Magic Kingdom

So yea, we totally went to Magic Kingdom, it was insane! All the rides were totally unique, everything was different, and not a single ride was exactly the same as the other. Most amusement parks I have been to are just repeats of the same ride with a slight twist, Magic Kingdom has a ton of rides and they are all awesome! The first place we went was to Tomorrowland where we rode Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin, where we sat in carts that never stopped moving. Each person has their own gun and you have to shoot Zerg’s evil minions to rack up points and then compare them to your friends. Next we went to Space Mountain, a rollercoaster in the night, its pitch black and you can see stars all around, it was awesome! After that we went to Stitch’s Great Escape, where you are practically in a simulator, it was totally awesome how Stitch moved around us and all the things they used to make it feel real.

Next we went to Adventureland and rode the Jungle Cruise, a trip in a boat through a tropical forest. The boat driver was totally hilarious and made the entire trip a constant laugh; we even got sprayed by the water elephant. Next we traveled into the dreaded city full of pirates in Pirates of the Caribbean, a boat ride that explores the dark world of living skeletons and fighting pirates! Then we explored the Swiss Family Robinsons Tree-House, the thing is massive and totally awesome. It’s filled with rooms and walkways high above the entire park, there is also some really cool moving devices that make the tree feel alive.

Next we went to Frontier Land, and road Thunder Mountain, a sweet rollercoaster through red rocks. It goes really fast for having no major drop and has some really tight turns and tunnels, it was awesome. We then went over to the Country Bear Jamboree where we sat and watched a comical show given by animatronics of bears playing western instruments. After that we went to the Hall of Presidents, an animatronics presentation that salutes our American history, it was so cool to see all of our presidents moving and talking! There was great music and monumental speeches, it was educational and fun, totally captivating.

After that we went to Fantasyland, a series of carnival rides that each have there own Disney theme. We went through Snow White’s Scary Adventures, where we traveled through a dark forest filled with trees with creepy faces reaching for us and moving in strange directions. Snow White and the Seven Dwarves defeated the witch right before our eyes, it was so cool. Then we went on the Mad Tea Party ride where we spun around and around in tea cups as we spun around a carrousel, it made us all dizzy.

Next we headed over to Cinderella’s Castle and watched the display of fireworks and music. We even saw Peter Pan fly from the top of the tower out into the distance.

So if you plan to go to Disney, Magic Kingdom is an absolute must; it was totally awesome. Every single ride and experience I would definitely have to recommend, this is one park no one, and i mean no should miss.
