I think it's Friday?

 For thIt's so easy to lose track of the days. 

This morning we had a character breakfast booked at the Grand Floridian signature restaurant - 1900 Park Faire. It's a buffet style breakfast, and we got to meet Mary Poppins, Alice, the Mad Hatter, and Tigger and Pooh. Then it was time for more park fun!

Today is our second day in the parks, and we headed off to Magic Kingdom again. It just made sense to be there when we were so close, and the other parks were closer to our next hotel. 

Once again we had 3 fast passes pre-booked, but today they were all scheduled for the morning. First stop - Haunted Mansion. Charlotte has always loved this ride, but this time was petrified by it. She cried a lot of the way through it, and refused to pose for a photo afterwards. :(. James wasn't too sure of it at the start, but was ok once we were sitting in the carriages. 

After that we headed towards Pirates of the Caribbean - much more to everyone's taste. On the way we stopped to look at the Swiss Family Robinson tree house, and promised Charlotte she could come back and climb it. 

We then went and jumped on Big Thunder Mountain. 

We wandered around for a bit then, rode the carousel, did some more Sorceror's of the Magic Kingdom portals, and took Charlotte for a ride on autotopia, since there was only a small wait. 

We then decided it would be good for James to get a proper nap in, so headed back to the Grand Floridian for lunch and a sleep. 

While James was sleeping Wayne and Charlotte went and had a swim - enjoying the pool and water slide, and also the Mad Hatter splash area. They came back to the room just after James woke up and Michelle was outvoted - she wanted to go back to the parks, everyone else wanted to swim. 

So we all headed down to the pool where Charlotte tried to persuade everyone that James really should try the water slide. She was outvoted this time :). Everyone else went down though, it was a great slide. 

We had marshmallows on the beach again, then went and bought some mac and cheese and cereal from the shop for the kids and flatbread for Michelle and Wayne. 

The kids had a bath in the super exciting bathroom with the TV in the mirror - and didn't want to get out! - and then went to bed. Once they were asleep Wayne headed out to watch the fireworks from the jetty. They pipe the music in from the Magic Kingdom so you get almost the full experience.
