TONS of Pictures!

Tuesday was Typhoon Lagoon Day. It's a huge water park that is part of Disney World...huge wave pool with massive waves, crazy water slides, a relaxing tube ride around the whole park, and a large kiddie area complete with lots of pool chairs and sand to set up camp. We don't have very many pictures of this day since we left our camera at the condo but man was it ever fun! Once again we had sunshine and heat - we loved it!! Myra loved loved loved splashing around in the water :D and was her ever cute self.



Then on Wednesday we spent 10+ hours at Magic Kingdom. We had a little map of the area and had planned out our day the evening before -- first thing to do was to take the train around the park to Adventure Land and ride Big Thunder Mountain.





It was a bit of a hassle to get ourselves up to the train ramp in the first place and then when we got to the boarding area we were informed that the strollers would need to be collapsed in order to ride. In anticipation of a loooonnnng day at Magic Kingdom - our strollers were loaded down with bags and items we might need during the day. So we missed the train and headed back down the ramp with full intentions of complaining to a crew member about how inconvenient this was. ...and that is when we got these....



Dream Fast Passes! :D How it works is that certain rides have a "fast pass" option. You take your admission ticket and put it in a machine and it gives you a card with an hour time bracket on there - basically it's like someone is holding your place in line and you return between a certain time and get to walk right up to the attraction with hardly any waiting time. You can only have one fast pass at a time. Well!...with a dream fast pass - we had fast passes to all eligible fast pass rides at once and could choose anytime throughout the day to use them. Myra and Nate got fast passes too, which was funny cause they don't even need a ticket, so we got to enjoy some rides more than once. It made for such a fun day - minimal waiting in line and other crew members when they saw us would congratulate us on our fast passes :D

Here are some snapshots of our day...

Baby ducks in the bushes - so cute!

Nap time.



Hanging out with Nate while Ian and Anita rode Space Mountain.



Cuteness!







Later in the day we decided to park the strollers and ride the train around the entire park.





Myra mastering the camel-back. By the end of the day she would reach for the hose herself and bring it to her mouth for a drink. :D



Waiting in line for the Jungle Cruise ride.



One of my favourite parts of the day was taking Myra on the "Small World" attraction. She was mezmorized by all the lights and singing.









Both Nate and Myra seemed to enjoy the ride so much that Anita and I decided to take them on a second time while the guys went on another ride. This time they knew what to expect - Nate squealed so loudly as the ride started - it was really funny!



Here's a video of Myra enjoying the ride ...it's quite dark but you can see she's signing "light" just like Auntie Rosanna taught her. :D
