To go or not to go...to Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party.
While I find myself anxiously awaiting Spring in Northeastern PA, I also realize I am excited about Disney, and that my friends means Winter in Northeast PA. Hmmm, the struggles and dramas of life...but looking ahead to next winter makes me wonder how fun it would be to attend Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party. This is a gathering for resort goers who want to feel the magic of Christmas in the most magical place in the world. This party incorporates, a musical skit with the Princesses, a very merry Christmas parade, and the spectacular lighting of Cinderellas Castle. Is it worth it, probably, everything else in Disney is! So my plans are to keep checking the website until the tickets are ready then to purchase them for each of us! This is also my Father's Day gift to my dad. Shhhh, it's a secret! If you want to see what it's all about go to http://www.waltdisneyworld.com/ , select Things to Do, from the tabs across the top, and then select , Special events, scroll down to Mickeys Very Merry Christmas Party, Click, and ENJOY! Oh and there are only : 224 days left!

What to ride in Frontier Land!
So with only 248 days left until out trip I thought maybe it would be fun to give you a sampling of what rides are in the Magic kingdom. Now, the Magic Kingdom is broken down into 4 sections, Frontier Land, Fantasy Land, Tmorrow Land, and Adventure Land. Today I am going to focus on our time in Frontier Land.
As you walk into Magic Kingdom and stare straight down Main Street USA you find yourself looking at the ever impressive Cinderella's Castle. On each side of you is the stor fronts of Magic Kingdom. The smell from the confectionary wafts out onto the street drawing you in to buy some of the most delicious baked goods anywhere. But, you are on a diet, (visiting Disney...dieting...should not be in the same sentence...) so you continue down the street to the square where you stand under Walt Disney and Mickey holding hands. To your left you notice an adventerous looking rope bridge, alomost King Kongish looking, do you dare enter its portals?
You bet, you cross over the bridge when you notice that it has the inscription, "Adventure Land". Upon crossing the bridge the first object to come into view is the towering "Swiss Family Robinson" tree house. This trip through the famous tree house allows you to imagine what it would be like to have actually been the Swiss Family on an island, by themselves, the child in you will register that this is THE Ultimate tree house. Next we encounter, "Aladdin's Flying Carpets" this ride, much like the Dumbo rise, is fun, but not for those who get motion sick on round and round rides. Across from the carpets we see the entrance to "The Jungle Cruise", this ride is a slow paced boat ride, where you "help" keep an eye out for the pirates on the river. No hills, no speed, no frills, just slow and steady, with a less then humorous guide telling the story. Upon disambarking the Jungle Crusie we make our way over to "Tikki Room, Under New Management" This is a musical revue in which our feathered friends are the entertainment. Animitronic birds sing songs and tell jokes, it truley is hilariuos. Then Arghh you hear the call of the sea and you embark on what is probably the most popular ride in Disney! The Pirates of the Caribbean! Once in the 12 seater boat, which rides on a rail system under the water, you take a slow cruise through pirate towns, pirate ships fighting and finally a jail. Get motion sick easy? This ride is not going to bother you! Most rides in Disney are mtion sick friendly! That's it for Adventure Land.
Among other things to do here? Meer Princess Jasmine and Aladdin, eat pirate food, and maybe even become a pirate? Who knows?
Next week I will talk about Frontier Land, it's rides, and entertainment!
