Disney World - Favorites

At the end of our trip to Disney World, we asked Kimmie what her favorite part of the trip was. She immediately said, "Hug Aladdin." Well, we have to agree, that was our favorite part, too. Seeing Kimmie's dream come true was very special.

We asked Kimmie what her favorite ride was. She responded with, "Blue carpet." (The Magic Carpets of Aladdin.) Kimmie and I rode it 4 times. The first day we were at Magic Kingdom, we all rode it once. When we went back at the end of the week, Kimmie kept saying that's what she wanted to ride. When the park opened, Dad and Bethany went to ride Big Thunder Mountain while Kimmie and I went straight to The Magic Carpets of Aladdin. There were not enough people in line to fill the ride, so Kimmie and I rode it three times straight without getting off.

We asked Kimmie what her favorite show was. She responded with, "Magic mouse." (Mickey's PhilharMagic.) We saw it three times. It's a 3D show. We went to it twice the first day we were at Magic Kingdom, but Kimmie wouldn't wear the glasses. Later in the week, when we were at Hollywood Studios, Kimmie started wearing the 3D glasses on the Toy Story Mania ride and then at the Muppet Vision 3D show. So, when we went back to Magic Kingdom on the last day, we went back to Mickey's PhilharMagic and she wore the glasses. But she may have liked it best because Aladdin is in it.

Magic Kingdom was definitely Kimmie's favorite park. We went there the first day after arriving and checking into our hotel. The rest of the week, as we went to the other parks, she would sign "Magic Kingdom." We didn't get to everything the first day, so we went back at the end of the week.

Bethany said that her favorite parks were EPCOT and Animal Kingdom. I asked her why, and she said that Animal Kingdom and EPCOT had more stuff she was interested in, like nature, cultures, and science. She said that she wasn't as interested in the movie stuff that's at Hollywood Studios, and Magic Kingdom was more for little kids. I thought it was a pretty good assessment of the parks.
