Day 3 - Magic Kingdom

Bess and Frank are on their way to the monorail...Frank's favorite part of Disney World! Notice...Frank has his gun with him today. He was taken with "Frontierland" the day before.

Bess waits patiently for the monorail...She is ready to get some more princess autographs!

Here it comes!!

For some reason, Bess and Frank wanted to stand up on the monorail and hold the poles. When nobody else was sitting on our side, we would let them do this. This really was one of Frank's favorite parts of Disney.

Bess and Frank loved the train at Magic Kingdom that took us from one side of the park to the other.

After the train dropped us off at Mickey's house, we split up. Big Frank took Bess to stand in line to meet some princesses and I took Frank to visit Mickey's house and to meet Mickey. Unfortunately, we could not both take the camera so I took it with me to get pics of Frank in Mickey's house and we will use the Disney photograph card system to order some pics of Bess with the princesses.

Frank is all smiles when he sees Mickey's bicycle. Frank loves all bikes, esp. Mickey's.

Frank also loved Mickey's bedroom and asked at least 20 questions about Mickey's bed, clothes, pillows, etc. He loved Mickey's "sportscoats," as he called them!

After waiting at least 30 minutes in line, the time has come to meet Mickey Mouse! All of a sudden, Frank was the sweetest little boy in the world. He was not on his best behavior in line...Constantly touching the ropes, trying to disconnet the rope from its hook, running into people. I was whispering in his ear for half of the wait time with threats to not see Mickey or a visit to the restroom if his behavior did not improve. It was not Frank's finest hour.

Well, as soon as the door opened for us to meet Mickey, he got the sweetest most angelic look on his face and barely whispered to Mickey, "Do you have a mama and a daddy?" With that one question, I forgot all about his misbehaving and for about 5 minutes, I just knew he was the most precious child that had ever lived (Don't worry, he got back to his old self in a matter of minutes). He wanted to ask Mickey all sorts of things like, "Do you have a car," and "Where is your car?" He could have stayed in there for days! Mickey had a hard time hearing Frank so I was shouting, "Mickey, Frank wants to know if you have a car?" Then Mickey would just nod over and over so I would sort of prompt him and say, "Your car is in the shop, right, Mickey?" Mickey just nodded and nodded. That was the most fun I had w/ Frank at Disney!

After meeting Mickey and the princesses we went back to the hotel for a little rest and grabbed an early dinner. Then, we came back to the park around 5:30 and were ready for some more fun! The weather was beautiful. It felt great!

Another one of Bess and Frank's favorite things to do at MK was the racecars.

Time for a break and some candy!! Bess and Frank were loving the cotton candy and enjoyed the nightly parade and fireworks.

Time to go back to the hotel....Bess has been wanting to go to the pool so Frank took her swimming for a little while. What does Frank want to do?? Ride on the monorail. So, that's what we did. Frank and Bess hit the pool and Little Frank and I rode on the monorail...Then we joined Dad and Bess at the pool.

Here is Frank's toy monorail we got for him. He really loves it!!

Bess was so excited her brother came to join her for a night swim!
