• Day 383 - Magic Kingdom

    May 19, 1975 in the United States

    (Ursula) On the way to Mickey Mouse and the Magic Kingdom, we could tune into a radio station that provided instructions on where to park. Genius!

    From there, we were transported by a quiet electric train to the main entrance, where we purchased admission and eight tickets for pleasure rides. Then we were transported into the fairytale world by an elegant monorail.

    We were suddenly in a completely different world—pretty streets with colonial-style buildings. In the many shops, the staff was dressed according to the theme. There are many small shows to see, like Peter Pan, Mickey Mouse, Tiki Birds, etc.

    Everything was well done, and the performances were fully automatic.

    In Future-Land, a thrilling ride blasted us in the dark on a journey through space. That was amazing - I only breathed once and prayed the rails were fastened properly!

    I had imagined the Disney characters walking among the visitors, but that wasn’t the case. The souvenir shops and restaurants were thriving like wild.

    After walking more than usual, our feet felt tired. But we thoroughly enjoyed the Disney experience and relaxed contentedly by the pool at the Holiday Inn.
