Anything Goes Saturday-Disney Gal Favorites


Disney Gals Roll Call
 Favorite Ride - Magic Kingdom





     Last week we shared with you what some of our favorite snack foods were at the Magic Kingdom. Now that we're all fed and happy, it's time to go and ride some rides! See if any of our favorites are your favorites too!

 

Gayle: "Hello Ladies and Gentlemen and welcome to the world famous Jungle Cruise!" My earliest memory in life is my mom trying not drop me into the water all while keeping her balance as she stepped on board the Jungle Boat. The year 1955-my age approximately 8 months old. To this day it remains the top of my "must do" ride list whether I'm at my home park of Disneyland or the Magic Kingdom. Hundreds of voyages later, I still giggle with glee every time we round the bend to revel in the glory of the 8th Wonder of the World-The Back Side of Water. Someday, when I grow up, I am  going to be the captain of this magnificent vessel!

 

Tricia:  Happy Haunts at The Haunted Mansion for me!! The classics will always hold a special place in my heart and I have a very vivid memory of my favorite ride from about 1982. I recall being on the Tomorrowland bridge with my Mom and Dad at the end of a very long day and realizing that if we ran we could get in one last ride before the park closed. My Dad and I chose The Haunted Mansion and, leaving my Mom in the dust, ran as fast as we could through Tomorrowland and Fantasyland to reach our destination giggling the whole way. It was a great father/daughter moment and we got to bring home a hitchhiking ghost to boot!

Disney Gal Favorites


Disney Gals Roll Call
Favorite Snack - Magic Kingdom


You're hungry and you're on the go to the next ride or show-what do you grab? You've just staked out your spot for the afternoon parade and you are in need of a quick fix-what's your go to snack item? Luckily for you, you're at the Magic Kingdom where the Disney magic is at it's best and there's something for everyone. We asked our Disney Gals what their favorite Magic Kingdom snacks are: 


Tricia: Gotta be ultra-obvious here and go with a Dole Whip from Aloha Isle in Adventureland!! There are about 27 other snacks that are running in at a very close second though. The Mickey Ice Cream Bar and cupcakes (or actually anything) from the Main Street bakery for starters...(mmm...mmm!)

Gayle:  When you're looking for that must have sweet treat, the Churro Cart is where you'll find any and all of the Turners.  Whether it's the one as you walk in to start your day at the end of Main Street or over in Tomorrowland for that late night pick me up, it's Churros for us, extra sugar please!

Heather:  It's a must do on every trip that my husband John and I take to Disney (we even got our 2 year old addicted)...we LOVE stopping at Auntie Gravity's in Tomorrowland at the Magic Kingdom!  We always order a strawberry-banana fruit smoothie!  All smoothies are made with non-fat yogurt and they cost $4.19...however if you are on the Disney Dining plan you can use a snack credit for the smoothie!  These smoothies are so refreshing and delicious!  They are a great way to cool off in the hot Orlando sun!
