Raindrops keep falling on our heads, but that doesn't mean we're not going to ride everything at Magic Kingdom!

We woke on on Tuesday to the gentle pitter patter of falling rain on our tent. Inside the tent, it sounded like a torrential downpour, but really wasn't that bad in reality. We sucked it up, got ready, and piled into the car to head to the Magic Kingdom.

When we arrived to the Kingdom, rain was falling pretty steadily, but we didn't let this deter us. Thanks to Ithaca for prepping all of us for horrendous weather pretty constantly. While it didn't hinder us, it apparently hindered quite a bit of people, as we pretty much were able to ride anything we wanted in 20 minutes or less. Again, here are some Magic Kingdom highlights:

 - As we walked around in the rain, to cheer us up, we sang Annie throughout Tomorrowland, singing "The sun will come out...this afternoon!" Luckily we were right, however we had already completed most of the park by the time the sun actually came out.

 - We rode Space Mountain three times! Thanks, short wait times! We also took this opportunity to make faces at the ride camera, including one time where we just slackjawed at the camera.

We're all really strange.
 - Also on the list of things we rode three times: Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, including twice at night! Robert also potentially freaked out the ride attendant by slackjawing at her, and she didn't really know what was happening and the ride took off before any of us had time to explain.

 - Buzz Lightyear was also seen three times, and Robert had a hypothesis that one side was more likely to win than the other...results were inconclusive. (I think he was just upset that I consistently beat him.) Enjoy these ride photos:

 - Attraction we were all most fascinated by (and also went on three times, see a theme?): Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor. We were all flabbergasted by how the characters interacted with us personally! Both Courtney and I had jokes that we texted in featured in the show (Courtney had three jokes: Why didn't the skeleton cross the road? He had no guts! Why doesn't Cinderella play soccer? She is always running away from the ball and has a pumpkin as a coach! Why didn't Winnie the Pooh order dessert? He was already stuffed! Zach's joke: How do you throw a party in space? You plan-et!) I was also featured on camera as a 'person who looks like they want to dance', and I proceeded to make a fool of myself for a minute or two in front of the audience.

 - Another way in which I made a fool of myself: I was selected to be a knight in Story Time with Belle! Along with a handful of small children, I got to march in place and shriek along with Belle's story.

Can you tell which one is me?

I GOT TO MEET BELLE!
 - Award for most stupid puns that made us laugh: Jungle Cruise, which we also had to go on twice, just to appreciate the horribleness of the puns.

Me with the card given to us to track the wait time in line...I was slightly obsessed with getting one.

 - We spent a few minutes dancing at Club 626 that night in Tomorrowland, enjoy this picture of Courtney dancing with Chip (or is it Dale?!?)

Dancin' the night away.
 - We (wisely) left the Magic Kingdom right after the sun came out, and returned later that evening for fireworks, parades, and riding things over and over again. We avoided the crowds, got some shuteye, and were able to enjoy the direct ferry from Fort Wilderness to the Magic Kingdom! We also ran around like we were five years old at night, because we had so much energy after our naps. We're also weird people.

 - The Magic Kingdom is actually Colleen's World. She was referred to as Princess multiple times, and everything went her way. We concluded that the Magic Kingdom is actually Colleen's Kingdom, and she is just letting Disney use it.

 - If we were to work at Disney...

Zach: Pun teller on Jungle Cruise
Colleen: Working at Hollywood Studios singing Part of Your World every 17 minutes in the Little Mermaid show
Courtney: Being Belle, reading stories to children, marching in parades, general princess duties
Robert: Buzz Lightyear Ride Tester - to determine if each of the sides of the vehicle are accurately calibrated and score equally.

Other pictures!

Anyway, that's our day at Magic Kingdom. Epcot, coming up next!
