Arrive at CSR at 7:15am and was pleasantly surprised to find our room was available! We were in Ranchos building 7A near Bus Stop 3. We hurried to unpack the car and hop in the bus to Magic Kingdom. We arrived at 9, perfect timing for park opening!
My DD's eyes were wide and the smile on her face was priceless as this was her first trip to WDW. We waited in line to meet Daisy Duck then went to see Mickey in the Backstage Theatre. I exchanged my Photopass voucher for a card while I was there and we bought DD a Princess ears headband.
We walked down Main Street and had our picture taken a couple times by the Photopass photographers then it was off to FantasyLand. I was going to get Fastpasses for Peter Pan but was surprised when someone gave us theirs as we were waiting at the fastpass machines. :)
So I quickly went get fastpasses for Dumbo and was also given a "surprise" fastpass for Mickey's PhilHarmagic.
We used the Peter Pan fastpass then rode It's a Small World and then we saw the PhilHarmagic show. We moved on to the Tea Cups, used our Dumbo fastpasses and then rode the Carousel. Then I went to get fastpasses for Winne the Pooh and was also given a "surprise" fastpass for Dumbo. We went down to Goofy's Barnstormer and then had lunch at Cosmic Ray's.
Next we did the Pooh and Tigger meet n greet then used our fastpasses for the Pooh and then the Dumbo rides. The rain clouds were rolling in so we boarded the train around 3pm at the Fantasyland station and rode it to the front of the park to take the bus back to CSR.
We all took naps (very easy to do when the rain is pouring outside :) ) When the rain stopped we went to Epcot (arrived around 6pm). There was no line for Spaceship Earth so we rode it. My DD called it fake outerspace, I couldn't help but laugh. :) Then we did Living Seas with Nemo and Turtle Talk with Crush. We decided to wait in the standby line for Soarin'. I decided I won't be doing that again when the wait is an hour long.
After Soarin' we walked down to the entrance to World Showcase and waited for Illuminations. We returned to CSR around 10pm exhausted but it was worth it! It was a very fun first day experience for DD and DH first trip to WDW.
