Disney World 2011 - Day 2 - Magic Kingdom

The second day of our vacation (the full first day) was the Magic Kingdom, which to me IS Disney World.  I love all of the rest of it, but somehow, I never quite feel like I'm at Disney World til I visit the Magic Kingdom.  Afterall, it was the first park to open in Orlando!  It was a very rainy day, and it was also our anniversary, so we had a very special dinner with Pooh and his friends.  Here are some pictures!

Matt and I before going into the Magic Kingdom to watch the opening show.  It began to rain shortly after and my hair was a WRECK!

The Train Station at the Magic Kingdom entrance.  The opening show is done here.  A train arrives with Mickey and his friends, as well as a special family that is chosen each day to open the park.  I have a video somewhere that I will try to post eventually!

This is Mickey's house.  It was located in Toon Town Fair, which closed the day after we were there for an expansion of Fantasy Land.  The new Fantasy Land will have lots of new rides, but the sentimental part of me is sad to see Toon Town go.  We didn't even go by there on our Honeymoon, so we made sure to go this time so Matt could see it!

Matt after we rode Splash Mountain.  I had a poncho on but I still got pretty wet too.  Not nearly as wet as he did though!

Me and Piglet.  This was taken at our Anniversary dinner at the Crystal Palace.  We saw Tigger, Piglet, and Eeyore, but we didn't wait for Pooh, because we wanted to get a great spot for the Wishes fireworks.

This is Cinderella Castle at night.  It changes colors throughout the evening and it is just breathtaking.  I must have taken 20 pictures of it!  Then the fireworks started, and Matt and I enjoyed a beautful show that was the perfect way to end our 1st anniversary!

Up next, EPCOT!
