Disney Day 2

So our first full day at Disney was a Sunday.  We had no big schedules so we slept in and usually made it to a park around 11.  Can't beat that!

Of course we went to The Magic Kingdom first!  We never really had any problems with any of the buses from our resort.  Of course, this was off-season but we never had to wait very long for a bus to any park.

We were super-excited to be heading to our first park together!  Because we didn't have a stroller or anything like that, we ended up renting a locker at each park for around $7 a day.  On our last day we found out that if you rent a locker you can use it at any park that day.  So if you start out at Epcot and then go to Magic Kingdom, you can also use a locker at Magic Kingdom and not have to pay anything extra.  It just worked out easier for us to keep some waters and sandwiches and sunscreen in our locker instead of having to tote it around.

 

We got a FastPass first then went to Small World and Snow White! FastPass is your friend, use it!  I know it helped us get through the rides we wanted to ride while we did other things.

We brought Goober Grape sandwiches to tide us over and then we had a pretty good hot dog meal that we split.  After lunch we headed over to Adventure Land to ride Pirates of the Caribbean!

 

We got a FastPass for the Jungle Cruise.  By this time we were about done.  It was HOT!  It was around 88 toward the end of this day.

I love these baby elephants on the Jungle Cruise.  They're too cute!

I kept reading about something called a Dole Whip, so I knew I had to get one!  You can only get them in two places on the whole property.  We got one on our way out.  It was good but it was sooo sweet.  Think pineapple juice with pineapple soft serve on top!

We went back to Port Orleans and got ready for our dinner reservation at Epcot.  We ate at the French Pavilion at Les Chefs deFrance and I was NOT at all impressed.  There was a huge page of people in front of us even though we had a reservation.  We didn't wait long but I just didn't like the food at all.  It was just OK and for the price we paid, I was NOT happy!  I don't think we'll be back to that one!

On the way out of Epcot we walked right onto Spaceship Earth in the big ball.  There wasn't a soul around so we went ahead and rode it while we could!  It was a fun first full day at Disney!
