To be sad in a Disney park is impossible– everyone is smiling. Even the children who don’t know what’s going on are smiling.
After a ten-year disappearance, my family (The V’s) was ready to embrace the God-Mouse again—along with thousands of other people at Walt Disney’s Magic Kingdom. We were probably the only group of six people walking around where every member was taller than five feet– watch each step in any Disney park or you may step on an escaped child in a princess outfit. My family’s focus today was to experience EVERYTHING we could together—that’s the biggest difference from all the other Florida theme parks. Normally, there is always someone among the V’s who is too nauseous, too old, or too scared (I’m looking at YOU little bro!) to ride.
Although every inch of the Magic Kingdom contained visitors, queue times were still bearable, and the time spent with my family was priceless. Did I mention the heat? Perhaps I lied in saying everyone was smiling, because many of the paler-skinned guests were swimming in sweat. It was a good day to me, it only gets hotter after today.
The V’s mugged for the camera while looking inside Minnie Mouse’s fridge, danced near some pirates, and joined in the collective OOH and AH as Tinkerbell descended from Cinderalla’s castle amidst the fireworks. (That collective gasp was funny to hear but charming to witness)
Visit the Magic Kingdom along with the V’s by clicking on our tourist-friendly pictures. What? You want the pictures of my family goofing off at the park? Sorry, I don’t want the personal pictures of my family appearing in a Disney ad somewhere… unless we’re offered complimentary tickets to return…
