Orlando, Magic Kingdom
wanted to come back late in the afternoon to get ready to go to the Contemporary Hotel later that night.
Magic Kingdom has the WOW factor from the start. Seeing Cinderalla's Castle as soon as you arrive is just spectacular. Our first ride for the day was Space Mountain and it was so good! JR even went on it twice! Next stop was "speedway" where we all took separate cars to ride. We watched Stitch's Great Escape show, Monsters Inc Laugh Floor show and my favourite, the Presidents Hall of Fame.
I couldn't believe the life-like moving characters of all the Presidents - they were all so good!
We really enjoyed the fast paced Splash Mountain and the Big Thunder Gold Mine - it was all very exhausting even though we were "fast passing" all day long. We loved our day at the Magic Kingdom!
Mel and Linda - our "favourite" ride the "Orbiter" is still operating at the Magic Kingdom although this visit we sensibly decided to "give it a miss". We took plenty of photos of the "Orbiter" for you, just so that you can reminisce!
We arrived back at our Embassy Suites hotel about 4pm - just enough time for a quick swim and spa before getting ready to go to the "Pirates and Pals Fireworks Spectacular" at the Contemporary Hotel. We finally found the correct ballroom at the hotel where we were greeted by Captain Hook and Mr Smee together with our pirate "host" for the evening.
We firstly had to 'stock up" on snacks and beverages to take along on our cruise of the Walt Disney Lake to watch the fireworks and light show. The boat we travelled on was great - very spacious and clean and we travelled with a fabulous load of Americans and Canadians.
The fireworks display co-ordinated to Disney music was just magical! We didn't want the show to end as it was just so terrific. A big thank you to the Norvock family for advising us about this tour which we consider "a must" when visiting Orlando. It was a wonderful way to spend our last night in Orlando!
