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 …

Disney Magic Kingdom New Fantasyland preview

Disney is working hard to create a New Fantasyland area at Magic Kingdom, and much of it is now close enough to be previewed – we saw the new Enchanted Tales with Belle, Under The Sea – Journey of the Little Mermaid, and ate at the excellent Be Our Guest restaurant. Here’s some pictures:

 

 

We also enjoyed fireworks and a lighted Cinderella’s castle!
