Florida, Day 2

Day 2 in Orlando!  Here are some highlights:

-As we stood in line to board the cars on The Haunted Mansion ride, the attendant repeatedly sang, Gregorian Chant Requiem-style: "Watch your step.  Please want your step".
MADELEINE: Mmm.  Some nice Greek music!

-When we were in the boat at the start of the It's A Small World ride, I pointed and gestured repeatedly at what I thought was a mechanically operated puppet man:
ME: Girls, girls, look!  That guy is wiping his nose!  Look!  Look up there!   Wait.  (Watching him switch to waving.). Is he real?
ETHAN: Yeah, he's real.  That's the attendant.

-During the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, Madeleine shouted out to the Johnny Depp puppet, "Hi, Captain Jack Sparrow!  You're my favorite!!"

-During lunch in Fronteirland, Julia became sentimental over the Western fiddle music playing over the loudspeakers.
JULIA: Mommy?  This music is making me feel sad that we have to leave Monday, like I wish we could just STAY here in Florida!

-Upon leaving the Magic Kingdom this evening, Madeleine announced that so far, the first day was her favorite, but not all the plane parts, just the part where she discovered her Lion King bed.  Yes, that's right, despite the long, boring hours of traveling, day 1 is her face, because the bed trumps 2 days at Magic Kingdom.
