Magic Kingdom

Disney World is all about Mickey. We saw him all over the park.

Magic Kingdom - We spent 2 Days here, Monday and Friday. Our favorites at Magic Kingdom were Splash Mountain, Space Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Haunted Mansion, Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Jungle Cruise,
and Mickey's Philharmagic. Allan, Nathan, and Joshua all said Space Mountain was their favorite and Emily rode it twice and loved it. Emily's favorite was People Mover and Rachel loved Peter Pan and Country Bears. Stitch's Great Escape...fun but not a must. This was fun because this was the only ride Emily and I went on together. It was just us.
Emily and Joshua were not familiar with Tom Sawyer but loved playing on the island - crossing the bridges and hiding in the cave.

Rachel loves things that are just her size. Right next to the Winnie the Pooh ride is this cute house. Rachel LOVED playing here.

Thanks to my parents, we have seen a ton of Disney movies lately and my family loves Monster Inc. It was a treat to see Sulley and Mike.
Waiting in line is usually the worst part about Disneyworld, but not at the Haunted Mansion was fun. We walked through a graveyard filled with elaborate crypts.
Want to put the books away? Try. Different books are always coming out.

Rachel did so well over the week. She loved stickers and collected them.
The highlight at Magic Kingdom had to be the Mainstreet Electrical Parade.





We loved that we got to watch this parade with cousins.

Wishes Nighttime Spectacular was one of the best shows ever. The castle was lit with Christmas lights and the sky was filled with fireworks. The Magic Kingdom is indeed a magical place, especially at night with Cinderella’s castle lit up. We loved the way the lights on the castle changed and even more when the 200,000 twinkling lights. At Disney it’s all about the details.

Celebrate a Dream Come True Parade had many of our favorite characters.





These parades were made for 3 and 6 year old girls. Rachel's favorite princess has been Cinderella for a long time. Last Christmas, she and Emily received 7 princess barbies. Rachel took Cinderella and Tiana and let Emily have the rest. Tiana was fun for a couple days but she has loved Cinderella for almost a year now.

Disney parades are made for the kids but so are the shows.

A highlight had to be seeing Cinderella's castle. It was one of the first thing Rachel noticed.To end our trip, we had to visit Mickey but Rachel finally crashed.
