Magic Kingdom

The kids loved our day in Magic Kingdom more than either of the other days we've spent at Disney World--and they enjoyed themselves quite a lot at the other two parks! (The over-30 crowd found it to be a less-than-magical experience, mainly because of the oppressive crowds and a frustrating lunch experience.) The kids loved having so many rides to ride and characters to meet--so many that we couldn't even get to all of them. They are all pretty sure they want to come back to this park on one of our unplanned days later in the week. (The parents will work on their attitudes between now and then, and we will avoid Pecos Bill's restaurant like the Plague if we do go back).
