Disney’s 10 Most Magical Experiences
by: Cara Goldsbury
How do you narrow down a place like Walt Disney World into
just a few days? A great way is to be sure to experience
Disney’s most wonderful offerings first and foremost and
then allowing the rest to just fall into place. Here are the
best of the best:
An Epcot Illuminations Cruise — Each evening
boatloads of
visitors depart from the docks of Disney’s Boardwalk Inn and
Disney’s Yacht Club headed for Epcot. Their destination is a
prime position under the bridge between the United Kingdom
and France for a view of the Illuminations fireworks
spectacular. Cruises are offered nightly with your choice of
either a pontoon boat seating 10 or a beautiful reproduction
of a 1930s Chris Craft accommodating 6-7 people. Although
reservations can be made up to 90 days in advance, they
sometimes sell out on the first day. Call 407-WDW-PLAY.
Dinner at the California Grill — The California Grill on the
15th floor of Disney’s Contemporary Resort is a definite
highlight for any connoisseur of cutting-edge cuisine.
Through immense windows is an unbeatable panorama of
the Magic Kingdom and the Seven Seas Lagoon and on
many nights picture-perfect views of the Wishes fireworks.
From pristinely fresh sushi to the exceptional New American
Cuisine to sensational desserts and the outstanding
California wine list, this place has it all.
Breakfast With Cinderella — High atop Cinderella’s
Castle in the Magic Kingdom is your chance to feast in a
fairytale setting with Cinderella, Jasmine, Aladdin, and Belle.
Kids love the grand dining room where through glittering
leaded-glass windows is a birds-eye view of Fantasyland.
The characters make their way around the dining room and
give each child quality time signing autographs and posing
for pictures.
Beachside Vista of the Magic Kingdom’s Fireworks —
On evenings when fireworks are on the Magic Kingdom’s
agenda, head to one of the Polynesian Resort’s idyllic white-
sand beaches, grab a hammock, kick back, and view the
festivities.
Your First Glimpse of Cinderella’s Castle — As you walk
under the train station at the Magic Kingdom and into a
world of make believe, the splendor of Main Street is spread
out before you with that celebrated fairy tale castle sitting at
the end.
The Sight of Exotic Animals Grazing Below Your
Guestroom Stay at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge comes
with a view of its marvelous savanna filled with hundreds of
roaming exotic animals. After dark the preserves are lit with
a moon glow effect, perfect for a nighttime stroll or after
dinner entertainment from your room balcony.
A Picturesque Ride on the Monorail — Hop on board
Disney’s favorite form of transportation for a delightful
journey around the Seven Seas Lagoon, through the
interior of the Contemporary Resort, past the Magic
Kingdom, and off through the pine trees on your way to
Epcot.
Cocktails in the Grand Lobby of Disney’s Grand
Floridian Resort — This resort’s favorite gathering spot is
an exquisitely soaring, 5-story lobby of stained-glass
cupolas and filigreed chandeliers. Find a seat on a cushy
sofa and take pleasure in the lively big band orchestra while
sipping a strawberry-topped glass of champagne.
Reliving the Drive-In of Your Youth At Disney-MGM
Studios
— At the Sci-fi Dine-In Theatre, guests are served in sleek
1950s-era convertibles while watching B-grade sci-fi and
horror trailers on the big screen. Waiters on roller skates
carhop the darkened, starlit theater, speaker boxes hang on
the side of your car and, of course, popcorn and hot dogs
dance on the screen during intermission. Though the food is
just so-so, who cares when Godzilla is your entertainment.
A Float Through Splash Mountain — Who can resist the
charms of Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox, Brer Bear, and the rest of
the gang, even if it culminates in one heck of a plunge? Drift
round the briar patch in a hollowed-out log while toe-tapping
music plays among the cabbages and carrots, jugs of
moonshine, chirpin’ birds, and croakin’ frogs as you relax
and bob your head to the beat. As you float through bayous,
marshes, and caverns, all a delight to the eyes with loads of
colorful detail and too-cute cavorting characters, the
heartwarming theme song “Time To Be Moving Along” plays.
It’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face.
