Disney World Day Two

Tuesday was Magic Kingdom day. What we didn't expect was that our rideshare couldn't drop us off at the gate. Instead we went to the transportation center where we chose to take the more scenic ferry ride to MK. It was probably a bit slower but the scenery was so nice and it was fun to watch the castle come closer and closer into view...

One of the other ferries to the Magic Kingdom.

Some of the beautiful Disney resorts along the lake...

Getting closer...

And after getting our park passes fixed at Town Hall (Guest Services) we were on our way... 

First stop: Cinderella's castle. It is beautiful inside and out!

We made it to the park! 

Cinderella's castle is so pretty!

The hallway is lined with these intricate mosaics. 

First we visited Fantasyland...

But our first ride was a new one for us: The Seven Dwarves Mine Train...

While Dumbo isn't new for us, it's always a fun ride...

The Barnstormer was another new one for us...

Under the Sea- Journey of the Little Mermaid...

Then it was time for a snack at Gaston's... 

We had The Grey Stuff cupcake and a Lafou's brew...

We tried the grey stuff. It's delicious! Don't believe me, ask the dishes... 

Then we made our way to Frontierland...

We hadn't seen Country Bear Jamboree since we were kids... 

The views from the queue for Big Thunder were so pretty! 

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. The wildest ride in the wilderness!

We rode Splash Mountain for what will probably be the last time before it undergoes a major theme change...

Jack Sparrow made a quick (and socially distanced) appearance... 

The Magic Carpets of Aladdin are a lot like Dumbo but on carpets... :) 

It's a whole new world from on top of our magic carpet

The Jungle Cruise is always worth the wait. And we even heard some new jokes, cruised through a temple in Asia and said good-bye to Trader Sam...

I was also so excited that the treehouse was still The Swiss Family Treehouse! Tarzan just isn't the same... 

If I ever got stuck in Disney, this is where I'd stay... 

And look at that view! 

And a beautiful kitchen with cool running water... 

The castle is so pretty I just had to take another picture... 

Then we finally made it to Tomorrowland... We didn't get any pics but we had time to ride Star Tours, Space Mountain and Buzz Lightyear. And because we were starving, we also got dinner at Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe. 

One last picture of the castle all lit up... 

And Main Street always is pretty at night...

We could have taken the bus or the monorail back to the transportation center but we opted to take the ferry again, which meant we got to see the light parade on the water... :) 

This next picture seems odd but it has a story behind it... 

While riding Splash Mountain, the left lens of my glasses popped out. It was amazing that it didn't get lost. There was no way to keep the lens in the frames without the screw but since I need them to see, I improvised. I took one of my new Mickey earrings apart and used it in place of a screw until we could find a more permanent solution. It worked just fine until we stumbled on a Sunglass Hut right across from The Magic Carpets of Aladdin. The sweet girl working there had just what they needed and fixed my glasses right up. :)
