Our third day at Magic Kingdom started early at 8am. We were there for Mickey's greeting before opening the park. Then we headed in to meet some more characters. Chip and Dale, Daisy, Pinnochio and Gepetto, plus Jiminy Cricket were at the front of the park. Then Jeff raced back to get in line for Ariel - her line quickly gets to be over an hour long even when the park isn't crowded. After meeting Ariel and riding the teacups and Indy speedway one more time, the girls were in meltdown mode so we headed back to the hotel for a rest. We planned to go back that afternoon for dinner with Pooh and the parade and fireworks. We met a few more characters, went to the Tike room, country bear Jamboree, Hall of Presidents and rode the Carpets of Alladin and Astro Orbitor. There were a lot of crowds that night and we barely found a place to watch the parade. Jake enjoyed it but then just couldn't stay awake for the Fireworks. Jeff ended up holding him for over an hour - his arms were so sore they went numb. Neither girl was afraid of the fireworks (they are scared of the ones our neighbors do) and Rachel especially loved them. We couldn't convince her to leave early and beat the crowds back. It was 10pm when we got back to the hotel - good thing they had gotten a nap that day.
