Wednesday was our first day full day at Magic Kingdom. We tried to make the day more for Joshua because he can’t go on a lot of the rides at Animal Kingdom and MGM (he isn’t tall enough). We started out on the carousel.

Next we took Joshua to his first rollercoaster ride. There is one rollercoaster that is designed for the younger children. It is called the Barnstormer. Here is a picture of Joshua waiting in line and one of him riding on the rollercoaster with Nathan.

We didn’t stay for a late day because we were planning on being at Magic Kingdom the next day very late for the after hours Christmas party. We decided that this trip we were going to try to take about every kind of transportation that is available. We had been taking a boat from Fort Wilderness to the Magic Kingdom but there was a smaller open air boat that went to the Wilderness Lodge that Nathan had been wanting to take so when we left the Magic Kingdom we took the regular boat to the Wilderness Lodge.

From the Wilderness Lodge we waited for the smaller boat to come in and take us back to Fort Wilderness. Here is the boat docking and a picture of everyone in the back of the boat.

Once we got back to Fort Wilderness my mom decided that since we would not be going back out to a park that night that she wanted to go to the Hoop-Dee-Doo show. She bought herself a ticket and then found out that they were going to seat her at a table all by herself. Since I have always wanted to go to the show but didn’t want to buy tickets for the whole family because they wouldn’t eat the food that is served, Nathan said he would watch the kids if I wanted to sit with her. Mom bought me a ticket and we went out for the night. Here is a picture of mom sitting at our table for 6!

The show was very slap stick and funny. It had a bit of audience participation. Here is a picture of mom playing the washboard at the end.
