Day 3 - DisneyWorld

Monday morning we were up bright and early. We met Mary Poppins, Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, and Goofy, who had come to visit the kids at the village. Madison loved Minnie most (girl thing), but had fun with all the characters. Austin and Zac didn’t care to meet any of them. (grumps). After meeting the Disney characters we had breakfast at the Gingerbread House Restaurant and headed off the DisneyWorld. First, we didn’t have to wait in any lines, with Madison’s Give Kids the World button and our Make a Wish buttons, the Disney employees took us thru the exits of the rides or to meet any characters and we were next to board. That was so helpful, not to have to deal with a grumpy 4 year old in a 45 minute line. Madison rode almost every ride there, with her dad. I love how they bonded during this vacation. J was her protector, and she was his little princess. They had a blast together. Madison was able to meet Cinderella, Belle and Aurora, and then she was able to meet Tinkerbelle, Silvermist and another fairy (I don’t remember her name). The first ride we took the kids on was a little roller coaster in Toon Town, they all loved it. Madison and Austin loved Astro Orbiter, Zac not so much. Madison HATED the Stitch show. It was dark and you are pinned down to a chair (that doesn’t even move), water is sprayed in your face, there was a stinky chilidog bump in your face, it was a bad “ride”. We didn’t take the kids on Space Mountain, Madison did not like rides that went dark for even a short amount of time, so a ride that is dark the entire time I thought would scare her. She loved all the other roller coasters and anything that went fast or high. It started raining so after a bit of shopping we headed back to the village for dinner and bedtime. (You'll notice the lack of pictures of Austin and Zac, they were both a little grumpy and didn't want their pictures taken.)
