Magic Kingdom Top 10 + 2
The Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World is one of those places that is truly magical for me.
I wonder do you feel the same?
1. Pirates of the Caribbean - Jack, Jack, I'm here........... seriously this was one of my favorite attractions long before Jack Sparrow arrived on the scene. I remember as a teen gazing at all the figures thinking surely some of them were real. I think it would be wonderful fun to dress up as a live character and surprise a few seasoned riders like myself!
2. The CASTLE! Why is it that women and young girls alike think the castle is theirs? A glimpse of the castle on a sunny day still takes my breath away!
3. Main Street USA - I'm walking right down the middle of Main Street USA - maybe it's the music, the hustle and bustle, the picturesque castle awaiting me as i descend down the street, but my step quickens, I start singing or humming along and I know I am in a Magical place!
4. Peter Pan's Flight - I'm not quite sure when I realized I was a Peter Pan fan. I have no real childhood memories of Peter Pan at all - so it must have started when I purchased a Peter Pan book for my son Paul. He loved to be read to and there in the middle of the mall right outside the bookstore we sat and I read it to him. We watched the musical with Sandy Duncan, then the Disney version, and somehow over 20 years later I have emerged a Peter Pan fan - loving all things Pan including Hook, Neverland and everything in between.
5. It's a Small World - YES I like it - NO it doesn't creep me out or anything. I think it's a wonderfully fun place and I am amazed at how complex it seems and how much Disney can do with some wood and glitter paint!
6. Dole Whip Float - I have to add Float onto this because what can be better than a regular Dole Whip? More pineapple juice poured over to make it a float.... you've got to try it to believe it!
7. Tomorrowland Transit Authority - Don't ask me why - I just don't know but I like it!
8. Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress - There's a great big beautiful tomorrow shining at the end of everyday - I love history, I love the way the rooms change, I love the song. I wish they'd update the last room it's no longer visionary like it used to be, I want to see what's coming next!
9. Mickey's PhilharMagic - my favorite 3D experience ever!
10. The Hall of Presidents - The first time I visited WDW I was in high school. The next time I was married with my first child. We went every year for 10 years then took a 10 year break and have been back yearly ever since. I have never forgotten how impressed I was with this attraction. I still am. (Repeating myself) I Love history!
11. SpectroMagic - my absolutely favorite parade! Brings smiles and tears everytime!
12. Wishes - Music, storytelling, Tinkerbell and firworks - need I say more?

The pic you have of Jack on top is of one of the American Idol contestants that made it to Hollywood. I will be excited to see if he moves on!

Nevermind, I had IDOL on the brain from your other posts. He is on PROJECT RUNWAY as a designer. DUH!

I was telling Matt when we were there last year that I really was bummed about not so much Space Mountain being closed but because I wouldn't be able to ride the Tomorrowland Transit. JUst like you, I don't know why but I absolutely love going on it and having it whip you around. It's so relaxing and so DISNEY, back in the day. Reminds me of the 70/80's and the skyway you used to take. I like the old rides I guess too.

Wouldn't it be cool if that was how transportation really was? It just ran outside your house and you jumped in and it whisked you all over the place - maybe it reminds me a little of the Jetson's ....who knows but I do like it!
