Magic Kingdom with Michael

Our Gloucester friend Michael is visiting us for a few days and we took him to Disney Magic Kingdom today (we took him in 2013 and 2010 and before that he hadn’t been since the 1970s!). Margaret planned fast pass rides that Michael likes, and managed to book even more once we’d done our three – with that and a few short queue rides, we had a very busy day!

We did the Swiss Family Robinson tree, Jungle Cruise, Enchanted Tiki Room, Country Bear Jamboree, It’s A Small World, Haunted Mansion, It’s A Small World (again! Michaels favorite), Under The Sea, TTA, Buzz Lightyear, Pirates Of The Caribbean …

Some photos from our day:

Toy Story Land

Our first visit to Toy Story Land at Disney Hollywood Studios – it’s a very nicely themed colorful area, but with long lines for the new (slinky dog roller coaster and alien spinning) rides so we didn’t try them – but we did have a fast pass for the (older) Toy Story Mania, and it was so much less busy that we got on three times within half an hour! Took lots of colorful photos, too.

We also watched The Little Mermaid show, and the new Dumbo movie trailer (which made it even less likely we will bother watching the full movie!) – and stayed for the spectacular but hard to photograph Star Wars “fireworks” which is much more a lighting show and photo story sequence, than a traditional fireworks …
