Main Street Electrical Parade- Disney Day 2 Continued

We all met up with Justin at Epcot after nap time. Unfortunately, we were running later than I anticipated, so we didn't really have that much time to spend at Epcot before heading over to Magic Kingdom for the parade.

We did see some of the fun floral displays.

We also saw a Photopass photographer doing a fun pose with a frame and Epcot in the background. So, we decided to get a family shot. Now, it would be really great if the photographer would have mentioned you can barely see the monument in the background. The shot was obviously set up for adult height people (which we didn't realize at the time). So, when we bent down to be at Garytt's level, it really looses the desired effect. Ok, off of my soapbox now... It is a cute family photo when cropped to a square to reduce the amount of sky.

Anyhow, we barely made it to any of the various worlds in Epcot. We did ride a fun ride in Mexico.

Then we caught a monorail over Magic Kingdom to secure a spot for the Main Street Electric Parade. Ok, well, actually you take the monorail back to the ticket center.

Then we got on a ferry from the ticket center over to Magic Kingdom because the line to get on the next monorail was too long and the ferry was ready and waiting. It was a pretty view as we approached Magic Kingdom.

We got a good spot right up front and ate our packed dinner while we waited for the parade.

I was sad that I forgot our big camera at the condo. Our smaller camera is good but I'm not as good about getting the settings right, especially in low light. Oh well. We definitely enjoyed the Electrical Parade! At times, I noticed that Westyn was even dancing in his stroller.

So, although we never found Captain Hook or Mr. Smee at Epcot, here they are in the parade. And Garytt was pretty excited to see them!

Here are a couple of videos from the parade as well.


After the parade, the castle was lit up.

The Wishes fireworks were going to start shortly after the parade ended. However, we decided to go ahead and take the ferry back to the parking lot. They actually have to the music playing over there and we could see the castle and the fireworks from there. So, we didn't really feel like we missed much and we were able to get to the car faster this way.

This was our latest night out. So, the boys were more than ready for bed when we got back to the condo but Garytt had to be sure his sword was with him before getting into bed.

I would say Day 2 in the Disney Parks was another success!

OK, so in your picture of the castle there is a dude pushing a stroller with a huge case of Bud Light on top!! What's up with that? :)

Nicole- Funny you mention that...I didn't even notice...I was trying to find the best picture of the castle and that was the first thing Justin noticed too. Apparently, it's cool to bring a case of Bud into Disney?!
