Magic Kingdom

I promised you lovely folks that I would write about the 3 different Disney theme parks that Jeff and I visited last week, so here we go! Starting with the Magic Kingdom, which is essentially Disneyland. 

Pros: 1. You can explore the entire Magic Kingdom park within 5-8 hours.

2. The Castle is the main focal point, and it's spectacular.

3. You can walk through, and around the castle while the fireworks go off in the back of the park..leaving you with plenty more options of where to sit or stand.

4. The look and feel of the Magic Kingdom is about the same as Disneyland.

5. It seemed as though the characters had a lot more meet and greet places/times.

6. The electrical parade was so cool!! 

((Although, I have to admit I've never watched any of the shows at Disneyland in So Cal...so I'm not sure if it's something Disneyland already has or not))

Cons: 1. The park seemed too small, and therefore somewhat boring.

2. The rides weren't as good as Disneyland (my opinion, not everyone's).

3. Boring.

4. Boring.

5. Boring.

This was a show about all our President's...I have to admit, this was amazing!! I loved it. I'm not sure if Disneyland has this show, but the Magic Kingdom show was spectacular, and very patriotic. It made me hope for America to go back to it's roots.

I know, I know...it seems odd to say that the Magic Kingdom is boring. I don't mean to sound ungrateful, or rude, or negative, but I was expecting this amazing, spectacular, once in a lifetime Disney theme park. What I got was a bad attempt at copying Disneyland. As a Disney fanatic, I feel bad for disliking the Magic Kingdom, but I just can't help it. Of course, I'm spoiled in that I am an annual Disneyland passport holder, so that could be where the fault lies. I'm used to Disneyland in Southern California. It's a huge park, with many rides, characters, and shows. I love that Disneyland gives you so many options, and there is so much going on. It makes it fun and exciting! That's what I was expecting for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom, and unfortunately, I didn't get that.

My suggestion would be to try the Magic Kingdom once...it's definitely a bucket list item to check off. But you only need to do it once. Disneyland is much more exciting!

I'm sure my opinion seems odd, and you may find yourself loving the Magic Kingdom, but for me...I'll stay faithful to Disneyland in So Cal.

P.S. A few more tips: Watch the President's show, watch the electrical parade show, what the firework show, ride the Thunder Mountain ride, and visit Downtown Disney!

I will say that Downtown Disney in Walt Disney World was amazing! It had a 365 days a year Christmas store!!!!!- As a Disney & Christmas fanatic, I was in heaven!!
