| Welcome to the Magic Kingdom! |
This was the last day we were here at Disney World! We have had a fantastic time here in Orlando.
Upon Jonathan`s suggestion, we saved the best for the last for the kids - Magic Kingdom - Where Your Dreams Do Come True -( According to Disney World ).
Today being our last day at Disney, we visited the Magic Kingdom - voted by our kids as their favourite!

| Performance on Main Street, Magic Kingdom |
We had a long day at the Magic kingdom, first taking the tram from the parking lot to the main entrance from where we took the monorail which sent us to the Magic Kingdom.
My husband then realized that he had to go back to Howard Johnson where we just checked out to retrieve his forgotten cell phone. He lost a good two hours in the Magic Kingdom theme park from the moment he dropped us off in the parking lot til we met him again at the main entrance.
Getting to the Magic Kingdom is much more complicated than twenty years go since it has grown so big with many resorts, ferry, docks and so on.

The Magic Kingdom is a place where people of all age group could have fun and enjoy.
Its themes are traditional, just like what we remembered when we first visited the theme park some twenty years ago.

| The modern side of the Magic Kingdom |
Now in 2013, Disney has incorporated the modern technologiesto many of its rides and displays. One aspect of the Magic Kingdom which we really enjoyed was experiencing what the Walt Disney engineers/ designers were able to do with the most up to date high tech wizardry in its programs.
For example at Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor, a live comedy show, we saw Mike, the one eye green monster and Roz- the fish, cartoon characters in the movie interacting and carrying on conversations with some members of the live audience. How could cartoon characters appearing in a movie interact with a live audience? This was a question not just the kids kept asking, we adults wondered about that as well!
Our beloved Donald Duck, Peter Pan, Aladdin swept us away with them in different parts of the world flying into the sky over high mountains, between tall buildings while the Little Mermaid singing and swimming effortlessly under the ocean playing with various sea creatures.
While the Little Mermaid was dashing through rocks beneath the ocean, we actually got sprayed with water drops in our seats! It was totally unexpected!

| Jonathan made sure that his little cousin has a great Disney Experience! |
Jonathan, our younger son who visited Walt Disney when he was eight years old still remembered the ride inside the Space Mountain.
He had so much fun at the Magic Kingdom that he made sure his young cousins go on the same ride this time as he did when he was a kid at Disney.
Jonathan got the FastPass for us to avoid the long lineup. All of us went on the ride except Aunt Yachi who was afraid of height and sudden drops from high place.
We yelled and screamed our lungs out through the entire ride happening mostly in complete darkness.
Jonathan and his little cousins liked it so much that they were willing to line up for an hour in order to ride it for the second time!
One ride which our whole family really enjoyed ( yours would too regardless of age or worry of being spinned around and dizzy) was the Pirates of the Caribbeans - Our group boarded a ship and we had to defend it from pirate attacks by aiming, turning, positioning and pulling cords on our cannons to fire at enemy ships. We were physical involved and had lots of screaming and yelling with our family members together to fend off our attackers. That was our most favorite game as we got to work together to protect our ship!
