Breakfast, Magic Kingdom and Epcot

We started our first morning very early. We had breakfast reservations for 7:45 with Lilo and Stitch, Mickey, and Pluto. It was at Ohana, so everything was Hawaiian themed. Dylan had no clue who Lilo and Stitch were, so he wasn't sure what to think. Once Mickey came out he was a little more excited, but still a little scared and had to hold on to Seth. He kept telling us that when he saw Mickey Mouse he was going to give him a big hug and kiss...well that didn't happen the first day. He did warm up to them later on though!

The last guy to come out was Pluto. He was very silly and Dylan loved it...but still had to hold on to me! The breakfast was fun, but we were ready for Magic Kingdom! We rode the monorail over there, and that was one of Dylan's favorite things. It is like a big bus in the air. He called it the backwards roller coaster!


Our first ride, the tea cups. I am not sure he knew what was about to start. I knew he would like the rides, but I wasn't sure if he would like to go round and round really fast, so I told Seth to take it easy (you have control on how much your tea cup spins).
I think this picture is proof that Dylan didn't mind the spinning. Seth acted like we were going to run into the middle pole and Dylan thought it was pretty funny. I love how Dylan laughs, especially when he is laughing because of something we are doing. There is nothing sweeter than hearing your child laugh so hard.

After the tea cups Seth and Dylan rode on Dumbo. I decided to sit this one out and take pictures. This was also Seth's first time to Disney World, so he hadn't done any of these things before! Dylan liked Dumbo, it ended up being his favorite ride he says (of course, the longest line we waited in too!!). When Dylan and I rode this ride later in our trip he had to hold my hand because I was too scared he said!!

The carasail, or has he calls it, the Merry Go Round! My two favorite guys!!


Goofy's Roller Coaster. Again, he had to hold my hand because I was the scared one!! This was pretty fast and we were in the front. Seth and Dylan rode it on our last day again, and Dylan didn't like it that time. He said it was too fast and scary for him. He like the big roller coaster better (known to the rest of us as the monorail!).
After the roller coaster we rode the train, and while riding it Dyan fell asleep. We decided to head back to our room and take a nap. Of course the minute we got there he woke up! We stayed there for a couple hours to rest though. We were going to go back to Magic Kingdom, but our plans changed! When we went down to get on the bus the Magic Kingdom bus had just left so we decided we would go on whatever bus came next! Well, it was Epcot. I didn't even plan on going to Epcot, because there isn't that much there for Dylan. It ended up being great for 2 reasons! First of all Dylan saw this...

and if you follow my blog and know my son, you know that he LOVES to golf. So yes, he thought this was a giant golf ball!! It was funny seeing him react to it.
After we saw the big golf ball we saw a sign that said Character spotting. We got in line (in the air conditioning) and soon realized we would get to see Mickey, Minnie, Donald Duck, Pluto, and Goofy! Score!!!!!!!!! We waited about 30 minutes and Dylan got to meet all 5! It was awesome and I am so glad we hopped on that Epcot bus for that reason alone! He wouldn't go by himself for the first 3, but he did for Pluto and Goofy. He was so proud of himself for doing it all by himself!
Here the family is with Minnie Mouse.


And my big boy with Goofy. He really liked Goofy and Pluto the best during the whole trip.
Right after we got done with Goofy all 5 went on a break, so lucky us!

After Epcot we headed back to Magic Kingdom. We rode Aladdin's Magic Carpet ride and did a silly Safari.




Around 8:15 we sat down for the night time parade, Spectromagic. Dylan had his popcorn and water, so he was a happy camper.


Next will be day 2 at the parks--Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom!
