Florida Vacation Day 5

The next day we went to the park of all parks; The Magic Kingdom! It was cool to see some of the same rides and attractions that we've seen before at California, but done in a different way for Florida. We saw lots of our favorites and some new things too.

One of the first rides we went on was the Buzz Light-year Ride, Trace LOVED it!

Nothing like a game where you get to team up with your Dad!

Trace got into a bit of trouble for a minute, they have a unique form of punishment

We stumbled across a mid-day show in front of the Cinderella castle, a great spot to see all our favorites!

Another delicious treat!

 We saw "Stich" from Lilo and Stich, and decided to wait in line for some pictures. It was a bit of a long wait, but Trace seemed glad we waited when it was over.

Saw the Muppets appearing for a rousting debate. Complete with humor and corny jokes.

We didn't stick around for the traditional fireworks, but we'd seen them in California and the boys both decided they'd rather head out to a dinner show at another hotel instead. I got some pictures of the fireworks, so I included them here just for fun.

At the end of the day, we headed to a musical revue at one of the local hotels. It is very similar to the Desert Star Theatre here in Salt Lake. It was called the "Hoop Dee Do Review" and held at a western barn-type building. When we arrived, most of the large room was already full. The hostess greeted us, grabbed our reservation and lead us through the crowd to the very FRONT ROW!! We were right next to the piano and banjo player! So close that I could smell their cologne! They brought out chicken and ribs for us to eat with all the "fixin's". Shortly before the show began, one of the actors came out and asked Trace how old he was. When he replied; "Eight", she said she was looking for an 8 year old to star in the show! Trace wasn't shy or hesitant, he marched right up the stairs and went backstage to get his costume on and get ready. When the play began, there was the introduction of the "ranger" and out he came! He helped fight the bad guys, tied them up and even got a kiss from the girl he rescued! (Which he promptly wiped off) It was so fun! I was having such a good time cheering clapping for Trace, I didn't take that many photos, but afterwards, the professional photographer came up and gave us the code to access the photos he took. Disney saves the day again!

Afterwards, on the bus ride back to the hotel, both Kevin and Trace fell asleep! Long but fun-filled day!
