Magic kingdom

As like the other days, it was hot but just more sticky. Kids are still tired even with a rest day from our Universal adventure. This time we didn’t get a shuttle bus, as stayed at Universal, so we had to drive into Disney.

We had about a 20 min drive, than a monorail from the parking lot into Magic Kingdom.

It was fun, and kids had an experience but we didn’t see much of any Disney characters and the lines were long and in general it was a hard day. We bought lightning passes ($30pp) for being able to get into a certain 3 rides in the fast pass lane, but we never got to our last ride is it was from 8 to 9pm as we waited over 85 min for Tron and missed our pass time. We thought we would have made it by 9pm.

We did get to see the 10pm fireworks as we got out of Tron. The fireworks were super low and very loud. Inara was over the day and just wanted to leave.

The getting out of the park was disappointing, took forever and for parents probably made the experience of the happiest place on earth not so. It was the longest wait time of the day. We had to walk out after the fireworks with the rest of the crowd, get on the monorail to get to our parking spot. I don’t know how they can do it better, but it was just hard. Inara at age 10 needed to be carried out as she was so tired and her feet hurt so much.

We finally made it back to the hotel about 1230am.
