Day 2 - Welcome to The Magic Kingdom!

A kingdom full of endless dreams for every girl and boy
wondrous lands of make-believe will fill your heart with joy
A castle leads the entrance way to seven lands and more
Step inside our storybook, imagine what's in store!

It's all pure magic wrapped up in pixie dust
Welcome to a place where dreams come true
A timeless journey through lands of fantasy
Where only a wish creates things like this to appear
The most magical place on earth is here!

I'm walking right down the middle of Main Street USA

it's the heart of America, the heartbeat of a holiday
You see the greatest smiling faces up and down the street
It's remarkable how greatly all the people can be
I'm walking right down the middle of Main Street USA!

For the time of your life, you oughta find yourself here
You're welcome anytime you have the mind to appear
I'm walking right down the middle of Main Street USA!

So far so good. We arrived at Magic Kingdom on day two with plenty of time to spare before the official park opening festivities -- which was something unusual for us thus far! After getting our bags checked, we gathered at the foot of the train station where the Main Street Fire Chief greeted us from the balcony.

The kids watched intently as Mickey Mouse and his friends were on hand to welcome us in. The above song lyrics are from the song they played during the opening. By the way, the train station had just had a renovation and it looked really spiffy. Shoe shine, anyone?
