Disney 2008: Day One {Magic Kingdom}

Here’s the trip report complete with pictures. Day One:

Flight down was fine and on time. We even arrived 1/2 an hour early– and no firey plane crashes. Bonus!Checked in at the Magical Express counter at the airport (with only our carry on bags- Disney picks up all your luggage and delivers it to your room within 3hrs of arrival-LOVE that) and took the bus over to Pop Century Resort. It was our first time ever staying at POP and we really were very pleasantly surprised. We got a room in the 50’s section which really made my day cause that’s my favorite era. Also luckily, our room was towards the back lake/parking area so we were away from the pool noise. Further to walk to the bus stop and food court, but that’s okay with me- I’d rather have the quiet. Awesome theming to the whole resort (pictures on that later). Our room was ready so we dropped off the carry on crap and took the bus over to the Magic Kingdom. I was so, so happy to see the castle—home again! So was Timmy "Cinderbrella’s castle- I sleep there".

I went to Guest Relations first thing and got Timmy’s birthday button that he could wear the whole week. He loved that. We saw Buzz first thing for some pictures (Timmy couldn’t have been any happier about that), rode Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin for the first of about 1,000 times for the trip, went on the Carousel of Progress (…there’s a great big beautiful tommorrow, shining at the end of every day..) where John proceeded to fall asleep and snore during the show. Uh huh. He really did.

Went to the Liberty Tree Tavern for our dinner reservations with Goofy and the chipmunks, and caught bits of SpectroMagic thru the window. Ran outside for the last few minutes of Wishes (with me tearing up during the song of course!) It was extra Magic Hours that night so we were able to run over to it’s a small world before leaving. If you see Patrick looking horrified on the ride it’s cause John was singing the Small World song to him on the ride. So glad I captured that picture!  Took the bus back to the resort, unpacked and went to sleep in the too small beds. But we were in Disney, so who cares!!
