Meeting Kylie & McKayla in Magic Kingdom on Mardi Gras Day
This morning I woke up early to go meet up with my friends Kylie and Mckayla and their friend Alexis in Magic Kingdom! I was so excited to spend an entire day with them!! This was my first time driving to Magic Kingdom by myself and honestly it wasn't a very bad drive at all. I was nervous about getting turned around, but it's super easy to find if you're just following all the signs to get there from the moment you drive under the Walt Disney World gates. I parked my car in the Peter Pan parking lot and rode the tram to the Ticket and Transportation Center. I felt a little weird doing all of this by myself, but it felt pretty cool at the same time. I rode the monorail to Magic Kingdom and then had to stand in line at Guest Relations to get my ticket linked since I didn't have my Maingate passes yet. The lady at the front of the counter really upset me. I was waiting for her to link my ticket and she told me that if she linked a complimentary ticket to my blue ID, that it was possible that I could get termed for it since it showed up on her records that my Maingates had been mailed a week ago. I almost cried because first of all, no one had told me about my Maingates being mailed already. Two of my roommates got emails saying that there's were ready to be picked up at our Clubhouse, but I never did yet. Also, last night at Epcot, the guy who linked our tickets then never said a thing about possibly getting termed and never said that our Maingates were sent a week ago. She then told me that I could go ahead and buy a regular one-day park ticket for $105.00 or risk it and let her give me a complimentary ticket. I was so nervous and in the moment I wanted to cry because I had no idea that linking complimentary tickets before having our Maingates could potentially get us termed. I just asked her if she could give me the complimentary ticket and she did, but then said "just know that this will be the last time" and I was like "okay". I was so upset after that and all I wanted was to go meet up with my friends!!
I needed to stop on Main Street because the other day when I was in Uptown Jewelers, the lady forgot to take my ink tag off of my Vera Bradley duffel that I bought so I decided that since I was going back to Magic Kingdom today that I could get them to take if off for me. I had the receipt and bag in a Disney souvenir bag and when I went inside and told the lady what happened, she started pulling the duffel out of my bag without me finishing my story and said "well we need to see your receipt", and I was like if you could hold on just one second I could grab it out of the bag for you. Then she looked at the receipt and then looked at me funny and she told one of the other cast members there to go ahead and take it off. She looked at me as if I might have been stealing it, but I promise you I bought it! UGH what a wonderful morning in Magic Kingdom!!!
After that I finally went ahead and met them in line at Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin. We rode that first and then Kylie, McKayla, and Alexis had fast passes for Space Mountain, so I waited for them to go on that since I couldn't get the same fast passes as them. We danced with the characters from the Incredibles at the Dance Party in Tomorrowland (gotta love my land!!) and then headed towards Adventureland for DOLE WHIPS and let me tell you, they were AMAZING!!! I didn't want to finish eating mine! We really wanted to try and meet Gaston, but literally every time we went over there the line was already blocked off, so we made sure to watch the time so we could go try and meet him for the third time! While we waited, we really wanted to ride Peter Pan since Kylie, McKayla, and Alexis never had, plus I wanted to see the new queue line! It was so precious and I really love that they did to it!! After that, my friends had fast passes to do Enchanted Tales with Belle which I really want to do eventually, but I ended up waited for them in New Fantasyland and I went and looked around in Bonjour Village Gifts. I love looking at all the Beauty and the Beast merchandise, and I ended up buying a Belle sparkly pin for my collection!! After they finished, we went ahead and waited in line for Gaston! We only had to wait a couple minutes, but we were so excited to finally be in line to meet him! He is soo good looking and so funny!! He made us all laugh! When we left there, we started walking towards Frontierland and we were hoping to meet Princess Tiana since it was Mardi Gras, but it started raining really heavy and we got stuck inside the Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe. I decided to wear my brand new Disney Dooney and Bourke bag and I really didn't want to get that wet, so good thing I brought the bad with my duffel in it because I ended up putting my purse inside the bag!! YAY! We tried our best to head over to Tomorrowland again because we thought that we might be able to ride Space Mountain since the line might not be too long and it was indoors, so we went there and stood in line together and rode that!! It was lots of fun being with them! After that, we all just really wanted to leave because I didn't want to get stuck driving in heavy rain and since it slacked up some, I decided to hurry and come back! But we had a really good day and I'm so glad I was able to meet up with them!!
