Hello Yellow, this is the one and only Nana! On Saturday, I visited Magic Kingdom with my sidekick, and unofficial WDWNT intern, by my side. Let the magic begin!

A Day at Magic Kingdom

We were super excited for our day, so we arrived at TTC by 7:35 am. The express monorail was not open so we had to take a ferry to Magic Kingdom. I don’t normally take the ferry to Magic Kingdom, but I love to take it back to TTC because it often plays “Remember the Magic” by Brian McKnight on the ferry.

On the ferry, I saw a group fishing at Seven Seas Lagoon. My friends and I have been talking about fishing here one day but have never done it. One day, we will.

After tapping into Magic Kingdom, we spotted a kid and Snow White walking together hand-in-hand. It was such a magical moment. After taking pictures with Snow White, she couldn’t stop telling her mom how excited she was. It warmed my heart. Those moments never get old.

I love the smell of the Main Street Confectionery, but lately, the exterior of the building smells like cinnamon. It’s not a bad smell but I miss the classic scent. Maybe the smell change is in place because of the Halloween / Fall Season?

Another reason I love getting to Magic Kingdom early is to see “Let the Magic Begin.” I love this morning show, though I miss the old train station show, too.

Rides had a rough morning at Magic Kingdom. All of the mountains were down except for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Usually, Tiana’s is down and all of the other mountains are open, so this was an unusual morning. Even Pirates of the Caribbean was closed.

I took the unofficial intern to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure for the very first time. While she had a great time, I was disappointed that the Louis animatronic wasn’t working.

After Tiana’s Bayou adventure, we walked by Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe and found Chip and Dale under the gazebo. According to the Cast Member with them, their usual location at the dock was too wet. For safety reasons, they were moved to the gazebo for the morning.

We then jumped on The Haunted Mansion to check out the now complete scene between the Duke and Duchess. While it was good to see them both back, it was a little disappointing that they weren’t having tea yet.

Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique was taking walk-ups on Saturday, and I really wish I was 12 years old so I could get a princess makeover. Disney should find a way to bring back more “magical moments” for adults, such as when they used to allow us to participate in “Jedi Training Academy” during Star Wars Weekends.

Inside Hundred Acre Goods, we found a MUNCHLINGS slap band!! I love the color and Mickey-shaped sprinkles. It’s $9.99 with tax.

After Hundred Acre Goods, we made our way to Gaston’s Tavern. Even if you don’t order anything here, be sure to take in the smell of Le Fou’s Brew. I wish my room could smell like that.

We stopped in to check on Sonny Eclipse. He was singing his little heart out at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café even if he didn’t have an audience to perform for.

Though I didn’t get anything to eat on Saturday, visiting Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies made me think of something that happened to me on Wednesday. While at Magic Kingdom with the unofficial intern and a friend, we stopped and had the Candy Corn Soft-serve Sundae that Eric and I reviewed back in August. It’s one of the best items available right now. I asked if our unofficial intern and my friend liked it and they said it tasted like Japanese corn. I was confused. It’s candy corn, so how could it taste like corn? We ended up asking a Cast Member who told us that the ice cream was sweet corn flavored.

After looking at the sign on Saturday, I realized it even says that on the menu! I still LOVE the flavor even if I didn’t realize what I was eating.

Finally, I stopped to show the unofficial intern the new Country Bear show. She was so surprised that the theater was fully packed. I’m a huge fan of the Country Bear Musical Jamboree, and I’m happy to report that she enjoyed it as well.

That concludes my Magic Kingdom photo report and my Disney Princess Diary. Let me know what your favorite part of the day was. Have a magical week!
