The Haunted Mansion

The Haunted Mansion is one of Disney's neatest attractions. There was a cool ride inside the mansion. The line was long, but doable. There were plenty of things to look at and take pictures of while we waited in line.

It's a Small World

It's a Small World is one of my favorite attractions (rides) at Disney.  The ride celebrates children and cultures from around the world.  It is one of the original attractions at Magic Kingdom (Disney World). I went on the ride for the first time in 1981 when Mom and I went to Florida. Robin and I went on it in 2017. The line wasn't as long as other attractions.

Disney Parade

The Parade should have been one of the highlights of our visit to Disney World., but it wasn't. It was so crowded. People were so rude. They'd get right in front of you and wouldn't move. It was hard to see the parade unobstructed, let alone get good pictures. The parade featured many familiar Disney characters and movies.

The main characters:  Mickey and Minnie

Two of the Seven Dwarfs
Sneezy

Beauty and the Beast

One of my favorite Disney characters: Goofy
Goat on a float

Not sure who this guy is

Swiss Family Robinson

Swiss Family Robinson is one of Disney's classic attractions and one of my favorites. I remembered it from the first time I visited in 1981 (with Mom and Flo).  It is a walk-through attraction based on the 1960 Disney movie in which a family is shipwrecked on a remote island. There have been several screen adaptions of the 1812 novel. I doubt many from later generations have heard of the movies let alone the book. To them, it's just a treehouse. Regardless, it's a cool attraction to visit. So imaginative.

Disney's EPCOT

I had never been to EPCOT until Robin and I went to Disney in 2017. I visited for a second time in 2022 with Mom and Darlene. EPCOT stands for Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. It is divided into four sections:  World Celebration, World Discovery, World Nature, and World Showcase. We didn't have time (either time) to see all parts.
