The Very Nimbus Diary of zorac, Day Four

Tuesday saw us taking the bus to the Magic Kingdom - twice. Morning and early afternoon were for the "lesser" rides - nothing too serious, and much of it rather twee - but nonetheless enjoyable. Special mentions to The Pirates of the Caribbean (who we’d be seeing more of later in the trip) and the Tigger-bouncing on the Winnie-the-Pooh ride. Mid-afternoon, we headed back to the hotel for a nap and then dinner at the Italian restaurant.

We then returned to the Magic Kingdom to take advantage of the E-ride night - limited capacity opening for another three hours after the park's normal closing (in this case from 11pm to 2am), allowing us to take on the big rides with virtually nothing by the way of queuing. Also, there's the fun of taking on the three mountains in the dark - OK, so Space is always dark, but it certainly added to the fun of Splash and Big Thunder. We also experienced the ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter - a nice piece of "less is more" with well placed effects - and darkness. As the rain had delayed it, we also got to see the late night illuminated parade, which was really quite nifty.
