Ticket to the Magic Kingdom

After 2 very stressful months at work I was in need of some hilarious and mindless fun... so I booked my ticket at Disney world in Orlando, Florida. After enjoying Disneyland in Anaheim, California last year this was the next logical step for me :-)
Arriving at my hotel it looked like they were expecting me. Not only they had the German flag flying but also the Irish... no other flag! That is too much of a coincidence for me... they knew! Impressive!

While Disney has 'only' two parks in California (Disneyland and The Californian Experience) over in Florida they have already four parks... the Magical Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios and the Animal Kingdom. Each park is heavily Disney themed but has its own charm.

So I started my 4-day Disney vacation at the Magic Kingdom which seems to be the most children-friendly one of the four with not too scary rides and Disney characters found at every corner. But I was there for the roller coasters of course ... and there were plenty of it. And because I was there out-of-season the lines were actual not too bad at all... most of the time I could directly walk up to the ride!

But then I had the chance to meet the only Disney character I wanted to meet for my entire trip: Goofy!

We had a great chat about the Federal income tax form W-2 after taking this picture. Thanks for saving me some money there Goody ;-)
