Day 16 Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom, the day Trey and the others had waited so long for. We planned to get to the Magic Kindgom early for a Magic Morning, where we get into the park an hour early because we stayed at one of the properties.  We were hopeful when we arrived and the parking lot was sparse. Disney World is so huge that we thought we had arrived, we had actually only arrived to the landing point where they "bus" you in.  We could either take the Monorail or the boat.  We chose the Monorail, we thought it would be faster.  By the time we finally set foot in the Magic Kingdom, our Magic Morning was pretty much over, but the lines were light.  We were able to hit a few things right away.  We went to this funny show "Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor"  It was the comedy show with the Monster Characters and they use people from the audience etc.  All at once they put a bright light over Curtis and his face showed up on the big screen, apparently he was selected at "That Guy" whenever his face showed up the audience was supposed to laugh.  It was a fun show.  As we left they gave Curtis a sticker that said "I was THAT GUY". The kids loved it.

We made our way through Magic Kingdom, some of it similar to  Disney Land, some of it new.  The only thing we really liked better was we felt the Haunted Mansion was a bit better at Disney World, the waiting in line part was funny with grave yard jokes/headstones to look at while you wait.  We liked Liberty Square and the Hall of Presidents, and the People Mover where you rode on this thing and could see an over view of the park.  Other than that we felt it was a "Diluted Disneyland".  Some of the rides were slower, like Space Mountain, and some were shorter like Pirates of the Carribean.  We thought the ride was breaking down when it got back logged and then we saw people exiting.  No-it was the exit and the ride was shorter. It seemed about half the time. Oh, and when we went back to the Laugh Floor a second time, Curtis was, once again, THAT GUY.

We still had a fun day, and enjoyed it.  It just seems so much work to actually get into the parks, then some of our favorites were missing like Indiana Jones, the Matterhorn etc.  It  felt like they just cut the park in half and made a separate park (Disney Hollywood Studios) and then filled it in with fluff.  I always felt like we were missing out by only having Disneyland near us and Disney World had all the good stuff.  After coming to Disney World, I don't think anyone in our family feels disappointed that we will continue to go to Disney Land instead of Disney World.  We were glad to see it, but we Love Disneyland and Like Disney World.  I'm also glad we didn't come all the way across the country just to see Disney World (some people do) I would have been disappointed if that was the entire purpose of our trip.
