December 27---Cape May Breakfast and Magic Kingdom

Another Character Breakfast---I was beginning to get a little tired of the Character meals, although the food was very very good. Cape May was delicious though. We were running a little late that morning and then had a hard time finding the place so we were about 5 minutes past our ADR time when we got there. We had to wait about 10 minutes, so we wandered around the lobby for a while. The Chocolate carousel was so cool....Trey kept looking for the hidden Mickeys on it. We found one but I'm sure there were more. Once we got called, the food was delicious and the characters were great. Chip and Minnie were probably the most fun.
As we were leaving, we saw a wedding party getting pictures taken in the lobby. It was amazing how many weddings were happening while we were there.
Then we were off to Magic Kingdom for the first time in daylight. When we got to the TTC the CM said the ferry was about 15 min shorter than the monorail----no brainer: we took the ferry. I got some pictures of the castle, including some with fireworks---I guess we saw the opening???
We first took the train around to Toontown. We got off and the boys weren't really interested in seeing Mickey or Minnie's houses so they headed over to Goofy's Barnstormin and rode that.
From there, they headed over to the Indy cars and rode them, while I went to Buzz Lightyear and got FPs. Then we wandered over to the castle and got pictures taken. We could finally go through the castle--everytime we were there before, it was roped off because it was time for a show. Trey tried his hand at the Sword in the Stone. It didn't come out and they don't believe me that it sometimes does.
We went to see Philharmagic then headed back to Tomorrow land and did Buzz, and got another set of FP for later in the evening. I'm not sure what order things came in but we drove the Indy cars again, rode the Tomorrowland Transit Authority, and watched the Night Before Christmas Show. Somewhere in there, we saw Buzz, but he was leaving so we couldn't get the boys' picture taken w/ him. I did get pictures though. After using our FP for Buzz, we separated.
Kyle and I were going to ride the Indy cars while Eddie and Trey headed to the Thunder Mountain RR. (We'd gotten FP earlier in the day). Kyle decided he didn't want to ride anything so we went to Toon town to play in the little playground there.
Eddie and Trey rode BTMR and had 2 more FP to use to ride a 2nd time, but Trey didn't really like it so Eddie rode it 2 more times by himself. We were supposed to meet them at Pecos Bills for a late dinner, but we got caught by the parade and it was HORRIBLE trying to get back over there. We finally made it to PB and had wonderful cheeseburgers.
Then we headed towards Adventureland to try to do POTC again. We turned the wrong way somehow, and never passed it, but Kyle was insisting he was not going to ride it anyway, so it was no big deal. We stopped by Aloha Isle and got one last Dole Whip before heading for home.
Eddie & Trey headed to Tomorrowland so Trey could ride Buzz one last time while Kyle and I headed for the exit. Before we got out of the front gates, he'd fallen asleep and stayed that way all the way to the hotel, not even waking up when we picked him up to get on the tram or in the car. NEXT--Our last day in the parks---Boys' Choice...Where would they choose?
