The Magic Kingdom

Always my favorite....The Magic Kingdom.  I knew it was going to be crowded, but I had a plan and it worked out beautifully.  We fit everything we wanted to do into one day (usually we go for at least a day and a half) and were out of there by 5!   Get there when they open, ride space mountain once (or twice if you're lucky like we were), and head to the back to Fantasyland (especially now that the newest rides in the park are there!).

Space Mountain....my all-time favorite ride!

In the new Fantasyland, there is an attraction called Enchanted Tales with Belle where a group of about 30 of us at a time were brought into a room to retell the story of The Beauty and the Beast.  People from the group were chosen to play certain parts in the play.  Ethan was chosen as the Beast, James was a Knight, my Mom was the armoire, Lydia was a portrait, and Nolan was the silverware.  Belle came in to retell the story.  It was very different and very cool!  The kids loved it.
