The Perfect Magic Kingdom Day Part II

Yesterday I started off the week by telling you about the wonderful weather and the great boat ride over to the Magic Kingdom. As I left you yesterday I was telling you about the happiness that was in the air at the gates. In the past when we arrived at Magic Kingdom there have been families that look tired and kids that are cranky. Not that afternoon. Everyone was in such a fantastic mood and who could blame them the park looked so cheery with all the Halloween decorations. Here are a couple of shots of what was in the park…





Happy pumpkins were everywhere! Main Street was decked out with all the "Not so Scary" Halloween decorations. This was the first time that Norwood and I were able to be at the Magic Kingdom during the Halloween season. We had been at Magic Kingdom in 2003 for the Christmas season, which I really look forward to this year, but never during Halloween. We both loved the decorations and took lots of pictures of them.

After admiring the decorations on Main Street we headed over to the train station to catch the train into Frontierland to begin planning our ride schedule to make sure that my sister Monica, who had never been to the Magic Kingdom before was able to see all the big highlights. Norwood and I thought that if we were lucky we might be able to get four rides in that day. Just as we were walking up to board the train we heard the last call. We thought, “Darn we missed it!” But the conductor waited for us all to board. We made it in just in time!

After arriving at Frontierland we walked over to Splash Mountain where we thought there might at least be a half hour wait. Guess what the wait was….5 minutes! We walked right on. And as we were preparing to get into our log a nice woman and her son offered Monica and I the front since it was her first time on the ride. We were soaked!

The day just kept getting better. I will have to tell you more tomorrow about the rides, food and live entertainment that we enjoyed during our perfect day at Magic Kingdom.
