Magic Kingdom

Posted by Dawn at Monday, September 05, 2005


Our last park is Magic Kingdom. Chose this as the last park is because there will be fireworks and parade at night here in Magic Kingdom and I feel the night lights for this park would be the prettiest because of the cinderella castle.



So, when we reached, we walked to the castle to see the "Cinderellabration" where we see the crowning of Cinderella. They showed all the Disney couples like Snow white and her prince charming, Aladdin and wife etc..




we walked to take Splash Mountain. It is a ride where the log will travel in the water and suddenly there will be a 5-storey drop. So, I got a little wet. I used to find all these rides more interesting..but now, I do not find it as exciting already. Guess I have outgrown it.

After the ride, we took the steam train to another part of Magic Kingdom to take another thrilling ride called Space Mountain. We all went for the most thrilling ones. Space Mountain is a rollercoaster in the dark. It was fun but like I said, it was not as fun as I used to take it.

At Magic Kingdom, not many thrilling rides. More for kids. So, we walked and went to those stops with height limit. So, we went to this stop called "Stitch's Great Escape". It is about Lilo and stitch where Stitch disappears and they all of a sudden, you hear stitch whispering in your ear and breathing. Then, he burps and you can smell chilli cheese dog smell..It smells like maggi mee. Ha.. Then, Stitch will drool and you suddenly feel spurts of water on you...to create effect. Quite fun but there was this small kid that keeps crying..cos I think she is scared.

After that, we bought turkey leg for dinner. It is big enough to get me and CT full..Here is CT enjoying his smoked turkey leg.




After that, we went to ride another roller coaster ride, called, " Big Thunder Mountain Railroad". It was not scary at all. Anyway, after that, we took the steam train back to the main gate to take the lights of the stores.

The parade starts at 9pm and we reached back to the main gate at 830pm. I went inside Disney shops to take a look and bought some notepad which I collect. I used to buy when I was in Disney many years ago..and I found it useful especially when I write notes to my students as they find the pictures cute.

Then, I went out to the streets to take the night lights. It is very beautiful and it was brightly litted up. Many people were sitted along the pavements for the parade to start. I could not find a good spot as it was filled with people everywhere.

I finally found a spot behind many people. The parade started and disney characters came in floats with very colourful lights. It was a 30-min parade with all disney characters like pluto, donald duck, mickey, minnie, ariel the mermaid with king neptune, bambi, 3 little pigs, etc.. Very cute.. I managed to catch a picture from the back of the crowd.

After the parade, the fireworks was going to start at 10pm. So we waited and decided to go in search of another good spot to see the fireworks. So, we stood almost in the middle of the road in front of the castle to take good shots of the fireworks. It was very crowded..The streets were crowded like Chinese New Year.







The fireworks was very nice as the displayed it according to Disney music...and different themes. So, the castle will also change colour according to the theme and music.

Show you some more pictures of the spectacular fireworks!

After the fireworks, we went to the entrance to meet up with Kok Fong and wife. But before that, I spotted Mickey waving good bye to the everyone..so I managed to catch a shot of Mickey Mouse waving and talking to the people.

I enjoyed the parade and fireworks very much. What a spectacular evening! Went back to hotel having leg sores from all the walking but it was a great day.

Thank God for good weather...as the weather forecast said it would rain and with thunderstorms.Instead, it was so sunny.
