We spent a total of 3 days at The Magic Kingdom. We wanted to take our time and really enjoy everything, so we divided our activities across the 3 days. I used the same book and website Dad R used last year in planning our vacation, and once again it worked wonderfully! (The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World and http://www.tourplans.com/) We only waited longer than 20 minutes for one ride (Soarin') on the entire trip, not just at the MK. We walked right onto several rides at the MK on the first day.
We got there shortly before the park opened. Right before they open the gates, they have a little show and several of the characters ride in on the train. It sounds kind of corny, but it really did get everyone excited.
We rode several rides and then Danielle and I stood in line to meet Ariel while the boys rode The Haunted Mansion and Big Thunder Mountain. On our way to meet the boys afterwards, we ran across Cinderella's stepmother and Anastasia & Drisella. We saw 
them last year but didn't actually get to meet them. They were fun. They thought Danielle's bow should stand straight up like theirs, so they bent it up 
for the picture.This is why there are way 
more pictures of Danielle than Tyler. He was less than cooperative when it came to taking pictures.

We took a break in the afternoon and went back to the park for dinner & the light parade in the evening. Disney parades are always worth the 
wait! Before leaving home, I visited the $1 store and bought several packages of light up bracelets and necklaces. The kids entertained themselves with those while waiting for the parade to start and didn't seem too interested in the $15+ light up toys the street vendors were pushing. We had really good seats for the parade, and it seemed like several of the characters waved directly at Tyler or Danielle. Cinderella blew Tyler a kiss, and he giggled about that for quite awhile. The guy next to Tyler patted him on the back and made a big deal out of it, too. It was pretty funny.
There was a long wait for the bus after the fireworks. Here's another benefit of having a stroller! The kids didn't mind waiting one bit.
