Day 7: Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom
The second day in Walt Disney World we visited Disney’s Magic Kingdom. This park can be compared to Disneyland in Paris, but is much larger. Getting to the park is already an adventure. The parking far away from the park. You have 2 options to get to the entrance: a ferry across the Seven Seas Lagoon, or the monorail. We took the monorail.
Once on Mainstreet, USA you have a great view of the castle in the center of the park. Around the castle there are 6 themed areas: Adventureland, Frontierland, Liberty Square, Fantasyland, Mickey’s Toontown Fair and Tomorrowland.
Disney’s Magic Kingdom has many attractions that can also be found in Disneyland Paris, but there are also some E-ticket rides we would love to see in Paris, like Jungle Cruise and Splash Mountain.
Space Mountain is a classic that can be found in every Disney resort, albeit in different forms. The one in Orlando is much more futuristic than the Jules Verne style Space Mountain in Paris.
Our general impression of the parc is very good, but we think Disneyland Paris is more charming than it’s big brother in Orlando.
Day 8: Shop till you drop!
On our last day in Florida we went to Florida Mall, a enormous shopping mall. We did some shopping, but the one thing we will remember from this day is World of M&M’s! There are hundreds of different kinds of M&M’s here!
After exchanging some dollars for M&M’s we went to Downtown Disney for the Disney Store and dinner in Rainforest Café. Here you can eat in the middle of the jungle, surrounded by many animals. Every half hour the lights go out and a thunder storm passes through the restaurant.
Day 9: Going back home…
Nine days have past and it is time to head back to the airport to fly back to Belgium. We returned the car and checked in for our flight with lots of memories.
