Walt Disney World Compliment - Magic Kingdom
Compliment
Took my 5 yr old son to Magic Kingdom yesterday for his birthday, since he's never been there before. While it was terribly humid, the lines weren't too long.
We went on the Jungle Cruise and the cast member, let him steer the boat (totally by chance that he got to do this), but it made him feel so special. (I didn't let him wear his "Happy Birthday" pin since it had his name on it -safety issue).
We also went to Mickey's Toon Town where you can meet Mickey & Minnie. I like this since you don't have to be at a certain location at a certain time. They also have where you can meet Disney Princess' or Disney Fairies. I took him to both since my little man loves the pretty ladies. And at each one, the Princess/Fairy actually carried on a little conversation with him, calling him a Prince and giving him a kiss on the cheek (where her lipstick makes a kiss print). He was in Heaven. He felt very special.
At each of the meetings they have a Disney photographer that will also take pictures and then scans a "Disney Photopass". You keep the card with you so that at any time they take any photos they can scan the card and you can later view and order prints online. I think they stay there for only like 30 days, but I thought it was so cool that they have this service. Of course along with everything else Disney, the print prices are astronomical. But I can share them by e-mail link with other people for free.

Happy to hear that you and the little guy had a "SUPER" time at Disney World! (VH)
Btw, do you think the Princeses will kiss an old guy like me?
About 2 years ago a now well liked and respected member here had an issue with those "Disney Fairies". I forgot what it was about but ALL of us here are glad that you didn't have any problems with them. Thanks again!

Zz, I have made peace with Walt. Oh' and Elvis says Hello.

It's been years since I've been to Disney World were there have been unbearable long lines. The secret is just don't go on spring break weeks or holidays if you can help it. Even in the middle of summer, the lines are reasonable compared to years ago when an hour to two wait per was the norm. The Fast Pass gig they came up with is a big contributer to the solution too.

What's up Supes!
Tell that darn Elvis to drop me a line sometimes or at least write!

I just detest Disneyworld, but for a sweet little 5 year old I'd probably suffer through it. Glad he had a great time..good review.

Everytime I get to go home we make a trip to WDW. It's not only a former employer of mine but where I have fond memories of spending time with family and friends. I told my hubby if we ever move back to Orlando, I'm going back to work there. They have tight rules but the guests (not consumers) are what matters the most to the Disney Dream.

Zz, I passed your message on. Stay out of any haunted houses Walt may have built.
