Snapshot Story: Little Girl At The Magic Kingdom
This picture sums up what our Disney World trip meant for us. Everything went very smoothly with the trip. Our family enjoyed eating at Disneyworld – we enjoyed the 1900 Cafe at the Grand Floridan since my daughter was able to interact with Mary Poppins, Les Chef de France since she got to talk with Chef Remy, and my wife and I enjoyed the Brown Derby. We also ate at Cinderella’s table but ironically, my daughter was so tired that she slept through the meal!

Steam Trains at Disney Parks
Watch the video below from Disney on the history of steam trains at the Disney parks. Interesting that Walt had a steam train setup around his house in the late 40’s, and that was a hint of things to come at Disneyland. We always try to ride the train at least once in our visits to the Magic Kingdom – how about you?
