The Magic Kingdom: It's MaGiCaL!

note: This post is from last Tuesday.

Today we went to the MaGiCaL Kingdom. (Which is Florida code for what we in California would just call Disney World) Living so near to Anaheim and the first Disney Theme Park, we couldn't help but to compare it to this one. Unlike the ginormous 'Small World' castle at Disney Land (from here on out referred to simple as DL) the Magical Kingdom's (from now on referred to as MK) version was seriously lacking. Not like anyone actually sees the need for such a large castle for such an annoying ride but, it's tradition! Anyways, at MK it's just another hole-in-the-wall ride across from Peter Pan's Adventures. (which had a longer line than Small World, I might add) Although I'm sure we can agree that DL's version is much ado about nothing, it was odd having it so pushed aside. Another interesting difference between MK and DL was (and in my opinion this is actually quite a large flaw) that it does not have the Indiana Jones ride!! *gasp* I know! Tragic, isn't it? We had been all excited to compare them only to find out that there wasn't one at MK! Another ride that MK was lacking happened to be Mum's favorite. The Mattahorn (spelling is sorely off) was not included in the MK experience! Besides all of this, the pre-show for the Haunted Mansion was positively atrocious! Despie these flaws, the Pirate's of the Caribbean ride was done much better than at DL. Overall, both parks are Disney. They are both basically the same. Oh! Exept for the fact that it rained. While we were at the 'happiest place on earth', we had to wait for 2 hours in line at Big Thunder Mountain due to lightning storms and a torrential down-pour. And then we went on Splash Mountain. O_o Tomorrow we shall be going to Downtown Disney. (No, we aren't going to Epcott, but I hear we aren't missing much.) I'll let you know how that goes later!
