Disney World- at night

We knew that we wanted to see the Electric Parade and the fireworks at night at the Magic Kingdom, so we rested at the hotel for the afternoon then got ready to go eat dinner at the park. The parade didn't start until 8pm (I think), and so we decided we could go eat dinner around 6pm there in the park and then do a few rides and see the parade and fireworks. Well, we got there at 6pm and got our dinner, but then I started to notice that people were already sitting on the curbs to get their seats for the parade!!! I made a mommy decision and Tyler agreed that we should sit down and eat and just wait. 

Here's Spencer waiting the two hours we wanted to. 
 Luckily we had brought our phones so he played games and we people watched. 

The castle at night. Pretty purple!

 The Electric Parade started and it was fantastic!!! Here is Tinker Bell waving to us, Spencer waved to her and she got the giggles and it was really cute. 

 Goofy in the train.

 So many lights and most things moved too! 

 Alice on top of a mushroom.

 Mice from Cinderella. 

 Captain Hook and Peter Pan were fighting on this ship.

 The Dwarfs!

 Pinocchio. 

 I'm not quite sure where this is from, but it's a dragon named Eliot. 

After the parade we just stayed in our spots, which were really GREAT seats, and waited for the fireworks to start. They did and it was magical! We loved it!

Yes, Spencer loved it too. I love these faces.





 The finale. 

 All done, so they lit the castle back up. 

And THAT was our fabulous Spring Break trip of 2012! Pretty fantastic.

The dragon is from the movie Pete's dragon. You should really watch it.

Don't they do fireworks every night? That must be SOOOO expensive. I wonder if Peter Pan and Hook fight the whole time, and if they have choreography, and if it ever gets old. I'm glad you had the gumption to sit for 2 hours. I don't know if I would have :) Neato DisneyWorld!!!
