Disney World - Day Four

After a late night last night, Marina and I slept in this morning and went into the Magic Kingdom just before lunch. Marina wore her Jasmine costume today. As we walked down Main Street, Marina spotted some storybook windows. She took a long look at each one.

The first thing she wanted to do was see Aladdin and Jasmine. So we went over to Adventureland to see them. Jasmine was thrilled to see Marina in her costume. I reminded them she had shown them her loose tooth on Sunday. Aladdin remembered he predicted it would fall out that night. I told him it did. He asked Marina what the "tooth genie" brought her. Jasmine pulled a blue jewel out of a vase and gave it to Marina to commemorate the occasion. Marina was thrilled.

Next we went over to Splash Mountain to meet Woody and Jessie from Toy Story. Marina has been quite a fan of Jessie lately. But I couldn't convince her to ride Splash Mountain. Maybe next time.

We went to Fantasyland and looked around Cinderella's castle. We tried to catch the Dream Along with Mickey show, but it was stopped part way through due to rain. But the rain didn't last for long, so we went over to the Fantasyland rides. We rode the Carousel, Dumbo and finally got onto Peter Pan's Flight. Marina said she was scared to try it, but once she was on it, she wanted to ride it again. We also watched the Philharmagic show. The combination of 3D and other effects was amazing. Like all the other shows we've seen, Marina didn't want to see it, but she loved it.

We went to dinner in Tomorrowland. The restaurant had a young woman with hula hoops. Marina said she wanted to play there. So I let her while I got our food. I was amazed at how well she did with the hula hoop. I didn't know she even knew how. She was so good, she had a group of cast members standing around and watching her.

We went back to Fantasyland to ride more rides. When it started getting dark, we got a dessert and sat down on Main Street to watch the Electric Light parade. A nice couple from Vermont made space for Marina on the curb. We had excellent seats. During the parade, Alice in Wonderland spotted her from on top of her giant mushroom. She asked "Are you a princess? Well, hello, Your Majesty!" Once the parade was over, we hung around until the fireworks started. It was a great show. It was a great ending to a fun day.
