Day 2: Magic Kingdom Magic
Grand Floridian Grill 7:45am
Citricos: 5:30pm
Early wake up day, 6am, out the door to get to the GF for our breakfast….little did we know what awaited us…
Chilly morning travel (45degrees) to the GF and Valet Parking at $33.00. Its a really good trick. Make a morning breakfast reservation at any of the deluxe resorts, valet park (only a few dollars more than standard) and you can park all day at any of the deluxe resorts. The 3 hour ADR time limit is not applied to Valet parking. Also you have the resort monorail or boats for the fastest trip to MK!
While sitting at breakfast we struck up a conversation with the young lady next to us. She turned out to be a cast member whos friend was sick and could not come to the park that day….
So she asked us if we wanted to join her for her cast member preview and ride Tron…
We were over the moon as we probably wouldn't be back for a few years….plus we met a super nice person!
So, we burned the morning riding Tron, and what a blast it was!
So much magic so early! We invited our new family member to tour the rest of the day with us, but she had responsibilities to attend to, and with free admission she goes several times a week.
After such an amazing start to the day, we really didnt have any other wants. Being it was SuperBowl Sunday, we were happy to just ride a few of our favorites.
We did buy Genie and after waiting a short 20 minutes for BTMRR, we opted to hang back and just use the Genie plus now, figuring after dinner crowds would lighten up….
Man was that a great call….
We saw the Dapper Dans, shopped a bunch and snacked around the world.
By 3pm the park started to empty out…
by 5:00, it was a ghost town…..
So off to Citricos for a great dinner, and dessert! Filet was incredible and the Strawberry Salad was sooooo good.
We were offered a nice glass of champagne since they knew it was our anniversary. They also gave us chocolates after dinner to celebrate as well.
Totally empty monorail ride…some thing I had not experienced since 2012.
So back to a dead MK. Some waits on the usual suspects, but its seems that everyone who remained in the park was waiting in a que.
Walk in HM, People Mover, BTMRR, Small world, Poo….
Only waits were 20 min for JC and 45 for Space….and of course PP had a wait.
