Florida(Magic Kingdom)














After Chef Mickey, we headed to Magic Kingdom to spend the rest of the day. Our main reason for heading to Orlando was the cruise, have time with family, but we did want to squeeze in Disney for a day or two, especially for Ruby since she would not be cruising.

BUT, my MAIN reason to head to Magic Kingdom was to have Ruby's pretty little locks cut for the first time @ the Barber shop on Main Street just like we did for Reyna. I have always had this thing with treating both girls equal. I have purchased double of many things just so they would each have one almost as if I have treated them as twins? Is it because they are the same sex? Am I weird? Do you do this? Anyway, it was a must that Ruby get her hair cut so they would both have the first hair cut certificiate from Magic Kindgom, their first locks packaged with mickey confetti and the mouse ears that have "first haircut" stitched on the back. (More on the haircut later. It will be a post all in itself.) 

We headed straight to Fantasy Land when we arrived at Magic Kindgom. It was pretty crazy at the park. It was pretty much prime time spring break though. We let the girls (well, Reyna) decide what they wanted to do. We did not drag them around and try to squeeze as much stuff in as possible. We took our time and it was definitely the best way to go. I can see how kids can get "Disney-ed out" quick. After riding several rides, we headed to Main Street for the Wishes Parade. I am pretty sure this was the girls' favorite part. The girls' got balloons for the price that could have paid off our mortgage, but they were totally worth it. We also stopped by Edy's ice cream and I induldged myself in Casey's Hot Dog's, which were oh so tasty. 

After the parade, we headed to the Barber Shop to put our name on the list for a hair cut. They only take appointments from people who have meal plans and who are staying at one of the Resorts, so the rest is walk-in.  We waited quite a while, but it was definitely well worth the wait. More on that later.

A few bullet points about Magic Kingdom and this post.

  • Reyna refused to look or smile in any pictures I attempted to take. She had fun, I swear. You could never tell by the look on her face though.
  • Yes, she is wearing her favorite dress, once again! Yes, it was washed a couple of times @ my grandparents.
  • Ruby rode a horse on the carousel for the first time and loved every minute of it.
  • Reyna's favorite were the tea cups. She had been talking about riding them since we told her we were going. She calls them "the chips." (You know, chip from Beauty & the Beast)
  • Reyna was scared on the Snow White ride & Ruby loved it. They did a role reversal.
  • The day we went, there was a pretty high chance of thunderstorms. It was gorgeous all day until the moment we got into the car, it started pouring. It was perfect timing.

Maeve was terrified on snow white too- actually that was the ride that traumatized her- and then we weren't able to take her on anything else that was inside :(... and same thing- Maeve refuses to smile too!
