A big part of the Disney and Magic Kingdom experience is the parades. We loved all of them from the trolley dancers to the first parade we happened upon – the Move It, Shake It, Celebrate It Street Party. We were just ambling around Main Street one morning when the music started to blast out,…
Fantasyland is probably the area that first comes to mind for most people when you mention Magic Kingdom. Based on Disney’s classic animated films with a bit of a fairy tale theme, I remember being wowed by it all on my first Disney visit, oddly not the effect I experienced this time. We did enjoy this…
My first visit to Disney and the Magic Kingdom, I have to admit Tomorrowland was probably my least favourite land.

Our first family Disney experience was in Paris when Son was four, we repeated it the very next year with a trip to Orlando but have not been back since. Some heavy lobbying from the youngest member of our family meant that when it came to his October two week half term the holiday decision…
During Son’s two week mid-term October school holiday, we escaped the gloomy UK autumn and traded it for the blue skies and sunshine of Florida. (Actually it was not that gloomy but anyway…). Our last night in America was Hallowe’en, much anticipated by all of us, the excitement had been building up throughout our stay and…
