Magic Kingdom

The Magic Kingdom Is one of the Most Popular Attraction in Orlando

The Magic Kingdom has become one of the most popular US travel attractions to visit in Orlando, Florida since it was opened in 1971. In 2011 some 17 million people visited the Magic Kingdom, making it the most visited theme park in the world.  The 107-acre park features six distinct lands that visitors can enjoy, including the New Fantasyland, which is currently enjoying the park’s largest expansion and has opened two new themed areas: the Storybook Circus and the Enchanted Forest. Here is a short list of the many attractions that the park offers:

·         Space Mountain. Found at the entrance to Tomorrowland, the classic ride allows guests to experience what it’s like to travel through space and time in three-seater rockets. At the end of your rise, a moving walkway will take you to Tomorrowland proper, during which you’ll be able to see scenes of futuristic homes along the way.

·         Splash Mountain. This ride will take you through the bowels of Chickapin Hill, plunging into dark caves and tumbling over waterfalls, and culminating in a five story plummet that ends with a splash in a refreshing pond.

·         Wild Africa Trek. This attraction lets you experience a safari deep into the Pangani Forest and enjoy close encounters with Nile Crocodiles and Hippos by being suspended from a harness on a overhead track laid over their riverbed lair.

Haunted Mansion. This tour of a haunted house aboard a Doom Buggy lets guests experience eerie – but not too scary – sights as the ghosts gradually appear and provide a merry show

If you are coming from the UK to the US to visit Las Vegas, think about bringing your own personal cell phone and buying a local SIM card. By doing that, you will save an enormous amount of money in roaming charges. Plus, you will be able to make local calls free, which will come in handy when touring Vegas as it is easy to get lost in the “city that never sleeps.” There are a LOT of things to see and do in Vegas besides gambling and casinos but if that is what you want to do, you have come to the right place. 

Since Vegas is the city that never sleeps, you will find pretty much everything open 24 hours a day, 7 days per week and even though the slot machines cost money, there are still many other things in Las Vegas to do that will not cost you a penny. Old neon signs never die, they just get reused, and neither does the old casinos; at the Neon Boneyard Museum that is. The Las Vegas, pinball is not a place you will see any neon but you will see plenty of ringing bells and flashing lights, which is right across the street from the Liberace Museum, which houses an arcade full of row after row of pinball machines just begging for your quarters. 

Check out this LINK from TripAdviosr to find out more things to do in LAS If you like museums, take an hours drive just northwest of the city to the Nevada Test Site and tour the Atomic Testing Museum. From there you should not miss the Valley of Fire, which is the most spectacular scenery of vivid red rock formations, made from sandstone millions of years ago. Back in Las Vegas make sure to go to the Luxor Hotel where it is much more than a hotel. You can see exhibitions of the Titanic pieces, which were recovered from the seabed, the Gunther von Hagens exhibition of Bodies. Follow that by a trip to Mandalay Bay hotel for a nautical trip to Shark Reef Aquarium and from there, go to the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art to view the paintings of Renoir, Picasso and Degas. Also take in the Volcano at the Mirage and the Lion Habitat at the MGM Grand, and what would a trip to Vegas be without going to Planet Hollywood.
