Our Disney Vacation-Day 2 Magic Kingdom

We rode the ferry from the parking area into Magic Kingdom, it was Ayla's first boat ride!

Riding the "tea cups" with Grandma and Grandpa

Ayla and I rode the race-car ride, she loved driving

She loved this Buzz lightyear ride

As we came out Buzz was signing autographs! She wasn't into him,,,

She was enamored with "It's a Small World" ride

Next it was time for "Bibbity Bobbity Boutique"

Ayla was wound up and acting silly

The end to a great day!

We had so much fun at Magic Kingdom, this was probably the best day.  It was a very long and tiring day but was filled with great memories.  We rode the Peter Pan ride (which Ayla really loved), Buzz Lightyear ride, Race cars, It's A Small World, Tea Cups, Dumbo Ride, Carousel, we also had an appointment at the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique for the Castle Package and Ayla loved it.  She was carrying on her own conversation with her "fairy godmother" and loved her plastic face guard from the hairspray.  She told her "mommy always gets it in my eyes"-haha.  After that we went for her photo shoot where she got three shots taken in her gown.  We were crunched for time but squeezed in a few more rides before catching the ferry back to our car for the princess dinner at Epcot.  This is where it got interesting.  Our dinner was at 6:30 and we were running late we got to Epcot rather quickly but we followed signed to Norway and must have passed right by it because we found ourselves past Germany before finding out that we missed Norway almost the entire walk back.  We must have walked 3 miles after a full day in the heat and my ankles couldn't have gotten any fatter.  I had to sit down I got so overheated. But we made it and once we all cooled down we enjoyed the dinner.  I was in such a hurry that we left the cooler with the enzymes all the way back in the car, so Scott volunteered to trek all the way back for them and returned just as the food came out.  We were all dead tired at this point.  Ayla got pictures and autographs from all 5 of the princess's for her book and ate up all of her cheese ravioli.  
Ayla was running on empty and was being extra silly when we got back to our cabin.  She tries to keep herself awake when she gets over-tired by acting crazy.  She was such a trooper.  We saw so many kids throw terrible fits and our Ayla was a doll!! 
Oh yea, while inside Magic Kingdom we stopped at a little shop where they did portraits and profile cut outs.  Karen wanted to get a profile picture of Ayla and I wanted a portrait drawn of her.  She was not into it and it was very hot but when they guy was done it looked NOTHING like her.  So we have a beautiful drawing of some strange little girl who is not our own.  Don't know what I will do with it but it was a funny part of a great day!
