Disney World 2009 - Day 5

Today was the biggest day in the history of all Purser vacations! Here is a little background.

For people who stay at a Disney Resort (like we did), they have "Magic Hour" at rotating parks. Steph woke us up against all of our wills to get to Magic Kingdom an hour early. It had been a very busy week, and we were all tired. So after we get there an hour early, we noticed there was no one around. Steph talked to they guy at the gate while me and the kids were sitting down. He said that the Magic Hour was TOMORROW! ARGH! Steph poured on the sob story of how we got up early, blah, blah. She comes over to tell us the news, and we almost wring her neck! After a few minutes, the gate guy comes over and asks, "Since y'all got up so early and were the first ones here, how would y'all like to be the special family who opens the park for us?" UHHH, YES!! So the following pictures are from that adventure.







How many people have seen Magic Kingdom EMPTY?







Here are all the "cast members" who helped us during our "special day."



After the truck ride to Toon Town Fair, we met all the Disney characters and spend time with them.
