Magic Kingdom, Disneyworld

Magic Kingdom is the best park to bring small children as there are many "babyish" rides....and many photo opportunities with the Disney characters. There are always many people in the park, even during the "Magic Hours" when we were there.  "Magic Hours" are hours between 12 midnight to 3 am on a couple of nights, where the park is only open to guests of Disney Hotels ......even then, there were still long lines for some rides.


The shows in the parks are awesome.....they are all 4D now...gone are the days of 3D shows....Mickey's Magic Orchestra...(I think that's the name of the show) ...is an awesome watch.

T is not a big fan of roller-coasters...but we manage to get him on almost each of the rides in the parks....Space Mountain ...a ride through space.  is a bit scary and throughout the ride..I had to grab hold of my handbags several times as it almost fell out....it would have been a big disaster if the whole ride had to close for a lady to retrieve her handbag... hahahah....  
Look at the scared face in the 2nd seat


We had the privilege to have dinner at Cinderella's Royal Table in Cinderella's Castle. Its one of the restaurant that is hardest to book but T managed to get a booking months earlier :) . Seated in one of the towers of Cinderella castle, we could take in good views of the park. There were Disney princesses characters walking around, greeting people and taking photographs with the kids at each table. Of course, we're the odd one out as each time a character come to our table....there are no kids(hehe) ...but we will be asking " can we have a picture with you please? " :):) 
One of the most amazing thing of this park is the night time light parade around the park, followed by a light show using Cinderella castle as the big screen to project the many pictures taken in the park during the day. Right after that, there are awesome 15 minute fireworks with Cinderella Castle as the background - my favourite part of the day! You really feel like you're somewhere faraway and magical watching the castle and fireworks.
