Disney - Day 2

It's late and I'm tired, so this will be a short update. Day 1 ended with a wonderful nightcap at Magic Kingdom. After a hurried drive and Monorail ride, we got to the park right as the fireworks began (8 ET). After the 15-minute show (which Sam loved), we rode a couple of rides. Ron went to Space Mountain while Sam and I rode the tea cups and elephants again. The lines were short, so we were done around 9. We enjoyed watching Sam fall asleep in the car on our way back to the resort. He's past the age of sleeping in the car with ease, so there was an innocence about it that we welcomed.

We went to the Disney Live on Stage show at MGM Studios this morning. Sam was mesmerized seeeing all his favorite characters.

He also got to meet Lightning McQueen and Mater from the Pixar film Cars. They sounded like the real-deal with their roaring engines and he even got to touch McQueen's lucky sticker.
We rode an open-air bus from our car to the park's entrance which Sam thoroughly enjoyed.

The next group of pictures are from our breakfast this morning at the Contemporary Resort. It was a fun way to eat: character dining. I told Ron whoever thought of this idea was brilliant and stupid at the same time. We're going to get one of the most distracting things in the world (Mickey and friends) and put them right in the middle of an important part of a child's day (eating a meal). As you can tell by my remarks, Sam didn't eat a thing. He was too happy seeing all the characters.

Sam literally just leaned and hung over his highchair waiting to see his pals.
We got to meet Quincy from The Little Einsteins. How fun!...

Sorry this update didn't have much substance. I'm going to bed to get some much needed sleep. We're not going to the parks tomorrow, so hopefully I'll have some time to post a good update tomorrow night. Wednesday will be activities around the resort and some outlet mall shopping just down the road. Good night all...
