The Magic Kingdom




14th Mar 2013
The Magic Kingdom


On Wednesday Millie and I went to Disney world. You may remember in a previous posting the story that we got discounted tickets by attending a timeshare presentation. There are many different parks in the Disney complex, we chose The Magic Kingdom because Millie has never been there.

The Magic Kingdom is the centerpiece of the Amusement complex and is the home of the mouse, the castle, all the classic Disney themes, in essence the heart of the Disney Magic.

I’m trying really hard to not be a scrooge, and in fact can see why parents would take children from about age 4 to 8-ish. At that age it would indeed seem magical, but I honestly don’t see the draw beyond that age. Anyhow, not wanting to ruin the experience for Millie, I brass’ed it out, only to find out later in the day that she was wondering what all the Disney mystique is about. Obviously, we’re missing something as you can see in the pictures the rest of the world seems to be enjoying it.

Our day in the park was very pleasant, the parade was fun, the gardens are beautiful and we had a nice lunch in an outdoor cafe. The nice day we had at Disney made the four hours we spent in the time share presentation worthwhile.

This is the second of 3 lines you have to endure to get into the park.
