Disney Day #2

Saturday brought some clearing in the rain, so off we head to the Magic Kingdom. Tyler's first request was seeing his "friends". We met up with Chip and Dale, as well as Pluto, out on main street. From there it was on to Toon Town to see more "friends" and play in the play area.

We went on many of his favorite rides throughout the day, including the teacups and small world. He also tried a few new things. The Tiki Birds received horrible reviews from Tyler. In fact we had to leave early. Luckily Aladdin's Magic Carpet ride and the Swiss Family Treehouse were big hits. The Jungle Cruise was iffy. He was concerned that he was going to be eaten by an alligator or other such nonsense. As much as I tried to convince him that these things were pretend, it's hard to explain that to a child that truly believes a 6ft tall mouse is completely real.

We did have a VERY rained out view of the parade. Up until start time it was just cloudy, or else I'm sure they would have done the "Rainy Day Parade", but it was already in action when the skies opened up. It was sort of amusing seeing all of the characters drenched in water. Peter Pan even had to wring out his shirt as he passed us. Tyler apparently was unfazed by the rain and refused to wear his poncho.

We also fit in a nice dinner at the Crystal Palace to celebrate Tyler's birthday. As you can imagine, he had a wonderful time.

All in all, we had a great time. I think the weather was a blessing in disguise. The park wasn't too overly crowded and the weather wasn't too unbearably hot. Tyler had a great day!
