Aloha and Holo Holo: Magic Kingdom, Part 2

We were up and at it bright and early this morning, hoping to get some rides in before the crowds reached an overly insane level. In fact, we got to the park just as Mickey and some of his friends arrived on the train. And having finally figured out how to make the most of the Fast Pass system, we rode a good many rides before lunch, though we did run in to a few rides that were experiencing technical difficulties, and the rules about when five-year-olds can ride seem to be a little inconsistent. We also lost a child before lunch, making our Disney experience complete. It was possibly the longest ten minutes of my life, even though we had prepared for this eventuality before we even left home with wristbands printed with our phone numbers and lectures about what to do if separated from the group. When we were all tearfully reunited, we had lunch at Tony's Restaurant (from Lady and the Tramp). The crowds picked up after lunch, but we continued to ride rides and visit characters until we just couldn't take it any more. Then, we headed for the resort for some clothes washing, pool time, dinner and an in-room movie, of the Disney variety, of course.
