We took the boat to the Magic Kingdom from Fort Wilderness Campground. This is a great way to get there. We really enjoyed riding back and forth during our stay. It was always nice and relaxing.
We rode the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train it was awesome! We really would have loved to get a chance to ride again, but just never managed it during the trip. We love the video you get with your Disney Photo Pass. We finally were able to ride the train around the Kingdom! We have tried so many times but never managed it with the girls. We also rode the teacups, neither Jim or I can ever remember riding them before. And this was Elis first time checking out the Tiki Room.
We had dinner reservations at Be Our Guest. When I got the reservations had no idea the Halloween parties were started so early in September! Our reservation was only 5 minutes before the party started. We don’t do Halloween so this didn’t make us very happy; we had hoped to enjoy the Magic Kingdom after dinner. By the time we got done with dinner we were pretty much done anyway and ready to head back to the RV and our pups. We were escorted out of the park! Kind of funny in a way, but very helpful to us. I would never have taken the path he took us and we were out of there pretty quickly. No someone trying to scam and stay into the party may not have been so happy with this. We were thrilled! He told us the parade was about to start, but he managed to get us to the gate without so much as a glimpse of it.
We did enjoy the dinner at Be Our Guest and were seated in the main ballroom. We had thought of sharing dishes and even asked if that was permitted. It was, but we ended up just each getting our own meal. Which was good, I don’t feel the portions were as big as other places we have eaten. Everything we ate was delicious though and yes we tried “the grey stuff”! It was nice to visit with Beast after, although Eli didn’t think so. She stood off to the side with our bags. Unfortunately Beast doesn’t sign autographs. They do allow you to walk around after your meal and explore the castle/ restaurant. So you can see all the rooms, not just the one you dine in.
