We started out the day later than normal...since magic kingdom had extra magic hours until 1:00am... after we slept in we went over to downtown Disney and did some shopping on our way to pleasure island to hit the harley shop... the harley shop was alot of fun..they had two really nice bike there you could get your picture taken on..not for sale unfortunately... after we got our tshirts we headed over to Disney quest... we spent a couple hours there eating lunch and playing video games.. after that we went back to the hotel to rest up before magic kingdom...
we headed over to magic kingdom around 3:30 for our day at the park.. we had dinner reservations at the liberty tree tavern where we had dinner and met Minnie, Goofy, Pluto and Chip & Dale... after that we got lucky and found the line (actually started the line...) for the extra magic hours wrist bands.. we went up and walked right on haunted mansion, its a small world and Mickey's philharmagic..we then went around back to the front of the castle and found a great spot for wishes.. what a wonderful show.. the weather was perfect and tinker bell even flew down from the castle to start the show... after the fireworks we headed down fantasy land to ride the jungle cruise which was closed because of a tree that fell down across the river.. we went over and walked right on pirates of the Caribbean.. the updated version was really good. after that we headed up towards toon town.. and ran into Scrooge McDuck.. I waited in line for a picture with him while Ron, Terry and Emily went over to Minnie's house take a picture in the sewing room. They got back while I was still in line waiting for the picture... Terry waited with me... while Ron and Emily when over and got in line for the teacups... right after Terry got in line with me a big family of 8 or 9 people all went up as a group and took a picture with Scrooge so suddenly instead of waiting for all of them to take pictures it was my turn.. The photopass guy took 2 or 3 picks and Terry was able to take several as well with my camera.. We got done there and made it over to the teacups in time to see Emily and Ron getting into their teacup... Emily got the ride she wanted as both she and Ron took turns spinning the cup just as hard as they could... Terry and I were able to get a bunch of pictures.
After we did the teacups we went over towards tomorrow land and did some shopping and headed for the people mover... we rode that around tomorrow land and got a big surprise when we got into space mountain. all the lights were on so we could see the who roller coaster. It was stopped for some reason... after the ride on the people mover we went to the Monsters Inc Laugh floor.. It was a good show... when the show was done we went over and rode the Buzz Lightyear space ranger spin. We had a lot of fun Emily and Ron rode together so they could spin as much as they wanted and Terry and I rode in the second car taking it easy :-)
After we finished up with that ride we headed back towards the hub.. We were able to get some pictures taken of the castle and Christmas tree as its over towards tomorrow land instead of in the town square. We went back over to check on the jungle cruise and it was now closed for the night... we headed back to mainstreet usa and started shopping our way to the gate.... by the time we left the park it was just shy of 1am... What a great day!!! we didn't have to wait for any rides the whole night at Magic Kingdom! We couldn't believe how empty the park seemed. The next time we go we're definitely going to plan our Magic Kingdom day for a extra magic hours night and arrive later in the day...
