Orlando Day 3
So day three… This was our supposed slow day since it was just the three of us since Becca and my Mom were swimming with the dolphins. We took our time in the morning and got to the Magic Kingdom around 11am. He was still pretty pooped and slept the whole way into the park and halfway through his first ride, the Pirates of the Caribbean. He finally woke up at the little flume ride down to the pirate battle since all the sudden there was a rush of air and a little mist of water from the boat. He didn’t freak out or anything, but kept nodding off during the ride. We then went next door to the Jungle Cruise which was alright, but he was already getting crabby and had a little fit on the boat thanks to me trying to clean some boogies from his nose. We could tell today was going to be a bit of a battle.
We took it slow from there and tried to go on the Haunted Mansion after a leisurely walk, but the ride broke down while we were in line. We went back to the stroller and he promptly fell back asleep so we decided to let him sleep and walked around to window shop a bit. We couldn’t pass up some Mickey ears though which we got embroidered with his name on the back. We walked all the way back down Main Street before he woke up so we decided to try and hit up the Haunted Mansion again. This was a mistake. He was so so in line and went ballistic about halfway through the ride. We probably should have known better, but the combo of dark and loud and crabby baby did not work out so well. We were going to try to hit It’s a small world before leaving since the afternoon parade was blocking our path out, but he was having none of that either so we pushed our way through the crowd and out of the park by 4pm.
We were home just before 5 and he slept a good amount and we watched a bit of Finding Nemo before my Mom and Becca took over so Rachel and I could have a bit of a date night. We went back to the Magic Kingdom and got to ride a few more rides, see the fireworks and the Spectromagic parade and have a good time by ourselves before heading back to the condo.
Apparently Izzy was out by 8pm, we got back around 11:30 and he decided he wanted to wake up at 3am because he was super stuffy. We were up for a couple hours before Rachel was able to get him back to sleep so we’re a bit tired this morning.
Day four is starting a bit late since its already noon and were still here. We figured we’d give him some more rest before heading out again and he’s sleeping on Rachel’s lap right now snoring away. When he wakes we’ll probably try to hit up the other half of the Magic Kingdom and meet up with my Mom and Becca.
