Jason finished up his work shortly before we left beautiful Florida. He was a very busy guy! The day before we left, we visited the Magic Kingdom in Disney World together. It was a rainy day, but we set out anyway to experience the fun.
In order to get the Magic Kingdom, we had to take a ferry across a lake. I believe this was Beckham's first boating experience. I don't believe he even knew this was a momentous event.
Upon our arrival, Beckham wanted to ditch the stroller and run crazy. It was a little hectic for Jason and I trying to navigate where we wanted to go and keep track of Beckham toddling around Disney World. We did it though. Sometimes Beckham would stop in the middle of the walkway and sit down for a minute (I'm need a rest, Mom!). Also, there was music playing in the streets of the Magic Kingdom and Beckham would randomly stop to do a little dance to the tunes. I mean, really. If you feel the beat, I guess you just gotta let it out!
We went on a few rides. One of the first one we got on was Pirates of the Caribbean. Beckham was not too big of a fan of the ride itself. The ride is in a little boat in the dark. It made him a little nervous. He held on to Daddy the entire ride.
The Tea Cups were a hit though with Beckham. He loved to spin around on the ride. I kind of wish we had more time to ride that one multiple times because Beckham loved it.
It's a little blurry, but here is proof of us on the Tea Cup.
Beckham also liked riding on Dumbo. He was so excited to see elephants on the ride. It just took every ounce of patience that he had to wait his turn to touch Dumbo.
Close by to the Dumbo ride there were some circus displays, which quickly drew Beckham's attention. This kid loves the animals.
The whole time we were there, we didn't see very many characters, and I was a little disappointed (not just for Beckham's sake....I still like that too!). We did see Aladdin and Jasmine in passing, but we couldn't get a picture with them. However we did ride on the Magic Carpet, which I guess was the next best thing.
Most of the time we were there, we were wondering and exploring new things. We got a treat at Gaston's Tavern and actually saw Gaston hanging around, which was cool for me. The boys could have cared less. We visited Tomorrowland in the park - where Buzz and the Incredibles would be found. We had a difficult time there, even with seeing Mr. Incredible form afar. Beckham didn't have nap that day (no good!). Here we are all teary eyed and wet.
After a few breakdowns, we decided to call it a day. We wondered some shops in the park with Beckham resting on my shoulder, but quickly decided it would be better to go back to the hotel.
Beckham fell asleep in the upright position on the bus ride to the hotel. It was an exhausting day for a little boy.
The next day we left Florida bright and early in the morning. Beckham slept for more than half of the plane ride and when we arrived home, this is how he looked. A little bit haggard.
That's what Disney World will do to you. It is so much fun that it just plain wears you out. But you know what, we loved it. Our little family made some great memories together.
