Disney World, Part 2

Josephine eating her first ice cream cone. Nathan and I had one lick each. She had the rest. She wouldn't let you touch the ice cream cone.

Josephine driving the car. She laughed the whole ride (both times). She would "steer" the car and when it ran into the rail she would laugh and laugh.

We had a great time at The Magic Kingdom on Friday. We got there about 9 and left at 7 when they closed. I'm going to try to remember what rides we did. "It's a Small World" was her first ride, which she enjoyed. She also rode Dumbo, Whinnie the Pooh, carousel, Tiki Bird Show, Jungle Cruise, the tram that runs on magnets, race cars, teacups, and the Monster's Inc. show. There must have more than that but I can't think of them right now. Josephine cried after getting off most of them because she wanted to ride it longer. Her favorites were the race cars and the carousel. We rode the carousel a couple times before we left. Nathan and I rode the Buzz Lightyear interactive ride where you try to shoot all the targets as you passed by them. It was alot of fun. We also watched the afternoon parade, which she liked, but she was having her first ice cream cone at that time, so she was a bit preoccupied. They brought out hula-hoops for the kids to play with before the parade started. Josephine went and picked out the orange one. She was very proud of it. Luckily, Josephine took a nap in her stroller after lunch.

Saturday we went to Epcot, which wasn't nearly as fun. The Nemo ride was okay. It wasn't supposed to be scary, but it still scared 3 of the 4 kids with us. There is an aquarium with the Nemo ride, which was nice. Josephine got to see sea turtles, dolphins, sharks, and all sorts of other fish. She enjoyed until she decided that she was too hungry to enjoy anything. She watched her first big screen movie. The Lion King Circle of Life movie was only 13 minutes long, so we tried it out. She loved all the animals on the screen. We rode through the biosphere/greenhouse which was pretty cool. Lunch was a combo of great and disaster. Emily and Elizabeth got to meet the princesses at lunch -- they were thrilled. The wait and prices were about 5 times what they should have been despite having reservations. We even overheard one Disney worker saying that the restaurant manager was going to get fired. : ) None of us jumped in to save his/her job. We left after lunch (it was 3:30) and Nathan and Jo are taking a nap. I don't know what we'll do tonight.

The videos take forever to upload. I'll post more later.
