Day 1 - Magic Kingdom

As I suspected, we got up later than My husband wanted, so we had to skip breakfast to make it to the park on time. We went to the Magic Kingdom. The first ride we went on was the Seven Dwarves Mine Train Ride. Hubby and the kids were very disappointed, but it was thrill enough for me. The weather is hot and soupy. I brought little fans and a water sprayer to keep the kids cool while we waited in the long lines. 

After the mine train, we went nostalgic and went on the Winnie the Pooh ride. It's still a gem!  After that Hubby and the kids went on Splash Mountain while I caught the Bear Jamboree act. It's about 10 minutes and it is adorable. It's also very comfortable in the theatre. So much so that I started falling asleep!

From there we got lunch. The Crystal palace is a clean, superbly themed Disney World restaurant in the Magic Kingdom. The service is extremely friendly and attentive. This has some of the best, healthiest food in the Magic Kingdom. There are salads and non fried meats and fish. Lots of vegetables and fruits to make good choices. There's junky stuff here too if that's what you want. The bonus is the characters that come around to the tables to sign autographs and take pictures. This can be a buffet breakfast, lunch or dinner. It's pricy, but worth it for the entertainment and the healthier food. Reservations are STRONGLY RECOMMENDED.

After lunch hubby and my daughter went on Space Mountain while my son and o went on the people move. This is an awesome ride to relax and unwind on. Another good attraction to get out of the heat is the carousel of progress, which we all went on next. Then it was on to Big Thunder Mountain and back to the hotel. After getting some adult beverages for Hubby and myself, we went to the pool until the thunder and lightning squashed that. 

For dinner we stayed on the resort and went to the Garden restaurant. This is a spacious, beautiful buffet restaurant. The facility is immaculate and has seating for many, many people. The servers are incredibly friendly and are quick to get drinks and clear dishes. The food is an excellent quality with a large variety to meet all tastes and needs. I enjoy eating here when we are at this resort. I highly recommend it. 

We're exhausted, so we stayed in. So far, the vacation has picked up.
