It was quite an early start this morning because we wanted to be at the Magic Kingdom when it opened. When we arrived, the monorail was not running, so for the first time ever we took the ferry. Finley was not pleased. We made it in time for the opening show, which made Finley happy again. We headed straight to Belle's Enchanted Tales and once again Finley was lucky enough to get picked for a big part: Phillipe the horse. She got to gallop and neigh with Belle, she was thrilled. We then rode Winnie the Pooh, The Little Mermaid and Peter Pan to complete our Fantasyland visit. We headed over to Frontierland to ride Big Thunder Mountain a couple of times and Splash Mountain (much to Clifton's dismay.) We were in the front row and got soaked. So we headed out of the park for lunch at Friendly's complete with a monster sundae.
After lunch we spent some time at the pool, which may have been a bit much for Finley. So after 10+ times down the water slide, it was time for a nap. After nap we returned back to the Magic Kingdom (monorail!) for the night. We were able to ride Aladdin's Carpets, Pirates and the Jungle Cruise in no time flat. Then it was Big Thunder Mountain Railroad three times since it is Finley's favorite. We had planned to watch the Main Street Electrical Parade, but it was crazy crowded. We opted instead to ride Dumbo, Barnstormer and visit with characters. After that we rode on Tomorrowland Speedway (Finley made me drive,) Astro Orbiter (during the fireworks!) and caught Monsters Inc Laugh Floor. It was a very full day and Finley was having a blast!
