Orlando Day 4

Today was Magic Kingdom, the centrepiece of Disney in Florida. I was struck at how few big thrill rides it and the other parks have; in part that’s a false impression based on our lack of interest in such things, but I still think there’s a deficit compared to, say, Alton Towers. The emphasis on the overall experience instead is what has charmed me.

Lauren: At Magic Kingdom we went on the Runaway Train but I was the only one who enjoyed it. We also went on a jungle cruise which was really funny because the man was cracking jokes.

Sam: My favourite  bit at magic kingdom was the runaway train but I also liked the buzz lightyear laser game.
