From Pacific to Atlantic - August 2019: Day 6 (Magic Kingdom)


We decided to head down to the Boardwalk for breakfast this morning - DD had a Mickey Mouse brownie, DH had a jersey crumb cake and I had a blueberry Greek yogurt. DS decided to save himself and use a snack credit when we got in to MK.



DS looking cool on the Boardwalk.

We were off to MK today - the three peaks challenge: Space, Thunder and Splash Mountain! We caught the bus from in front of the Boardwalk. It only took about 5 minutes to come and then 15 mins to get to MK.



Heading down Main Street.






This is where we were heading. DS wanted a Cheshire Cat tail.



He said it was well nice and proper good!



We had a FastPass for Space Mountain but a bit of time to kill beforehand so we went on the Peoplemover. It was a walk on and we all enjoyed the breeze and the birds-eye view of Tomorrow Land as we zipped along.



Then we went on Carousel of Progress - a favourite since the first time we came to MK with the kids. I know it is old fashioned but I love the fact it was created by Walt himself and it's so retro!



There's a great big beautiful tomorrow, shining at the end of every day!



Then on to Space Mountain. It always feels you are walking for miles to get on and off this ride. We all enjoyed it, although again the kids spent most time laughing at me screaming!



DD, me and DS on Space Mountain. I do enjoy these rides - honest!



DH and two random strangers.

We now had a FastPass for Big Thunder Mountain so headed back round to Frontierland. I want to do Hall of Presidents this trip as I've never done it before. We went in but a show had just started and we didn't have time to wait and then do the show so we left and watched a show outside with Muppets instead.

From there we walked back to Fantasyland for our lunch date in the Beasts Castle for Be Our Guest.






Liberty Belle in the background.



Waiting outside Beasts Castle.






Inside the castle having lunch. Both DH and DS had the French Dip sandwich with fries - they both absolutely loved this. DD and I had the chicken casserole which was ok but I would order the French dip next time round. DD hardly ate any of hers. We did have a nice time in here though, the theming is great so we sat and enjoyed a second drink after we had finished our meal.






Bathroom stop at the prettiest bathrooms - Tangled themed! (DD - Mum, why do you want to take my picture in front of the toilets?).

We went to see Philharmagic after this as we had some time before our next FastPass. I don't know if I'm imagining it but I'm sure you used to be able to smell apple pie during the Be Our Guest part of this - but if it used to do that it doesn't anymore! But still a pleasant 10 minutes.



Then we had to head back round to Frontierland for our final FastPass of the day on Splash Mountain. On the way we caught the parade as we were walking along.









DS trying on a Goofy hat.

We left the park, via Hall of Presidents - but we'd just missed the show again and didn't want to wait 20 mins. We got the bus back to the resort and arrived back at about 4pm.






We all decided to use a snack credit at Ample Hills Creamery.









I had Oatmeal lace (cinnamon flavour) and a pecan and treacle flavour one. Both were delicious - DH had the same flavours but in a cone. DD had a mint chic chip and milk cookies and cream. DS had blue cotton candy (bubblegum) and baked / unbaked (vanilla with cookie dough).






I can't work out whether DH is showing off his ice cream cone or pretending to be the Statue of Liberty in this one!

We all chilled out in the room for a while, reading, playing on devices, and watching Disney movies (Ratatouille and Incredibles). DH had a dodgy tummy so just DS, DD and me went down to the Boardwalk for some dinner.






It was Saturday night, and the atmosphere on the Boardwalk was great. Loads of people but really laid back, and street entertainment as well as all of the bars shops and restaurants.

DS had ham and cheese on rye, I had beef and arugula, DD had a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup. We all had desserts (as we could swap out the drink that would normally come with a QS meal because we had the refillable resort mugs). DD had a chocolate sponge, DS had peanut butter cake and I had key lime pie. All delicious! We went back to the room - DH was feeling better but didn't want anything to eat. We decided to book in for breakfast tomorrow at Trattoria al Forno instead of later in the holiday. We had a reasonably early night.

A great day. Love the people mover for a bit of a rest!
The Cheshire cat’s tail looks delicious! 😋
