Magic Kingdom: The Rides

 We spent two days at Magic Kingdom.  This park was really crowded on both days- so we arrived early and left in the afternoon.  The Murrays stayed all day on both days, and I think that they literally rode every ride and saw every show in the park.  The primary focus of both of our Magic Kingdom days was on the rides.  As I mentioned in an earlier post, the older kids are getting to the stage where they like the thrill rides, and the Magic Kingdom is the best park for this.
First on the list of thrills was conquering the Magic Kingdom Mountain Range- beginning with Space Mountain.  We rode this twice, and it is a lot jerkier than I remember is being.  The kids loved it though.
 It wasn't that scary for us adults, so we decided to ham it up for the camera.
Next up: Thunder Mountain, which I believe is the best ride in the park.  We rode this four times (and even got Gigi and Papa on it).


 The last "mountain" was Splash Mountain.  We were all able to ride this together (you can't see Julianna in the picture, but she is between Hannah and Kelly).
 We also got to go on the new Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, and it was really good.
 Of course, we had to ride the classics too.  The good news is that even though it was crowded, we didn't have to wait very long for the rides thanks to the Fastpass system.  I love those fastpasses.
