Walt Disney World - Part 11

Magic Kingdom

Friday - January 25th 2008

Our last day in the parks and of course we wanted to spend the day in the Magic Kingdom, the park everyone associates with Disney. Although we were a little bit disappointed by that park, we still enjoyed a wonderful last day there.

Our first attraction was Big Thunder Mountain, but before we had coffee, a cinnamon bun and a chocolate croissant for breakfast at the Main Street Bakery. Big Thunder Mountain was our favorite ride in the Magic Kingdom. When we left the attraction, a Castmember approached us and gave us a Dream Fastpass. We couldn't believe it, we were awarded a Dream Fastpass twice a week. Great! After the wildest ride in the wilderness we did Pirates of the Caribbean and the Enchanted Tiki Room.

Then we walked over to Mickey's Toontown Fair, because Claudia wanted a picture with the Disney princesses. While waiting for them we met Pluto and Donald.

Before we had lunch at Plaza Restaurant, we used our Dream Fastpass for Big Thunder Mountain and then we did the Haunted Mansion. Plaza Restaurant was a smaller table service restaurant compared to the buffet restaurant in Paris, nevertheless we got a table and ordered our lunch. I had a Tomato-Mozzarella Sandwich, while Claudia opted for a Veggie Burger. Despite a very loud and rude family on the table next to us, we enjoyed a nice meal.

Later we joined Buzz Lightyear to fight the evil forces in Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin. After the lame Space Mountain we did Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress and Tomorrowland Transit Authority.

Then it was time for the afternoon parade and we decided to give Disney's Dreams Come True Parade another chance, but it was still disappointing.

After the parade we travelled with Jungle Cruise through the rainforest. Then we used our Dream Fastpass for Mickey's Philharmagic and a regular Fastpass for the wildest ride in the wilderness.

We were already a bit sad that our wonderful Disney vacation was coming to an end and so we bought some merchandise and just strolled through the Magic Kingdom. Before we left the park we watched the castle stage show and made a last picture of the illuminated Cinderella Castle.

Back in the hotel we had dinner and enjoyed our last evening at Walt Disney World - Where Dreams Come True!
