Magic Kingdom June 22, 2016

This morning was a lazy morning as we took it easy and let our bodies recover from the pounding they took the last couple of days. I could barely walk by the time we got back to the home yesterday.

About noon we went to the Magic Kingdom. This time we took the ferry from the transportation center. That was our plan, but we couldn't take the monorail anyway because it was not working.

On the ride to the Magic Kingdom.

When we arrived at the park, I was selected for an additional screening after the bag check. When I went through the metal detector, I set it off so I had to be wanded. I think it was just my watchband.   We went through the gate and picked up a frozen banana for Michael and a bottle of water for me. We ate, drank them and walked into the shop at the end of Main Street. We shopped a little and ended up in the confectionary shop. They had a mammoth cashew caramel pattie. 

We bought one to share and enjoyed it thoroughly. They are like a giant cashew starkle we used to buy at the GRA (Geneva Recreation Association) Christmas candy sale when Michael worked at Geneva Steel.

After enjoying the sweet treat, we meandered down Main Street as I texted friends from work.  I love technology and how we can have a conversation with friends in Alabama, Provo, Utah, Saratoga Springs, Utah, Washington D.C., and Kissimmee, Florida all at the same time. We went to the Tiki Room and enjoyed the show.  

Outside the Tiki Room where you wait to go in.

Then took this picture for Alesha.

 

We used our fast pass for Jungle Cruise. A lot of the same silly jokes and a few new ones. Our skipper's name was Donald. Appropriate for working there. ;)

The line was short for Pirates, so we went on that ride again before heading to Splash Mountain. We loved that the boats let two people sit side by side.  We got slightly wet in our back of the log seats, but not soaked. We thought of Kayla this afternoon a lot since we were riding her two favorite rides, Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain.

 

Here are a few pictures from on the ride.

It was a Zip-a-dee-doo-dah kind of a day.

We had about an hour before our fast pass was available for Big Thunder Mountain, so we grabbed some drinks and sat in the shade to enjoy them. It was hot today, and although we didn't feel the humidity was as high as it has been, we seemed to be warmer and thirstier than earlier days. When we finished our "mountain" rides, we caught the railroad back to the front of the park and headed out.  We stopped and got dinner at Texas Roadhouse. We could eat there and have a great steak and pay about the same as a meal in the park.

 

Michael is feeling more sore tonight and so we are going to relax and watch a movie or swim in the pool and regenerate for our last day at Disney World tomorrow.
