On Saturday, we had a little bit of free time to visit Magic Kingdom. I think that this is the park that I’ll take my family to first. I went on the following three rides:
1. Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin: This ride was a lot of fun. Since I knew that Michael would have loved this ride, it made me miss my sons while I was there. (On this attraction, riders fire their personal laser cannons at various points as they cruise through a space mission adventure.)
2. Space Mountain: For this ride, I would have to leave the kids with my husband - none of them like roller coasters anyway! I had forgotten how much I LOVE roller coasters. (I don’t think that I have ridden one in over a decade?!) I had so much fun on the ride. I laughed so hard that tears were streaming down my face. It was fun and fast with several twists and turns (but none of those stomach-killing steep drops).
And
3. Mickey’s PhilharMagic: This was another point when I was missing my kids. They would have loved this show – especially Sean – he loves, loves, loves Mickey Mouse. Basically, this is a 3-D screen show starring Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and many other Disney characters (i.e. the Lion King, Ariel, etc.). Not only was the show in 3-D, but other elements were added so that all of the moviegoers senses were stimulated (i.e. you could smell the scent of the on-screen apple pie; you could feel the wind; there were light splashes of water; etc.). The kids (as well as the adults) in the audience loved it.
(Below are a few pictures that I took while there….)
