Quick Tip Tuesday ~ Where the Magic lies in the Magic Kingdom

Visiting the Magic Kingdom is innately a Magical experience and there is no doubt you will return home with an abundance of Disney memories that will last a lifetime. But to truly take in all that this Kingdom has to offer,  you must slow your pace and listen.  For what you ask?  For the sounds that are hinting to where the Magic lie.

Listen for the Walt Disney World Railroad steam whistle; it blows a welcome that says, “come experience what life has to offer.”  The sounds of the horse hooves as they clip clop down Main Street tell you to slow down and enjoy the sites.  The hypnotizing beat of the tiki drums lure you deeper into Adventurland.

The twang of the banjo and the unhurried whine of the fiddle will set your pace through Frontierland.  The steam whistle of the Liberty Square River Boat calls you down to the Rivers of America.

Prince Charming’s Regal Carrousel plays to a tune that will no doubt make you feel a little more lighthearted and the sounds of Astro Orbiter blasting off into space prepare you for futuristic journeys.

Upon your next visit to the Happiest Place on Earth ~ slow down and listen for the magic.

Magic Kingdom Mondays Montage of Magic

Though I love every park within Walt Disney World Resort, there is something special about the Magic Kingdom ~ It exudes a special magical quality that just can’t be found anywhere else.  If you have visited the Magic Kingdom, you know exactly what I am talking about.  In this Magic Kingdom Monday Montage I am going to share three things I find magical about the Magic Kingdom then I would like you to do the same.  Post your three magical thoughts, experiences, or moments in the comments section so we can spread more magic amongst us all!

The Magic Kingdom Opening Ceremony is a most important magical experience for me!

To stand outside the gates in front of the Train Station and watch Mickey and friends ride in on the Walt Disney World Railroad to greet everyone is an overwhelming feeling of magic and excitement!  It starts the day with the utmost Magical experience.

Approaching the Partners Statue as Cinderella Castle becomes larger than life.

Usually the first thing you notice stepping onto Main Street USA is the awe inspiring beauty of Cinderella Castle.  It beckons you to come down the street to greet her.  In doing so you are introduced to Walt and Mickey standing proud right in front of the castle.  I like to take a moment to say hello to the man I so admire and his pal I so adore.  Seeing this statue evokes a pure magical moment for me.

 Entering Adventureland!

Crossing the bridge into Adventurland and hearing the tiki music play, makes me feel as if I could float down the street with total anticipation of what adventures lay ahead!  Pirates! Cruises through foreign lands! Tropical serenading Tiki Birds! Now that’s Magical!
