Disney Trip 2018--Tuesday (Magic Kingdom)

• We all woke early and ate breakfast in the room, and then got on the bus for an easy ride to Magic Kingdom. We got there in time for rope drop and then walked right on Buzz Lightyear
• After that, we rode the People Mover. I love that ride--calm, cool, dark. Perfect when it's 6 zillion degrees outside.
• The line for Space mountain was only 20 minutes at this point according to MDE, so Eric and Piper decided to wait to ride it. Fletch, Deke, Jasper, and I got a snack and just wandered around, thinking it wouldn't be a long wait. It ended up being an hour. But, on the bright side, Piper and Eric loved it, and riding roller coasters is now their thing.
• Had a FP for Small World, which we all love so did that and then made our way back across the park for a FP for Barnstormer, which only Piper rode. The boys played around in the little spray park outside of Barnstormer.
• By that point, it was time for our lunch reservation at Crystal Palace, and we were all ready to get a break from the heat. Making lunch reservations each day was the best decision we made b/c it gave us all a respite from the heat and humidity and meant that we didn't have to find our own table at lunch, get up a million times for condiments, carry food on trays, etc.
• Crystal Palace was great--Deke and Piper loved the characters, and the food was good. 
• After lunch, Deke and I rode the carousel, which was fun but it was kind of a long wait, so maybe not worth it.
• We then saw there was no wait for Mickeys Philharmagic so hit that up. It was our first time, and the show was cute.
• It was time after that for our FP for the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. The boys didn't want to ride, so Eric and Piper went by themselves while the rest of us bought stuffed animals at the store outside the Winnie the Pooh ride.
• Leaving Mine Train, we noticed there was no line for the Little Mermaid ride, so we did that, and I loved it but Deke was scared. Coming off of there, I was able to score a FP for the Tomorrowland Speedway, so we headed over there. This was really the only ride the Fletch was excited about, and we had a great time.
• By that point, we were hungry and thirsty so we took a break and got Mickey Bars and drinks, and then walked over to the Monsters Inc., Show, which is always hilarious.
• Coming out of there, we noticed that there looked to be a relatively short line to meet Stitch, so Piper, Deke, and I waited. It took longer than expected but was totally worth it. Stitch was super cute.
• By that point, we were all tired and getting cranky. It was about 4pm, and I didn't want to press our luck, so we did some shopping, bought Mickey ears at the hat store near the entrance, and walked to the bus. The bus was just about to leave when we saw it, but thankfully it waited for us. We were all so happy for some air conditioning and a seat.
• We got back to the hotel, and ate dinner in the food court. After that, it was starting to rain, so we just headed back to the hotel for showers and bed time. A super fun (but hot and tiring) day!
