Disney World - Magic Kingdom

The fun at Magic Kingdom begins with a boat ride to the park.


Mickey mouse is everywhere! On the boat, he's there to give you instruction on putting on a life vest (in case of emergency) and he's also on the pavement tiles.



Here's our ride to the Cinderella Castle at the center of the park.


And here we are at Cinderella Castle!


Our first stop was at Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor. Before the show begins, when most of guests are seated, "something" ran across the benches under our bums and surprised everyone. At certain point of the show, they put on a spotlight at some audiences to participate in their comedy.


The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh ride that took us on a journey through the storybook.


Get ready to race at Tomorrowland Speedway!


Alice and the Mad Hatter in the Mad Tea Party ride.


We bumped into Woody and Jessie on the street.


It's only summer now and it's still a long way to Christmas, but the store is already stocked up with all the cute Christmas ornaments.


Around the castle, we found Mickey and Minnie plant sculptures and we also found a Cinderella water fountain.




Dream Along With Mickey show is just outside Cinderella Castle.


Mickey mouse's mailbox outside Mickey mouse's house.


We were at the end of the very long queue for "it's a small world" boat ride. As we journey through the different countries represented by the dolls dressed up in the countries' cultural costumes, we were accompanied by the same song throughout.


Here's where fairy-tales come alive at Princess Fairytale Hall. We met and took pictures with Cinderella, Belle and Aurora.

Disney World - Animal Kingdom

We spent the third day of our trip at the Animal Kingdom.



Despite being super tired from all the fun we had in the past two days, we still woke up early and caught the first shuttle bus to the park. We managed to reach before the opening hours and found that there's an opening show by the Disney characters before letting the visitors into the attractions.



Welcome to DinoLand!


PetriFries - an interesting name for a food store.


Small animals are available for petting in the Conservation Station.


The Pocahontas and Her Forest Friends show is staged in a sheltered open-air theater. The main character sang Colors of the Wind and there were animal performance too.



Donald Duck and his family were spotted along a creek.



At the Kilimanjaro Safaris, we rode in a jeep to see some wildlife from a distance.


The Tree of Life stands in the center of Animal Kingdom.


Waiting for Finding Nemo musical to start and this was our last stop for today. Since this park closes slightly earlier than the other parks, we went back to Epcot to do some shopping.

Disney World - Hollywood Studios

Day two of our trip to Disney World was spent at the Hollywood Studios.


Giant Mickey mouse's magic hat with a shop underneath.



We couldn't get any FastPass at Epcot because it was already afternoon when we arrive (after checking into the hotel). By then, all the passes had been given out for the day. After grabbing the passes early in the morning, we can now spend more time at other attractions, before coming back here for the ride.


We made our way to Pixar Studios, where Toy Story Midway Mania is located.



The Toy Story Midway Mania is a shooting game and the riders compete with each other to see who can get the highest score.


You've got a friend in me!


The One Man's Dream houses many Walt Disney's posters and castle models.


Timeline of the significant Mickey mouse animation stories.


Model of Le Château de la Belle au Bois Dormant (Sleeping Beauty's Castle).



The Beauty and the Beast live show is performed at an open-air theater. We arrived just barely before the show started and got our seats in the last row, but the view was still not too bad.


It's really hard to resist buying some of these cute, yet practical merchandise! And they make it so convenient for you by sending them to your hotel after payment. (That's if you are staying at one of the Disney World Resort hotels.)


Our night ended with the Fantasmic! water and fireworks show. In our attempt to get better seats, we packed our dinners and ate them while waiting for the show to start.
