Magic Kingdom Day, Part 2

After lunch, we were pretty wiped out, so we decided to head back to our resort. Magic Kingdom was having Evening Magic Hours that night and would be open until midnight...we needed lots of rest if we were going to make it! We hopped on the boat launch that would take us back to our resort. We didn't realize our building was right beside the dock for the launch! It was nice to only have a short walk back to our room!


We took the monorail back to MK about 5:30. We needed to find a place to get our bracelets that signified we were allowed to ride the rides after the park closed. Although, the lines for the attractions were still pretty low, it sure felt as though the park had filled up! Our first stop was the train station where we wanted to catch the train and head over to Mickey's Toon Town Fair. The only ride over here that we wanted to do was The Barnstormer at Goofy's Wiseacre Farm. Syd wasn't feeling too well, so she and I sat out. Bill and the girls got to ride it twice in a row, literally! Even though Hayley won't admit it, she really did like it! Emyley wanted to ride it all night! LOL!


We also managed to fit in Swiss Family Treehouse, Magic Carpets of Aladdin (again) and Mickey's PhilharMagic 3-D Movie. By this time, we were getting pretty hungry, and we went to Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe for some burgers and chili cheese fries. We really didn't notice the time, but the Wishes Fireworks show started while we were eating, so it was around 9:00! Emyley fell asleep while we were in line for our food, so she missed dinner altogether! She didn't wake up until we got to our room over an hour later, and then went right back to sleep til morning!

Sydney had heard that riding on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority at night is a must-do, so after dinner we headed over there. It was really cool seeing all the neon lights lit up. We were really surprised that the crowd didn't thin out at all after the park closed around 9:15, since the park only stayed open late for resort guests. After riding the TTA, we were all so tired, and decided to call it a night. Unfortunately, the boat launch was closed for the night, so we had to take the looooooong ramp up to catch the monorail with everyone else! It was a very long day, and we had plans to get up at 6:00am the next morning to start our next adventure......
