The Dudley Four: Crystal Palace

Today we went back to the MK! It was an Extra Magic day, so we planned to leave the Motorhome at 7:10, to give us plenty of time to make it to the Welcome Show. Somehow we actually managed to leave right on time ;)

We rode all of our favorites again, starting with Peter Pan. We also went ahead and got a FastPass to ride it again later, since the line is always long (which is why before today, we only rode it once). We dodged the rain on and off all day, but thankfully it didn't put a damper on our fun!

We had lunch reservations at the Crystal Palace, where the littles were able to meet Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore and Piglet. Unfortunately Little Bud had a diaper catastrophe during lunch, so he had to finish the meal (and meet some of the characters!) without pants! I will be forever grateful to the bathroom cleaning lady for helping through the diaper clean up!

After lunch we had FastPasses to ride Splash Mountain, but it was closed! So, we decided to head back to the campground and hit the pool, but on our way out, we realized that the afternoon parade would be starting in 15 minutes, and since Big Sister loves parades so much, we decided to hang around. This week is, "Talk Like a Pirate Week" at Disney, so the pirate characters that aren't usually at the Magic Kingdom (Jake, Captain Hook and Jack Sparrow) are making special appearances and they had a couple of pre-parade pirate floats, which was fun to see.

We rode the boat back to the campground and headed straight to the pool. Big Sister and Little Bud had lots of fun! Then, we came back, changed clothes and rode the bikes to the camp fire sing-a-long. Big Sister was excited to get Dale's signature while he and Chip were playing horse shoes with the kids.

Little Bud has finally started walking! If he's in a rush, he crawls (because he's lightning fast on his hands and knees!), but he's walking a lot more, and even stands up to walk in his own. Every day his balance seems to get better and he can walk a bit farther. How many kids can say they learned to walk at Disney World?!
