The Magic Kingdom really is quite magical isn’t it? For those of you who have not revisited your childhood dreams in nearly two or three decades – the trip down memory lane is highly recommended. Many of your favorite childhood Disney rides remain the same as they were thirty years ago and had your first visit been today, Disney’s secret would have been safe! All those rides are just as appealing today as many have been updated and refreshed, but still maintain the same original charm. Here are some tidbits for those of you who remember the wonderment:
Pirates of the Caribbean: Still a favorite at Disney, this ride is exactly the same as you remember it with one addition – Johnny Depp! That’s right, Mr. Depp is now a highlight, laughing and singing along with the rest of those swashbuckling fellers. It’s a true delight (and for those of you wondering if the dangling hairy pirate’s leg is still hanging precipitously over the last bridge – you won’t be disappointed, it’s there!)
Swiss Family Robinson: This one has not changed a bit – it’s still the same giant tree fort you remember, perhaps a little less "cool" from an adult perspective but the kids will love it.
Jungle Cruise: Another oldie but goodie, this ride is also exactly the same as you’d expect. Your boat takes you down the river and through the jungle to the delight of your many animal onlookers.
It’s a Small World: With a fresh coat of sprightly paint, the worlds within remain just as cheery and delightful as they were decades ago. The mechanical dolls appear just as youthful and happy as ever!
Splash Mountain: The thrill, the rush, the wonder – still here and still creating knots in your stomach. The fifty foot drop to the briar patch and big splash was just as scary and totally worth it!
Big Thunder Mountain: Another thriller, totally worth the build up. This one was a barrel of laughs the whole way through!
There were also a few other events which added to the Disney fanfare – the fireworks were awesome, the nighttime lighted parade with floats that appeared to drive themselves was a real treat, and the fact that the park just seemed to stay open for as long as you wanted to be there was also a real surprise. If you have the chance to get back to Orlando and visit the Magic Kingdom, it is well worth it.
