walt disney world 2019: the magic kingdom (day 2)

our fourth day in the parks during our disney trip was spent in the magic kingdom.  we spent a full day in the magic kingdom on wednesday, but there is so much to do there that we decided to spend a second full day in the magic kingdom on friday.

here are a bunch of photos from our second day in the magic kingdom . . .

^cinderella's castle is absolutely beautiful and makes the perfect backdrop for photos!  i was excited to get to wear the t-shirt that i bought before our trip with my favorite cinderella quote on it.  (i also have this quote framed at home too.)  ryan even matched me in "cinderella blue."^
^we caught one of the shows in front of the castle as well as the afternoon parade.^
^since it opened, be our guest restaurant has been impossible to get into because reservations fill up months in advance.  i really wanted to check it out because i heard it was themed like the beast's castle from "beauty and the beast" but knew that there were no reservations left.  the stars aligned and one reservation opened up for us to have lunch there.  it was awesome!^
^each room in the restaurant is themed like a different room in the beast's castle.  we ate in the ballroom, which i was most excited to see, and it really was like we were right in the movie.  it even snowed outside the ballroom windows!^
^just couldn't pass up an opportunity to meet cinderella in my cinderella t-shirt!  (she loved my shirt by the way.)^
^it is a must to enjoy a mickey pretzel while sitting on the ground to hold your spot waiting for the night fireworks show to start!^

love, laurie

walt disney world 2019: hollywood studios

after our day in the magic kingdom on tuesday, we continued our disney trip on wednesday at the hollywood studios park.  hollywood studios has such great rides and amazing production shows!

here are a combination of our photos and the photos that the disney photographers took of us during our day at hollywood studios . . .

^when we were at hollywood studios two years ago we saw that they were in the middle of constructing a new section of the park which was going to be called toy story land.  it looked really neat even though construction was no where near complete.  one of the things that we were really excited for about this trip was the fact that toy story land is now open!  everything is oversized which makes you feel like you are one of andy's toys in his backyard.  the details were so incredible!^
^there are several rides in toy story land, but the main attraction is the slinky dog dash roller coaster.  we knew that we wanted to ride it but there were absolutely no fast passes available for it.  so, we got to the park early in the morning before it opened, and we waiting in line for the park's morning rope drop.  as soon as they dropped the rope, we high tailed it over to toy story land and got right in line for slinky dog.  it paid off and we got to ride the roller coaster first thing without having to wait in line.  we lucked out later in the day and ended up actually getting to ride it again in the evening too.  it was such a great ride!^
^we made dinner reservations at a restaurant in the park called the 50s prime time cafe.  the entire restaurant is decorated like a 1950s home and they serve classic 50s food as well.  the wait staff act as if they're in the 50s too.  it was really neat.^
^i had the vegetable lasagna and ryan had a sampler platter of pot roast, meatloaf, and fried chicken.  we split their peanut butter and jelly milk shake too which is one of their famous treats on their menu.^
^the tower of terror has been one of my favorite rides since i was a kid.  it never disappoints and it's always so good!^
 ^ryan loves the rock 'n' roller coaster.  it's a super fast indoor roller coaster in the dark!^
^the evening show is called fantasmic and it's a light and water show that happens on a lake in the park.  it's really a great show!^
love, laurie
