We think the Magic Kingdom is magical at night. Don't you? Check out these photos from our latest visit. Happy adventuring!

Presidents, Rides, and Fireworks, Oh My!

Yesterday we spent the whole day at Magic Kingdom, and had an awesome time. KJ went on Big Thunder Mountain for the first time (and liked it!), and we all enjoyed some Dole whips (delicioso!) and the rest of the rides and attractions in the park.


Speaking of, we decided to check out The Hall of Presidents since we didn't do that the last time we were here. Poor Hall of Presidents- so neglected by park goers. Everyone said it was a good place for a nap, but we actually found it interesting. The best part was at the end where they introduce all the presidents, and their animatronic selves nod. Pretty cool.

We also got to see part of the new Fantasyland being built. It'll have some new rides and smaller versions of princess castles. It's scheduled to open in the fall of 2012, so we'll just have to go back!

Along with new restaurants and stores, some of the new rides and attractions include:


The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
Dumbo Dumbo
Storybook Circus
Voyage of the Little Mermaid
Great Goofini Roller coaster

Princess Fairytale Hall
Belle's CottagePixie Hollow

Sounds fun!

We ended the night by watching their fireworks show Wishes! (still cool), and then we fought the crowds to get home.


Today we're off to Animal Kingdom and Epcot. Wish us luck!

Disney: Day 1

Thanks for checking in with us readers! Yesterday we visited Disney, and hit up Hollywood Studios first. It was fun to be back, but since we'd already been there once it definitely seemed different to us. 

We went on some rides and even got to go on the new Star Tours ride that has its grand opening on Friday! The new refurbished ride has 54 variations! It was neat, but left us feeling a little nauseated. 

Afterwards we headed to Magic Kingdom and Chunk got to ride Space Mountain which he hadn't been able to the first time since it was closed then. Dreams really do come true at Disney! Haha. We also checked out a few other things, including the Carousel of Progress, and old neglected animatronic show about progress from the beginning of the century to the "future". It's a great big beautiful tomorrow! 

We then went BACK to Hollywood Studios (a lot of commuting!) so that Chunk could go on Rockin' Roller Coaster (not for KJ this time!). We then ran over to Fantasmic!, a show on water with fire, water effects, light effects, fireworks, and actors. Very cool even the second time!
