Spring Training Surprise

So as a special Spring Training surprise, instead of meeting Karen in Downtown Disney for dinner, we went to the Magic Kingdom for dinner and an evening of rides, shows and magical fun!

Pete was in seventh heaven with his Camera - Just when he would think he had the perfect shot, the subject would change colors! I think he has the castle in Pink, Green, Blue, and Yellow, but this is my favorite shot.










We started our evening on Mainstreet and dinner at Casey's Corner, it's a great little restaurant with (you guessed it) a baseball theme! They serve hot dogs, corn dog bites, chili and cracker jack! In the eating part of the restaurant there are tables, but also bleachers so that while you are eating you can enjoy all of the Disney baseball and other sports themed cartoons. The walls were also a museum of baseball history. It was a perfect start to our Spring Training Disney surprise! We rode the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, watched a parade with lighted floats, rode a run-away train roller coaster which we were on when the fireworks started! Then we were off to a 3D musical movie it was amazing! After the fireworks we continued through Frontier Land into Liberty Square and the Haunted Mansion ride. After that it was into the world of tomorrow. There was too long of a line for Space Mountain, but we rode through the whole world and wound up in the Monsters Inc. Laugh floor - kind of a cartoon/live action stand up show.

And because you can only have so much fun, it was time to head home! But not before Pete tried his luck at pulling the sword from the stone and becoming king! As you can see, he did not succeed.

We also couldn't leave Disney without some home-made fudge!


It was a great surprise and we had a blast, Pete hasn't been to The Magic Kingdom since he was 4-5 years old and I haven't been there in 20 years so it was great to see all the updates and new attractions.

We're really not much for group pictures! What a motley crew we are here! But it was a long day and an exhausting but fun evening in the happiest place on earth!
