Our first destination in Walt Disney World was the infamous Magic Kingdom theme park! Journey with me through the lands of the park as I detail our day through pictures, ride descriptions and of course some park eats thrown in for good measure. 
{Tomorrowland}
Must ride: Space Mountain - an indoor rollercoaster through the dark atmosphere above. 
If there's time to kill: Tomorrowland Transit Authority (below) and Carousel of Progress (unpictured).
Skip: Stitch's Great Escape. This dark interactive alien experience was not exciting and slightly odd to be quite honest.
Must Ride: Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin. In this interactive adventure inspired by Toy Story 2, compete against your partner for high score bragging rights!
Eat at: Tomorrowland Terrace: However, apparently, it is only open seasonally. We tried to get food here before discovering it was closed.
Eat at: The Lunching Pad. These centrally located outdoor windows serve a small selection of grub which includes: specialty hot dogs, pretzels, frozen Coca-Cola's and fountain drinks.
I enjoyed a Taco Hot Dog and Adam liked his Philly Cheese Steak Hot Dog. With chips, these are $8.09 each.
{Fantasyland}
Must See: Mickey's PhilharMagic - a Disney movie soundtrack based 3D Movie.
Snack on: Churos!!Must Ride: Mad Tea Party (except it was closed, such a disappointment!)
Must Ride: It's a Small World - a musical indoor voyage set to the theme song on repeat. Tricia, Dave and Dave's sister Maura who joined us for the Disney portion of the trip are pictured above, waiting in line. 
I l.o.v.e this ride. 
Hence all the photographs.
Must Ride: Snow White's Scary Adventure - a journey inside through the dark.
Well it is a must ride if your a 33 year old adorning Mickey ears. 
The lines in Fantasyland were super long during the day so we actually hit up other lands and came back later on in the evening for dinner and to ride Snow White and It's a Small World.
Eat at: The Pinocchio Village Haus
You have a plethora of options here! 
Adam and I shared a Cheese Pizza Combo ($8.39) which came with a side ceasar salad as well as a Chicken Nugget Basket ($7.99) which came with a side of french fries. I drank a hot chocolate. (It was chilly out!)
Must Ride: Haunted Mansion - a journey through the dark with happy haunts.
Must See: Hall of Presidents
At least, it is a must see if you have time to kill while waiting for a Fast Pass ride and are a huge history buff! House of Presidents is a re-imagined audio anamatronics show, now featuring President Barak Obama!
Must ride: Splash Mountain - Plunge 5 stories into Brer Rabbit's briar bush.
If you're in the front seat (which Adam and I were) you're taking a bath. 
Must ride: Big Thunder Mountian Railroad - a runaway train coaster. Pictured below is the the crew in the Fast Pass line to avoid the 50 minute wait!
If there's time: Pirates of the Carribean - join captain Jack Sparrow as you sail through the Spanish main. Arrg matey's.
If there's time: Swiss Family Tree House - a walk through tour of the Robinson's home.(unpictured)
The ride prefaces are merely opinions of myself and other members of my party. The list is not inclusive of all the rides and attractions offered, but is a complete list of our day! Wouldn't you know, this was the first sober day of the trip! Not a drop of alcohol was consumed as Magic Kingdom is a dry park.
{Cinderella's Castle} is the central point in the Kingdom. I took some photographs up close at night.
We stuck around for The Electrical Parade, which runs throughout the streets of the park beginning at 9:00 pm.
The parade features Disney movie characters on elaborately designed light up floats.
Cinderella being chased by Prince Charming
Captain Hook and Peter Pan battling it out in a sword fight
The Seven Dwarfs (Snow White was present but escaped the camera)
Alice-n-Wonderland and the Cheshire Cat, followed by some of the wonderland creatures.
After the parade ended, we retreated back to Main Street USA for the biggest most awe inspiring event ever to grace the Magic Kingdom skies. 
WISHES. 
Narrated by Pinocchio's Jimmeny Cricket, a dazzling fireworks show over Cinderella's Castle reminds you that dreams and wishes do come true. 
There's no place on earth quite like it.
Be sure to check out Not All Who Wander Are Lost where my partner in crime depicts the rides and our day in more detail! You can look forward to Epcot, Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios park recaps from us both in the days to come!
