Day One Part Two - Magic Kingdom in the Evening

So, after we checked into Pop Century we hauled all of our crap lovely things across the massive resort and up to our room. Before anyone was allowed to sit down or touch anything I began the disinfecting process. The disinfecting process: spray everything that might be touched with Lysol, remove all nonessential bed coverings (like those never washed bedspreads) and wipe all frequently touched places (i.e. door handles and light switches) with Lysol wipes all while holding your breath so the fumes don't kill you. Sounds extreme, hugh? Some of you might be thinking, "is she a germaphobe?" Nope! Not unless I am at Disney World! The reason being that up until this past trip (where I disinfected everything, including the children every ten minutes) we have gotten sick every time we have brought the kids to "The Happiest Place on Earth". And I don't mean the sniffly, coughing kind of sick. I mean the 5 year old projectile vomiting kind of sick. I'll pass on that whole mess thank you very much. So, if that means I spend 30 minutes inhaling toxic fumes, I'll take the risk to keep every one's food in there stomachs!

Now, as I was saying, after our disinfecting we headed out to the Magic Kingdom. It was beautiful and sunny and not too warm. The kids were so excited to get on the bus and off we went. The park was pretty packed so we decided to pick a couple of rides to fit in so we wouldn't have to do those when we were back at Magic Kingdom on Monday. First we were off to Thunder Mountain. This was going to be a test of Tabitha's height. Without her tennis shoes on she is about 39 and a half inches. With them she is a hair over 40 (the height restriction for most rides). So needless to say she didn't wear her crocs during most of the trip because they made her too short!

The evening went by pretty quickly. We picked up a quick dinner at Harbor House, did the Stitch show/ride, watched SpectroMagic (the light parade) and then saw the fireworks over the castle. The kids were so happy to be there that I don't even think they realized how tired they really were. We left the park a little before midnight and made our way back to the room. I think the kids were in bed around 1 or 1:30am. No, it didn't take us that long to get back but it did take us a while to give them their baths. Yes, baths are part of the disinfecting process!

Stay tuned . . . Animal Kingdom is next!
