Disney World…Day 7: Magic Kingdom (Again)

It was hard to believe that on June 11th, we were finally using our 6th day of our 6 day pass to Disney World. We were tired, but I wasn’t ready for the fun to end.

But, before we got sentimental, we had a whole day to spend at Magic Kingdom…again. We thought it was a great start and finish to our trip.

And, when we walked in the park, we were greeted with the morning parade. It was a darling way to start our day.
 

 
Then, after some pictures with our new “family mascot,” Mickey, {we had actually brought a green sock monkey named “Pickles” to be our family trip mascot. But, Quinn quickly decided that he wanted this plastic Mickey to be our travel friend instead! So…you’ll see him in pics for years to come!} we made our way back to Quinn’s favorite rides!!!…and to see a few new things, too!…




But, on the way to re-ride It’s a Small World, we paused as a Mommy duck crossed our path with her babies. I have vivid memories of seeing this same scene when I was a little girl at Disney World! Now it’s a fun memory to have with my boys…
 


Once again, It’s a Small World did not disappoint. Quinn loved it SO much…which still shocked me…but, I loved watching his (and Nash’s) face light up at every turn!

Then, we made our way to the Tea Cups…a classic. Sadly, Quinn was a bit nervous…so we spun very little! Silly boy!


 

Then, using a fast pass, we made it to Peter Pan and Winnie the Pooh! Both darling for both boys…
 

Pre-lunch, we all went to see The Presidents show. But, as we were walking in, Nash had a MUST attend to diaper…so, Matt, Nash and I missed it while the rest went in. Mammer and Slickpaw informed us that Q loved it…and, he wasn’t short on words about it either. I was shocked at how much he enjoyed the show.
 

After a lunch being entertained by Sonny Eclipse at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café, Mammer and Slickpaw took Q back to ride The Pirates of the Caribbean (his other FAVORITE) while Matt, Nash and I went to see The Presidents show.
 
After some Pin Trading at the Trading Post in Frontier Land, we stood in awe of the castle one more time and rode the hilariously classic Carousel of Progress. Oddly enough, Quinn REALLY enjoyed it. And, we all had the song stuck in our head for hours! (if you’ve been, you know EXACTLY what I’m talking about!)
 



After hitting the stores for “sussies” one last time, we slowly walked down Main Street on our way out of Disney World. It was hard to believe that our trip was coming to an end…but, the millions of memories we made were PRECIOUS in every way.

And, I think Walt Disney said it perfectly…
“We believed in our idea - a family park where
parents and children could have fun- together.”

It was a perfect trip…and we can’t wait to come again one day…hopefully sooner than later!
