Disney Day Two

Holy moly. Are you ready for another day of pictures?

{taking the ferry to the Magic Kingdom. TIP: if it is a nice day and the ferries are running, if you're not in a hurry and want some air, I prefer the ferries to the closed in and usually kinda smelly monorail}

{clapping 'yay!' at the castle}

{my boy and me}

{so pretty....i know, i'm a dork!}

{hey! dad! buzz is over there!!}

{for those that don't know, eddie loves all things buzz lightyear, even though he has never seen toy story. weirdo!}

{after being scared of minnie, he looooved buzz! like, really, really loved him!}

{high fives and fist bumps}

{oh, this meeting cemented the love of buzz}

{climbing the swiss family tree house...don't bother}

{riding aladin's magic carpets}

{playing at pooh's house....the last day it was open :) they closed it up for the new expansion!}

{playing at Donald's boat....if it is hot and your kid loves water, go here!}

{my happy little water bug}

{waiting in line to see Mickey! It was hot, Eddie was tired and it was a long line. But well, well worth it!}

So. Meeting Mickey. You wait in line forever (go through Mickey's house at Toontown Fair, go into the Judge's Tent and wait in line) and they take in groups of like, 5 people at a time. We were first in the next group to go and I asked the guy running the lines how it worked. Should I put Eddie down so he could run to Mickey? No, he said. There was one person in front of us. Ok, so we carried the munchkin in. As we turned the corner, there are no other people waiting, just Mikey and Minnie waiting at the end of a hallway.

No joke, just like in the commercials, Mickey and Minnie are waving and urging us on. OH MY GOD. I DIE. MY DREAMS ARE ALL COMING TRUE. So we put Eddie down, I try to grab my camera, realize that their photographer people are there and decide to let them capture the moment. Meanwhile, my son is running to Mickey, who is now kneeling to have Eddie run to him.

OH MY GOD. THIS IS THE BEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE.

Mickey opens his arms, Eddie is running....

OH MY GOD. THIS IS AMAZING.

.....aaaaannnnddd....eddie takes a hard right and runs to the exit...

MY DREAMS! crushed.

So we grab Eddie, he goes back to Mickey and Minnie, gives out the hugs and kisses and poses for some pictures. The photographer that was there got one amazing picture of Eddie kissing Minnie with Mickey in the background. The picture has been ordered and I can't wait for it to arrive.

Ah, Disney magic. How I love thee.
