Disney Magic Kingdom

Arrived there at about 12 noon. Took a train and than a ferry ride to get there. The place is amazingly big. It has got 4 theme parks and 2 water parks. It will take more than a week to see everything. We decided to only go to 2 of the parks and started with Magical Kingdom, which has the famous Cinderella castle.
When we arrive there was this parade..








We had lunch American style...hog dog, dog nugget and chips..
and started our tour with "Tomorrowland"...
















Shaun cried during "Stitch's escape" ride...

The place is so crowded that it take waiting of half to one hour for a ride. Some of the popular ride takes up to 2 hours to Q.




Cinderella Castle was completed in July 1971, after about 18 months of construction, and reaches to a height of 189 feet (57.6 m) tall -- more than twice the size of Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. An optical trick known as forced perspective makes the Castle appear even larger than it actually is. As it becomes taller, its proportions get smaller.
























Liberty Square and its RiverBoat ride...









"Main Street" Train Station of Disney World Rail Road for train ride...








The kids are most happy playing with water...in Mickey's Toontown Fair outside Donald Duck's boat.....
















and had our picture taken with Mikey inside his house after Q'ing for over half hour..





in "Advanture Land" ...too tired then to climb the tree house...








They are too scared to go to any faster ride. Shaun cried and scream in two of the rides when it turned dark. He is the most gutless boy in the park.

The night is just spectacular. It ends with the best fireworks that I ever seen.













Second day in Orlando, Florida

We rented a Chevy Cobolt which is quite a good little car to drive. Drive like a Celica with 2.2L engine and 150 horse power. It is the cheapest car to rent here, cost me 3 just over 300 for 9 days. A little bit of getting used to driving at the wrong side of the car and the wrong side of the road. GPS from mobile make is easy to navigate.
The kids enjoyed lunch at Mc Donold and late afternoon swim with all the other kids in the Celebrity Resolt that we are staying.
The kids kept waking up at 2 AM wanting food. It is dinner time in Melbourne.
