The Magic Kingdom
There's little doubt that on both trips, the kids' favorite place/theme
park was The Magic Kingdom. Staying
at the Polynesian, and being right on the monorail made it very, very
easy to come and go to the Magic Kingdom.
Their favorite individual rides were elsewhere (Spider Man, Incredible
Hulk and Duel Dragons at Islands of Adventure; and The Tower of Terror
and the Rock and Roll roller coaster at MGM), but the Magic Kingdom was
nonetheless
their favorite spot. Their favorite ride there was probably Space
Mountain, with Buzz Lightyear a close second. However, the Haunted
Mansion, Splash Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, Run Away Mine Train,
Its a Small World, and Winnie the Pooh were also some of their favorites.
Nevertheless, it was the whole Magic Kingdom "package" that seemed to keep
bringing them back again and again and again .......

Above we see Kari (in 2000) sitting in front of Cinderella's Castle
(along with Walt and Mickey), and in
front of the Haunted Mansion (in 2001).
In the picture below the kids are zooming down Splash Mountain (you
really have to squint and use a bit
of your imagination to see them, however ....)
