A day at Magic Kingdom

We gambled with the weather today, and won! Overcast turned to sunny and warm, and the predicted rain still has not arrived … what’s more, Magic Kingdom was finally less busy, with shorter queues and less crowds; a good park day, captured in this video:

After arriving and parking surprisingly close to the entrance, we had lunch at the Polynesian resort, then took the boat to the park, and visited Pirates of the Caribbean, Country Bear Jamboree, Haunted Mansion, It’s a Small World, Winnie The Pooh, and the new Ariel Under Sea ride – then left the park via an ice cream stop, and monorail back to parking!

Another Wild Africa Trek

Once again, the best way to enjoy Animal Kingdom is to join their Wild Africa Trek – we took Michael today, for his last day at Disney!

 

Finally, there were two Elephants “fighting” for hierarchy – distant so less than perfect video:

Two Disney parks in one day

We welcomed the new year today with close to 12 hours at Disney, first at Epcot then over to Magic Kingdom! We took Michael, too – who also likes NEMO:

At Epcot, we skipped World Showcase, but enjoyed the NEMO ride as well as Soarin’, Spaceship Earth and some others … over at Magic Kingdom, we visited It’s a Small World, Haunted Mansion, Buzz Lightyear, and finished the day with Disney’s Electrical Parade, and Wishes fireworks …
