This was my first trip to WDW
I had a great time and can't wait to go again although I'm completely exhausted. Hopefully I can get through a day or two tonight.
Day 1 - 10.21
After a red eye flight and a nap at the hotel I finally caught my first glimpse of the Magic Kingdom at about 11AM.
So weird to see "The Magic Kingdom" on the train station.

First look at the castle.

First order of business? Country Bears!! One of my favorites at DL until it was replaced



Very disappointed to find out they weren't playing the Vacation version of the show. But any Country Bears are better than what DL has now. After the show Butterflylark and I wandered around Liberty Square into Fantasyland to Small World.
While the exterior left much to be desired I loved the ride. They had a couple of scenes that were different from DL.


So cute



After the meet and lunch our group ventured over to Philharmagic. Such a great show. I can't wait until this comes to DCA. After that it was onto the Haunted Mansion.

I don't know what it was like before the renovation but the new audio in the elevator and the stairway scene were great. We visited HM at least two more times during the trip.
Meet my Pal Mickey
Here he is in the Hall of Presidents. Before the show, Mickey and Coheteboy's friend Jeff entertained us by singing "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah."

Jeff and Pal Mickey waving to the people on Splash Mountain :wave:

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. So nice to see this ride done correctly. :thumbup:




On this day we also went on POTC :thumbdown, TTA :thumbup:, Space Mountain (reminds me so much of the Matterhorn track), and Stitch's Great Escape :thumbdown:yuck: (awful attraction, will never go on it again). That's it for day 1, we called it an early night as the park closed at 7PM and I was tired from the flight.
