The story goes like this-

 

Shawn found on the Disney Park Blog a very limited time contest entry to do a Castle Tour at Magic Kingdom.  It was open for only about 3 hours.  Mo had sent me one for Everest but i'd missed the entry by 30 minutes so I jumped on entering this one.  Never thinking I would win (I never win stuff) but within hours, while shopping at the Muppets Souvenir shop in DHS, I received confirmation via email that I had been selected.  My instructions were to be at MK and checked in between 7:30-8:00am on Friday.  I didn't shout it from the roof tops because, well what if I overslept/was delusional/missed the transpo to get me there in time/etc.

 

I was petrified I would miss this.  This is actually why at the first sign of sickness I ran to the nearest clinic.  I.WAS.NOT.MISSING.THIS.  I would wear a hazmat suit before i didn't go.  I set my alarm for 5:15 and made Shawn set his for 5:30.  The next morning at 6:05am (usually a 8:45-9 am getting out of bed), I walked out the door.  

 

No buses this early so I had to walk, you'd be surprised though at how many people are up and about-

The boat finally came and I had a nice quiet (except for the engine) on a resort boat all to myself.  Bay lake is quiet tranquil at this hour of the morning.  My first stop was -

I am sure there was a reason for taking this picture but I have no clue what- (BTW, the concierge here needed a Snarky Card)

Now I was going to do something I had never done.  Walk from the Contemp to the MK-

Checking in- They gave us, even if we didn't need it, a one day park ticket which we had to use for entry into the park.  Yes, the watched to make sure we used it.

Finally it's 8 am.  They split us into two groups of 10 and we headed out.  Already too crowded on Main Street for a clear pic-
