We decided to visit Magic Kingdom first thing Monday morning and this was our longest day the entire week.  We were at the park from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM. (We learned quickly that if you want to jump on rides as soon as possible, then arrive at the parks at least 1 hour before they open...So we should have been at the park at 8:00 AM, but we did early arrival for the rest of our week.) Then we went back to the resort that we stayed in for the week (thanks M.B. for allowing us to stay at your timeshare!) for a few hours, cooked a pasta meal, then went back to Magic Kingdom from about 7:30 PM to 12:30 AM!!!  We hit the pillows hard!

Each day in the parks we all wore the same color shirts which helped keep track of our family members and each person was easy to spot on the rides for photo opportunities :)  On this first day we wore bright yellow shirts.  Here are some pictures from our memorable day...

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad roller coaster...this was loved by all and so fun!

Splash Mountain...My husband knew how to use the zoom lens to take our picture on the left, while I didn't use the zoom lens to take a close up of my husband's "Y" arms in the picture on the right. 

Pirates of the Caribbean...one of many boat rides filled with fun music, details and beautiful scenery

The Little Mermaid ride....

Disney at dark was amazing!  Here are two pictures of the Electrical Lights Parade.  Lots and lots of lights on floats and fun music! I will always remember when the Rabbit from Alice and Wonderland walked over to my 10 month old daughter during the parade and showed her the lit clock he was holding and gave her a kiss on the cheek.  We caught the sweet moment on video, but I couldn't get the camera quick enough to snap a picture.
