Lake Buena Vista, Florida: An early morning rise got us ready for the second day of our trip. Today we were going to the Magic Kingdom, the best park in Walt Disney World for kids. The day began with a bus ride to the Magic Kingdom. We booked the 8am bus ride on the complimentary bus that ran from the resort to Disney. The bus shared the route with the Animal Kingdom park as well but despite this being the first bus of the day and both parks opened at 9am, the bus was pretty empty. The bus dropped us off at the Transportation and Ticket Center and then we took the monorail from the TTC to the Magic Kingdom. We made it to the park in time for the opening ceremony as we watched Mickey and Minnie arrive to the Main Street Train Station with all his friends to open the park to all the guests that have accumulated at the park entrance.

Orlando, Florida: We decided to utilize our Disney season passes to celebrate our son's sixth birthday by taking a three day trip to Disney World. For the first time in many trips to the mouse of the mouse, we decided to stay off-site at the Nickelodeon Studios Suites off International Drive. We checked into the hotel early and our room was already available. The check-in was simple and the staff was very polite. They gave us a complimentary upgrade from a standard room to a pool view room. We were assigned room 152 of the oasis building, a fifth floor unit overlooking the oasis pool. The room is a two bedroom suite with a kitchenette consisting of a microwave, fridge and coffeemaker. The master bedroom has a queen size bed while the second bedroom had 2 twin beds.
