Of course, we had to stop for some pictures on Main Street with Cinderella's castle in the background. (Garytt wasn't too excited...he was ready to hit the rides!)
Pictures on Main Street aren't complete without a little Magic Shot with Tink. (By the way, I love Westyn's face in this picture...we can't get him to smile for a picture to save our life but he did his surprise face fabulously!)
We took a few more pictures when we got closer to to the castle. (So, you know how it is when you go on vacation to sunny Florida and forget your sunglasses in Missouri, so you buy whatever cheap sunglasses you can find at Wal-Mart and plan to just remove the sunglasses for all pictures because you usually don't wear this style of sunglasses...yeah, totally forgot to remove my sunglasses.)
After those two photo stops, we headed to the rides. We had a Fastpass for the new Seven Dwarf Mine ride, but Westyn wasn't tall enough for that ride. So, he and I went over to ride Dumbo while everyone else went to the Seven Dwarf ride. On our way to Dumbo, Westyn saw the Tea Cup ride and wanted to do that one first. He was pretty excited!
We headed to Dumbo and it wasn't long before the rest of the crew caught up with us. So, Westyn rode a second time with Shira and Auggie and Garytt rode with Justin while I snapped a few photos.
After everyone got a chance to ride Dumbo, Garytt and I went to ride the Seven Dwarf mine train again. Since we had a child that was under the height limit, we were able to get a rider switch pass that allowed me to ride it with another guest and use the Fastpass lane. Garytt was so excited to tell me about the ride and to get to ride it again. He just kept saying "Mom, you are really going to love this ride!" It is pretty hard to take any pictures during the ride, so I had Garytt stand next to the little cottage on the way out. This was by far his favorite ride!
Meanwhile, everyone else went on the Little Mermaid ride where you sit in seashells and watch scenes from the movie.
Garytt and I were able to almost catch up with them. So, we hopped in line for that one, too. I was shocked when we got to the front of the line and Garytt panicked! He apparently remembered this ride from last time and he practically jumped into my arms and said he didn't want to go because he didn't want to see Ursula. So, we asked a cast member if we could exit without riding. (This is really not a scary ride at all but Garytt really hates Ursula I guess!) We didn't have to wait long before the rest of the gang got off the ride and we all headed over to Tomorrowland.
We headed straight for the Buzz Lightyear ride in Tomorrowland, which is a favorite for the boys! Buzz Lightyear has ride photos at the end that are free, so you just have to touch your Magic Band or entry card to attach them to your account.
Justin loves ride photos and really hams it up!
This is what it looks like when you are trying to get setup for the photo since your 4 year old is too short...oops missed it!
And this is what it looks like when you click the wrong spot and download a photo with someone else in it instead of Auggie and Shira.
At the end of the ride, Zurg is in jail...the kids do love to get in jail with him!
Soon we headed over to the stage in front of Cinderella's castle to watch a show while having a little snack/light lunch.
We had time to ride a few more rides before it was time for an afternoon break. We drove some cars at the Tomorrowland speedway. Let me just say it was a bumpy ride with Westyn in the driver's seat!
Our last ride before break was Goofy's Barnstormer, which is a little roller coaster that even Westyn can ride! And it turned out to be Westyn's favorite ride! Justin even got a selfie with all of us in the shot!
On our way out, we stopped at one of the gift shops to do one of the pressed penny machines (which the boys loved collecting!) and we heard some fun music. So, we came out to see what was going on. We saw a fun parade going by.
Time to head to the condo for a break!
