It's A Small World

Finally spending a day at DisneyWorld! It is just as beautiful and exciting as when we first visited in 1972 just months after the park opened. The campground is spacious and well run and we love staying there. This morning we took the shuttle bus a few stops to the boat dock where we boarded a small transport to the Magic Kingdom. We stopped along Main Street take the traditional photo with Cinderella's Castle and saw some beautiful topiary. We were lucky to catch a performance of the Dapper Dans who sing great barbershop harmony.

We headed to Tomorrowland where we waited a short time to do the Buzz Lightyear arcade ride. Once again Jeff creamed my score in shooting aliens. Then we rode the Wedway People Mover which is now called Disney Transport and then sat through the Carousel of Progress for the umpteenth time. After lunch we walked through the new Fantasyland and saw the Mickey's Philharmonic 3D movie which is very entertaining. We continued on through Liberty Square and Frontierland without waiting to go on any of the rides which all had long lines.  We took the steam train around and back to Main Street where we headed by boat to the transportation center. There we boarded the monorail to Epcot.

As soon as we arrived we posed for a photo with our pal Pluto.

We walked, shopped and rode in Destination Earth with narration by Judi Dench. Later we walked around the World Showcase and had a leisurely, delicious dinner at the Italian Pavilion. We continued on enjoying all the beauty of the place and ended up using a Fast Pass to see Soarin' which is one of our favorite rides. A great day!

We got back to the campground and realized that NASA was launching a satellite at 9:05. We went outside and saw the rocket streaking up in the east. So exciting to see even though we were about 50 miles away.
