FL Trip- MGM and Magic Kingdom #2

The next two days we made it to MGM and then again the Magic Kingdom but this time we went alone, just the four of us.

MGM

I really liked MGM. I thought that there wouldn't be that much to do for the kids, but I feel like we ran out of time and I wish we would have been able to go back with a better plan. Jonathan isn't that big of fan of MGM and so we kinda just roamed around and missed a lot. We did a lot too. We made it to the Behind the Scenes Car show that had a bit of Lightning McQueen in it that Jackson loved. We could have spent the whole day at the Honey I Shrunk the Kids play area. They had a new Pixar area with a new Toy Story ride that was a hit with all of us! We ate at the Pizza Planet (from the Toy Story movie). We rode the Great Movie ride but we missed out on the Backlot Tour and a few other shows I wanted to see. MGM is definitely more of a show/tour park than a ride park and some planning is definitely needed if you want to hit up all of them.

Honey I Shrunk the Kids play area!
This is one of the few places I have memories of my Disney visits! Jackson and Brayden loved it too!


Jackson got to "meet" and take a picture with Lightning McQueen and Mater. So excited!
Our Pizza Planet Dinner
I was a little disappointed there wasn't "the claw" inside. Come on Disney. That would have been SO easy and a hit!
Waiting in line for the new Toy Story ride! This was the longest ride we had to stand in the whole trip and we stood in it twice and only rode the ride once. That's because we have a certain toddler that, after standing in an hour line for 20 minutes, just HAD to go potty. Great.
This is our baby boy after the park that night. After three fun filled nights that ran past his bedtime, he was exhausted. We got home, picked him up (which he immediately woke up and always does) and when placed on the bed to get into his pjs he immediately fell back asleep. He just couldn't keep his eyes open! We just had to document this rare occasion.
Magic Kingdom-Take 2!

This trip was a very low key day. I loved not having to rush around trying to hit all the rides. We just leisurely strolled around going to rides we didn't get to the time before, but also knowing that we would be back one more time.

Jonathan and Jack riding the magic carpets. Jackson thought this one was "really fun."
We all rode the merry-go-round. Brayden hated it until it started moving and Jackson felt so proud to ride the horse by himself.

A quick picture while we waited in line. Jackson wanted to show off his Mickey bandaide from Janet!

Brayden
Brayden LOVED it's a small world. We rode it quite a few times during our visit because the line was always so short and Jackson got a little bit of a boat ride. We knew Brayden loved the ride because he would point to it every time we would pass the sign.
Next up....Animal Kingdom, then Cruise pictures, and then our last Disney day. So much to show and tell!
