So, we finally get to Magic Kingdom. My wife creates a concept called "grab and go", which consists of croissants, bagels and cream chesse, and our Pop best friend....the bowl of fruit.(Melon and grapes). We eat our "grab and go" on the "hold and stand"(Pop bus to Magic Kingdom). These bus rides are as much of the essence of Disney. Tired, sleepy eyed families, teenagers on the brink of breakdowns, being pushed through one more twelve day. The people planning their fastpass attack, and the stories...the minister from Alabama, the schoolteachers, the grandparents, parents, kids, the 25 person family reunion from Chicag. It's all here.
and we walk into the Magic Kingdom, and with one view of Main Street, we are home, back in California at Disneyland. I am thrust back to the time my brother and I rode Pirates when it was brand new...the many childhood memories of family time. We ride Space Mountain, Buzz, My son loves Stitch so we rode the much maligned Great Escape, okay everybody, wait for it, wait for it....twice. Carousel of progress, Big Thunder...and then we are off to Pecos Bills
Pecos Bills...to base a dining experience on a fixin bar seems bizarre to me, but Pecos Bills has great burgers, and a fixins bar. Man, the burger was good with all those mushrooms and fake cheese sauce. My wife has a great non experimental fixin bar burger and my son has a grilled cheese.
This was the first day of insane crowds...one which turns people surly, and other things. A guy in a Dale Earnhardt shirt says," I"m going away from this crush of humanity". How bad are the crowds, is the heat, the impending rain. They all combine with a profundity crazy enough to turn a nascar enthusiast poetic.
We go to Tiki Room. OK, what? The DLand Tiki Room is a classic. Walt is rolling in his crygenic state as Gilbert Gottfried sings hot hot hot. Hated it.
We fast Pass Splash Mountain, son and I leaving the front row lookin like drowned rats...and we go back to the Pop, rest and then go to the Wildrness Lodge for our experience in
WHISPERING CANYON LODGE. More like YELLING COWBOY PLACE. If you are not shy, and like meat, this is the place. Crazy CMs, people yelling for ketchup, large skillets of meat. We are Barbeque people, and the pork is amazing. Sure, there are men singing songs about buttercups, and pony races...but the food was awesome, and the desserts, some sort of chocolate decadence bomb thing, and a bread pudding extravaganza are fantastic...and the Wilderness Lodge is great!!!!
