Back to the Magic Kingdom

On our final day in Disney World we headed back to the Magic Kingdom. The lines were a LOT longer this time (45 min compared to 5 min on the day we went first) so the kids spent the day just seeing more characters, watching the shows, and just having a good time playing.
They saw Pinocchio as soon as we walked in the gate and were SO excited. Cavin said "I told you he was a real boy!". Too funny.
Then we stopped at the castle for a 'Dreams Come True' show. Jacie was so excited to see the princesses all come out. She just kept clapping and waving.
The whole reason we went back to the Magic Kingdom was to do the two final attractions that we just couldn’t skip.
1)Lunch with the princesses inside Cinderella's Castle
2)The Spectromagic light parade.
The idea of a princess lunch put a scowl on ALL of the guys' faces. But it turned out to be a great meal, and the kids all had a great time. They got to meet all of the princesses and were given magic wands and swords as souvenirs. Of course, the boys wanted to know where Aladdin, prince charming, and all the other princes were. But after a few minutes of making sure none of the princesses had cooties, Caden and Cavin were happy to smile and have their picture taken.

We took the boys to Mickey's Barber Shop right on Main Street. After seeing all of the little girls with their princess hairstyles full of color and glitter, the boys didn’t want to be left out.

Here is the group of us (minus me), ready for the Spectromagic Parade. It was slightly different than the Main Street Electrical Light Parade that Nana and Papa remembered from Disneyland, but it was still a great show. Jacie absolutely loved it. It was definitely worth the wait.
