The Magic Kingdom

Ah, Disney. You lure us in with your promises of childlike wonder and tales of pirates, princesses, and talking animals. But when we get here, it's the tattoos, screaming toddlers, and "we flew all the way from (insert home country here) to see 1950's caricatures of our homeland!" that keeps us interested. Well, at least that's what keeps ME interested.

Today was a great day at the Magic Kingdom, and the two big stories were that Grace was tall enough to ride Splash Mountain and Thunder Mountain, while Grant was able to ride Space Mountain.

I thought Space Mountain might do Grant in, but he LOVED it. LOVED. IT. We ended up riding it twice, and he declared it his new favorite ride. Overall we had a wonderful day, with cool weather, relatively slim crowds, and two great kids who lasted the whole day without melting down. Who could ask for more?
