Magic Kingdom!!!
At 7:00am Kacie was able to get us a Lightning Lane for Space Mountain ($29.84) and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train ($42.60). We were pretty excited because at first we didn't think it worked or they sold out but then she refreshed her phone and was able to get both of them. When we were in line to catch the bus Scott realized he forgot his mask so Kacie bought him a Mickey one from the gift shop for $15.00. She made it just in time before we were loading on the bus. I was so glad I saw the mask the night before in there so I knew they had them and that way we wouldn't have to go all the way back to our room. While we were waiting to load the bus I saw a lady wearing the same 25th celebrate Mickey sweatshirt that mom has and I told her that and she said she was wearing her mother's and that she was just a little girl then. Once we got there we got right through security but there was a little line getting into the park but I don't think we wait much more than 10-15 minutes. Once we were inside it didn't feel too crowded. We got a bunch of pictures first thing before we went over to Space Mountain for our first ride.
I love this one!
This was so fun...a little different from Disneyland. I feel like it's longer and darker but there is no music. However, Scott lost his sunglasses and we waited for awhile to see if they would show up but they never did. We filed a lost and found claim but they never did find them. Our next ride was the Haunted Mansion and we had a Lightning Lane for it too...so FUN!
This would be such a cute picture if we didn't have to have those awful masks on! haha!
Next was Mickey's PhilharMagic which is an awesome 3D movie! I absolutely loved it!! Then we watched the Country Bear Jamboree!! My dad's favorite!
We got to see a little parade of princesses!!
Scott got us a cheese pretzel and a very sweet churro for $13.30
We saw the Enchanted Tiki Room before going on the Pirates of the Caribbean with our lightning lane. This is an all time classic and a favorite for everyone. After that it was about time to head over to Be Our Guest Restaurant for our reservation
Our table was in the grand dinning hall. It was so much fun!
The Beast would walk by from time to time.
We got a few silly selfies while waiting for our food! haha!
Kacie got a cool drink with an ice cube that glows and changes colors.
My appetizer was Captain Nemo Octopus which was a seaweed salad with cucumber, picked beets, hearts of palm, tapioca crackers, beets mousse and carrot-ginger silk drizzle. I thought it was good but no one else would even try it! haha!
Kacie had a mixed field greens salad with brittlle and seasonal fruit with a stone fruit vinaigrette.
Brady had chicken rillettes, shaved Serrano ham, chorizo sausage, pleasant ridge cheddar, truffle tremor, and stilton blue with seasonal garnishes. He liked the ham and sausage but nothing else. I really liked the cheese.
Scott had French onion soup with toasted crouton gruyere and provolone. He loved it! We could all have chose Maine lobster bisque (garnished with creme fraiche and poached lobster).
Brady had Poulet Rouge Chicken with savory bread pudding and seasonal vegetables with a chicken glace. He really liked it too! Other entree options were herb-salted pork tenderloin with crispy pork belly, seasonal vegetables-two ways, pork jus, and candied pecan and Vadouvan spiced vegetables which were sautéed seasonal vegetables with crispy corn cake with coconut vadouvan jus and pickled mustard seeds and Pan-seared sea scallops with seasonal risotto, fennel, apple and consomme.
We all had our own dessert trio with a dark chocolate truffle filled with dark chocolate grand marnier ganache, a chocolate tart filled with grey stuff, crips pearls and white chocolate wafer and a lemon jam macaron. It was so delicious! After we were done eating we got to walk through the restaurant. The server told us that the same artist that did the snow scene in Beauty and the Beast did the exact same snow pattern that was falling outside the windows. Kacie was so nice to pay for our dinner which I think was over $300. ($62 per adult plus drinks and tip.)
East Wing!
West Wing!
We got some more pictures outside the Little Mermaid before waiting about 40 minutes to go on the ride then we rode It's a small world and we only waited about 20 minutes for it.
So fun!!!
Scuttle was entertaining us while we were going through the line.
The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train was so cute. You race and rock through a diamond mine on family coaster. I loved how we got these pictures and also a little video of us riding the coaster. So Fun!!!
These three got some yummy Dole Whip at Aloha Isle for $20.20. I loved Kacie's coconut flavored one. Then we went on the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad with our lightning lane. We all felt like it was longer than the one at Disneyland which was way fun! We then watched The Hall of Presidents which is a 22 minute show with all the animatronic US Presidents on stage together at the end. As they were naming them all we were worried when it came time for President Trump but everyone cheered in the audience. We were pleasantly surprised. This was very moving and touching show. We all loved it even Kacie who was hesitant to watch it. haha!
Scott and Brady found a place to seat down while Kacie and I did a little shopping while we were waiting for the the new Disney Enchantment show. You experience captivating Disney music, enhanced lighting, stunning fireworks and immersive projection effects that extend from Cinderella Castle down Main Street, U.S.A. It was so awesome!!! I got a white long sleeved 50th Anniversary shirt for $47.91 and Brady a gray Mickey Disney World hoodie for $63.89. Kacie got a cute cream colored Mickey Disney World sweatshirt.
You can't tell, but that's Tinkerbell flying through the sky!(:
After the show we rode Pirates of the Caribbean and with only a 5 minute wait. We love it! Then on our way out we got some more pictures. We all loved how the Cinderella castle illuminates the park at nightfall with a dazzling EARidescent glow that sparkles with pixie dust.
We got this cool picture too with our Photo pass which was $199.00 to get all our pictures for the four days. I couldn't believe how expensive it was. At Disneyland all your photos are included with your Fast Pass.
We walked 20, 331 steps which was 9 miles. It was so much fun I didn't want it to end. We had to wait a little while to catch our bus back to the resort but Scott and I were able to visit with a nice retired guy from the Railroad on the bus. I think he was from Kansas. He said they were here during the 25th celebration also and he said the castle looked ridiculous as the giant birthday cake. haha! I would say they made a few improvements this time.
