Back to the Magic Kingdom
Our last full day at Walt Disney World was spent at the Magic Kingdom going to Adventureland and Mickey’s Toon Town Fair. It’s hard to believe that we did not cover these two areas on our 13 hour session but they needed to be seen otherwise our trip would not have been complete. Our first […]
