Day 21: Magic Kingdom

Lucy........
Magic Kingdom is full of excitement, adventure and thrills. Along with those feeling's there are lots of rides to choose from, we were aiming to go on as many rides as we can, especially Space Mountain, but unfortunately they had a few problems....... Wait let me start from the beginning. We went on the 10:00 shuttle and got into the park at 11:10 after going on a ferry to the entrance. We got on a train to Frontier-land and got fast-pass's for Splash Mountain. We hopped into the stand-by lane for Big Thunder Mountain Railway which was a 60 minute wait through winding pathways to the loading dock where the ride would finally start!.......

Finally the day had come to visit the Magic Kingdom.  It turns out that the same day had come for about 95,000 others too!  The sky was beautiful and blue, with not a hint of cloud to be seen.  This meant that it was the hottest temperature we had had so far, and with some humidity built in it was hard going for us all at times.  Standing in long lines wore a bit thin at times, but at least Disney provides lots of entertainment to keep your mind off how much your legs and feet are aching.
We did all of the 'compulsory' rides such as 'It's a Small World' (according to Zac it would make a good set for a horror movie), the Teacups where everyone kept their lunch down, and the Buzz Lightyear shoot-as-many targets as you can ride. Space mountain was to be the big hit but as we got there we were to learn that there were technical difficulties and the ride was temporarily closed.  We went away and came back later when we excitedly made it to the front of the LONG line when there were MORE technical difficulties and we were sent away.  We went back later but it was a no go.  Poor Tom was VERY VERY disappointed (he can't even watch me type this bit), it was the low light of his trip.
Another ride on Thunder Mountain and some quick shopping and we jumped onto the monorail and headed back to the carpark, into a taxi and back to the resort.
