Magic Kingdom with family

Posted on February 25, 2024February 25, 2024 by Ian C.

My sister and her husband are visiting from England and we’ve been hitting the Disney parks quite a lot! We’ve visited Magic Kingdom twice so far, in the day to do some rides and last night in the evening to watch the spectacular projection/fireworks show. Here’s a pile of photos!

Angie & Iain wanted to do Space Mountain; Margaret & I did Buzz Lightyear; we then did Thunder Mountain, the Tiki Room (which is back to its original style!), Pirates Of The Caribbean, and then watched the parade; finally we met Mickey Mouse before leaving …

Cactus shopping

Yesterday we visited Florida Cactus (less than half an hour away) with the local Bloom & Grow Garden Society; we toured almost 20 big greenhouses, with so many varieties / sizes of cactus and succulent! Pricing for the smaller plants was good, and we ended up buying a nice assortment!

Here’s some pictures:

This is what we purchased (total cost about $50):

A return to Magic Kingdom

Posted on February 11, 2024February 12, 2024 by Ian C.

Our first visit to Magic Kindom since September 2019, which was a good and quiet day thanks to hurricane threats – this latest visit was busier but perhaps not as busy as it might be due to the Super Bowl! We got rides at Buzz Lightyear (twice!), Under the Sea – Journey of The Little Mermaid, Haunted Mansion, Winnie The Pooh, Pirates Of The Caribbean, as well as It’s A Small World, Carousel Of Progress and the TTA. We didn’t pay for lightning lanes and our longest single queue was about 45 minutes for Haunted Mansion.

Here’s a selection of photos from our day …
