Sunday, December 26, 2010/Friday, December 31, 2010 (Magic Kingdom)


We caught the shuttle bus to Epcot at 7:25 and rode the monorail to the Magic Kingdom. Catherine bought a WDW shot glass as a gift for a fellow worker (he got her a small, fancy bottle of tequila in Cabo). We had lunch at Columbia Harbor House in Liberty Square at 12:15PM. Catherine’s fish and chips was not good. The fish was greasy and tasted bitter. However my Shrimp Platter was delicious as was the Clam Chowder and Apple Crisp.

During the two days that we visited the Magic Kingdom Catherine rode on Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad several times. We saw Monsters Inc. and rode Buzz Lightyear in Tomorrowland. I rode Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress. We rode the Tomorrowland Transit Authority. We rode Winnie the Pooh, Snow White, Peter Pan’s Flight (my all time favorite) and It’s a Small World in Fantasyland. In Liberty Square, we saw the Haunted Mansion. I like the New Orleans style house in Disneyland better. In Adventureland, we rode the Pirates of the Caribbean. We had a great driver for the Jungle Cruise. We saw The Enchanted Tiki Room. It was changed a few years ago and not for the better. In Frontierland, we saw Country Bear Jamboree. I really miss the shows that they used to have in the Diamond Horseshoe. We rode the Liberty Belle Riverboat and saw The Hall of Presidents. I watched The Christmas Parade while Catherine rode Big Thunder Mountain. The ride broke down midway. Somehow we missed seeing Mickey’s PhilharMagic.

We caught the shuttle bus at 5:15PM back to the Comfort Suites. A lot of tourists stayed at the nearby Best Western. They had a Pizza Hut where we had a nearby Subway. I do not think that they had a complimentary breakfast.
