Vacation Heaven - Day 4 (a/k/a the Big Birthday Celebration)



On Day 4 we went to the Magic Kingdom, and it truly was magic. The Disney people have perfected the Magic Kingdom - I don't know any other way to put it. Even a jaded old woman like me can feel the magic in the Kingdom. Before the park opens, they allow everyone to go through the gates, but then sequester everyone into the entry of the park. After waiting a while in anticipation, you hear the classic Disney tunes and then an announcer comes out to announce Mickey's arrival on the train. Such anticipation! Smiles all around, and a whole lot of excited people. Madeline said it was "exquisite", which is how she kept describing the day.



After the exciting opening show, we had our first view of Cinderella's Castle - young and old alike loved the view :-)



Right away we enjoyed fun, fun rides - Big Thunder Mountain and Haunted Mansion first - Madeline LOVED Haunted Mansion - she was gripping Steven's arm hard! Big Thunder Mountain was fun too - the girl was up for a thrill for sure! Couldn't get pictures on either ride, but I'll remember the look on her face without a photo :-) We rode "It's a Small World" - LOVED it!



Steven and Madeline had a ton of fun Daddy - Daughter time. It's the best feeling for me to see the two of them laughing and playing together :-)





Madeline and I had some silly Mommy - Kiddo time too :-)



This was undoubtedly one of the best days we've ever had in our family. Loved it, Loved it, Loved it! It's going to take two days to blog that wonderful day :-)

Wow! What an experience. Disney does it up! It looks like fun stuff to do for everyone. I think you could spend a couple day sat each park!
