26/6/11 The magic begins

Well, where do I start?  After a slight delay, due to a flat car battery, we hit the Golden Corral for brunch.  Managed to fill our plates many times over, with David enjoying that well-known breakfast favourite: sausages, hot dog sausages, carrots and mashed potato.  Only in America!
Got to The Magic Kingdom by midday, and took the ferry across The Seven Seas Lagoon.  At this point the Magic really began! It was unplanned and totally not scripted and what happened in the next hour was truly amazing. By chance as we walked up Main Street USA the Disney characters appeared behind us as they started the move it, shake it, celebrate it street party. David danced the whole time, to such an extent that Donald Duck came down from his float and took his hand and danced with him. It was awesome! Donald was totally taken by his moves and now David has a new found friend in Donald Duck. What a start to the magic!



We then went to see Mickey's Philharmagic show. This was fantastic. There is a bit at the end when Donald goes shooting across the auditorium and crashes into the wall behind you. All you see is a half buried Donald in the wall with his tail feathers shaking at you. At this point as the 500 strong crowd looks on in awe David shouts out at the top of his voice...Donald!!!!! are you OK!! Drew laughs from all.

We then did the following:
DUMBO
Winnie the POO ride
Pirates of the Carribean
Swiss tree house
Peter pan


David is now very tired. The temp is around 90 degrees. He decides to take a seat on the pavement. Time to go home
