Aft erwards, it was time to settle the ‘best Walt Disney World® Resort's Magic Kingdom® Park ice cream’ debate: Dole Whip or Citrus Swirl? “The Dole Whip is fresh and rich,” my husband Nick declared. But before he could get into the treat’s top notes, the kids pulled us over to the swashbuckling Pirates of the Caribbean voyage. We all jumped during the ship battle, and as we passed one drunken pirate, Nick noticed the subtle smell of rum in the air. “Those clever Imagineers,” he chuckled. We browsed the pirate store, where Jude selected a sword and swarthy eye patch. The sword came in quite handy on our next ride, the Haunted Mansion , a chilling supernatural journey. Jude used it to ward off the 999 ghosts said to haunt the Mansion. At Be Our Guest for lunch, we passed through a hall of (dozing, snoring) armor and ate kid-friendly French food in the darkened West Wing, based on the mysterious West Wing study of the Beast in Beauty and the Beast . Recharged, we grabbed churros and chocolate sauce in Frontierland before cooling off on Splash Mountain ®, where we got good and soaked. “Just what we needed!” Jude cried to Willa aft er the final, heart-racing five-story plunge. We got in Big Thunder Mountain Railroad’s runaway mine train—a beloved classic for Nick and me. And then, Nick and Wila, both thrill-seekers, hit Space Mountain ® for a high-speed roller coaster ride in dark outer space while Jude and I rode the slower Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin and fought off Zurg with fire lasers. There’s no easy way to say goodbye to Walt Disney World® Resortʼs Magic Kingdom® Park, but the Happily Ever Aft er nighttime spectacular at Cinderella Castle , with its amazing pyrotechnics and appearances by beloved characters from Cinderella to Moana, made for a great sendoff . As we left , Willa pleaded, “Can we come back tomorrow?” ExperienceKissimmee.com 13
