Glad to see you were able to watch the Welcome Show. It's such a great thing to see, but it's so difficult to actually get there in time to do it. I blame it on having to take the ferry or the monorail if you drive.
Those photos of Paxton on Barnstormer are great. Perfect example of the "Disney joy."
Landon was sitting next to me as I read this update, and he got very excited when he saw the Small World photos. He informed me, "Those are really good, Mom. Way better than yours."
Smart thinking bringing the swimsuit and utilizing the splash pad area while DD was in the baby care center.
It's SO tough getting there early with 2 kids, so to go through all that and not see the show so many times was very frustrating! I was so glad our streak was finally broken this trip and we got to see it. There's no better way to start a day at MK.
He is always so happy on the Barnstormer! I'm glad DH gets so many great facial expressions on camera on that ride. It makes me smile every time.
Kids are so brutally honest!!
I don't even remember what made me think of it...maybe just because we were brainstorming ideas for the heat? But either way, I was really glad we had thought of it ahead of time. DS really enjoyed doing that and it was a perfect way for them to spend the time while I was tied up with DD.
So far, you've accomplished a lot in MK in just half a day! Love the pictures of your DS on Barnstormer and the splash pad - Disney smiles are the best
I know, we definitely don't take it slow in the parks, especially on such quick trips!! lol
Some of the best smiles we get out of him are in Disney!
So glad you got to see the Welcome Show!
Love how happy DS looks on Barnstormer
Very cool that you spotted your names on IASW!
Switching FPs on the fly certainly is a benefit to the new system and being able to manage it all on your phone!
I was so happy we broke the streak of missing the show!
The names on the screen were really cool, and unexpected. It was fun spotting them as we floated past!
I have definitely become more of a fan of the FP+ system now that you can make changes easier on the phone. Having to go to a kiosk to plan extra FP was a real pain in the rear.
Nifty. thats one of the first pictures I've seen of it actually working for someone.
I wasn't even thinking to be watching for it, so it was a cool surprise!
I always love the MK welcome show! I'm glad you got there early enough to get a great spot to watch it!
I like the touch of the names in IASW. I believe I've heard that they don't do that anymore? If not, that's too bad. It was really a nice touch.
Your DS looks like he's having a great time at the splash area. I'm going to have to remember that and look into getting a stroller fan. We've not done a summer trip since before we had kids and it's looking like our next trip might just be this summer.
The welcome show is just the BEST way to start a day at MK!
I really liked that to! It would be a real shame if they weren't doing it anymore, but now that you mention it, I don't remember seeing it when we rode in October.
If you do end up doing a summer trip, the stroller fans and chilly pads are a must! We got the stroller fan off of
Amazon, I'm pretty sure, and it held up well. We took it with us again in October.
Great report, sounds like a fun trip so far!
Thanks so much!
