice and Space Mountain twice. We were so surprised with her bravery, she is only 1/2 inch over the height requirement for Space Mountain, but she loved it. I almost threw-up riding it with her, but she loved it. Apparently I have developed some serious motion-sickness in my "old-age".


Here they are playing on a very expensive playground!!!


Daddy and his girls on the carousel.


The girls went to visit Peter Pan. Hopefully he wasn't offended that they ran right up to him and asked him where Tinkerbell was. They were thrilled when he told them to give her a message from him! I hope they pay that guy well to stand around in those green tights all day!
Chip and Dale with a few of my favorite people!

When the rain started we ran for the hotel. I took Reagan and Gracyn to the room for naps, while Tommy and Addison went to check out the hotels craft-time and arcade. As we napped, I got a text from Tommy that said, "let usin". I couldn't figure out what that meant, so I went back to sleep. Turns out he left without a key and meant to say "let us in". As a result of our miscommunication and his not wanting to wake up sleeping babies, Tommy and Addison spent some time sitting in the hall outside our room. Turned out not so bad, because before long, they spotted Pappy and Miss Debra coming down the hall. The hotel had upgraded them to the room next to us. Pappy couldn't wait to see the girls, so he quickly woke the napping babies! We showed them around the hotel and took them on the boat ride to see Cindrella's Castle. Gracyn really took to my dad this trip. She loved hanging out with him.

That evening we went to dinner. Deb let the waitress know that my Dad recently celebrated his 50th birthday. She then disappeared to take a phone call, while the entire restaurant sang to my Dad. He begged them not to, but they showed him no mercy!


Finally, for posterity, Tommy took this picture, to document what my dinners are like. This was a late dinner, and by the end, my girls were DONE! Addison is fixing my hair, Reagan is crying in my lap and Gracyn is somewhere across the table crying for me.

I'm loving reading about each day. Did you do part of the time on the cruise? I was reading the stroller part and it mentioned a cruise. Just curious as we were looking into the cruise for our kiddos. :) We have been telling G for two years that we'll go soon....thinking we need to do it. Looks like you guys had a blast!

I totally forgot that it was Eric's 50th!!!!
It looks like you guys had an awesome time, and I can't wait to get to more stories.
Maybe in 4 years, the Jarvis' can make the trek out and do this again. Brylee and Gracyn will be old enough to enjoy themselves, dad, Eric, Tommy, and Cary can run away somewhere for guy time, and we can all catch up!
