Magic Kingdom ....Can't get enough!!!

 Hello again!! we are still on our journey through Disney World's Magic Kingdom!! Did some digging and wanted to shae some facts about this wonderful place with all of you....It open on October 1, 1971..unfortunantly.. it's creator Walt Disney dies on December 15, 1966 before construction was even begun..I am super sure he would be oh so proud though! Disney World employees over 62,000 people..making it the largest single site employeer in the entire USA!! Upon entering the park you are deposited right onto Main Street USA..which was inspired by Walt Disney's hometown  Marcelin, Missouri..fabulous!! What a childhood he must have had!!

Cinderella's Castle is constructed from fiberglass designed to look like stone!! The Magic Kingdom alone welcomes more than 17.2 million people a year..47,000 a day!! Both Mickey and Minnie had large wardrobes..with Mickey having almost 300 and Minnie more than 200 outfits..Minnie..you need to go shopping!! And just for fun..since opening in 1971 more than 1.5 million pairs of sunglasses have checked into the lost and found..about 100 pair a day!! The park has only closed it's doors 3 times over the years..all for storms..on 9.11 the entire park was evacuated in 30 minutes..impressive. Here's to hoping and praying we never see a repeat of that day....Tomorrw will take us to Universal..join us for yet more fun!!
