Magic Kingdom: Day One

Kitted out in my Minnie mouse ears, I was ready to take on the world. I'd been dreaming of this day for a little over a year now and I was ready, prepared and hungry. OK. Slight exaggeration, but you get the picture. 

The whole square was buzzing with excitement and soon enough I became overwhelmed by pretty much everything. The castle, the characters, the music, the parade; the list went on and on. I hopped into the line to meet Marie the Cat; the cuddliest (and probably hottest) character in the whole park. After cuddles and pictures, we headed to the main shop within the park and my oh my was I spoilt for choice. Everything you could possibly imagine was there in Disney form, everything!

Our first ride of the holiday was the many adventures of Winnie the Pooh ride; we sure know how to kick things off! It was the only ride with a justifiable queue and to be honest, I love a bit of Winnie the Pooh. Other rides of the day included Under the Sea: journey of the Little Mermaid, the barnstormer and splash mountain. I've just realised how little that sounds but seriously, there is so much to see and do that you get distracted from the rides!

Splash Mountain was by far my favourite ride of the whole day, even though it was an hours wait. It was fun-filled and cooled me down after standing in the Florida sun for an hour!

But then we decided to say Goodbye to Magic Kingdom for the day (since we were still jet-lagged) and head back to the hotel room for some food and well deserved sleep!
