• Notre chemin nous amène à Frontierland qui semble également bien étroit mais dont une grande partie est couverte par la rivière, Tom Sawyer Island et encore deux grandes attractions : Splash Mountain et Big Thunder Mountain. Parmis les autres attractions, on trouve à Frontierland l'une des trois gares du Walt Disney World Railroad et Country Bear Jamboree.

    The way leads us to Frontierland, which also seems quite small, but the river and Tom Sawyer Island have a large footprint, as well as two other big rides : Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain. Frontierland also features one of the three Walt Disney World Railroad stations and the Country Bear Jamboree.

  • Suite de notre visite du Magic Kingdom en Floride : nous visitons chaque Land dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre en commençant par Adventureland. Ce premier Land peut sembler petit car il se résume à une seule longue allée bordée d'attractions, mais deux en occupent une large partie : Pirates of the Caribbean, et surtout la fameuse Jungle Cruise. On y trouve également The Magic Carpets of Aladdin et The Enchanted Tiki Room, ainsi que quelques restaurants et boutiques. Enfin Adventureland accueille les photolocation de Aladdin, Clochette, Ariel et nouvellement Raiponce.

    Let us continue our visit of Florida's Magic Kingdom, after part 1 we are taking a tour of each themed Land, clockwise, beginning by Adventureland. This first Land may seem tiny, consisting in a single alley surronded by rides, but two of them have a particularly large footprint : Pirates of the Caribbean, and the famous Jungle Cruise. The Magic Carpets of Aladdin and The Enchanted Tiki Room can also be enjoyed, along with some restaurants and shops. Adventureland also is home to Aladdin, Tinker Bell, Ariel, Rapunzel and friends.

  • Nous voici maintenant sur l'esplanade d'entrée du parc, dominée par l'imposante gare de Main Street USA, dernier rempart entre le Monde déjà semi-réel de Walt Disney World et l'immersion de l'endroit le plus magique sur Terre, le Magic Kingdom !

    Here we are now, on the entrance plaza where the massive Main Street USA train station is the last barrier between the already partially-real world and the most magical place of Earth, the Magic Kingdom !

    En remontant Main Street USA nous arrivons sur une immense Central Plaza, dominée par le non moins immense Château de Cendrillon. Entourée d'une rivière, c'est le coeur du parc, où ont lieu parades, spectacles et feux d'artifice et d'où l'on accède aux six Lands. C'est aussi là que Walt, donnant la main à Mickey, est immortalisé sur l'emblématique statue Partners.

    Walking through Main Street USA, we reach the huge Central Plaza, right at the foot of the huge Cinderella Castle. Circled by a river, the plaza is the heart of the park where shows, parades and fireworks can be enjoyed throughout the day, and where all six Lands can be accessed. This is also the place where Walt holds Mickey Mouse's hand, immortalized through the iconic Partners statue.

  • Inauguré en 1971, le Magic Kingdom est le tout premier parc à thème de Walt Disney World en Floride, inauguré la même année. C'est le deuxième parc de ce type puisqu'il reprend le schéma classique de Disneyland Park, en Californie, et ses  Lands organisés autour de Central Plaza. Magic Kingdom en propose six : Main Street USA, Adventureland, Frontierland, New Orlean Square, Fantasyland, Tomorrowland, ainsi que Mickey's Toon Town Fair qui n'existe plus. On y retrouve les attractions phares qui ont fait le succès de Disneyland : Jungle Cruise, Pirates of the Caribbean, Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, Haunted Mansion, It's A Small World, Space Mountain...

    Inaugurated in 1971, the Magic Kingdom is Walt Disney World Resort (Florida) very first theme park. This is the second park of its kind, as it is very similar to the original Disneyland Park in California, where the Lands are organised around Central Plaza. In the Magic Kingdom there are six : Main Street USA, Adventureland, Frontierland, New Orlean Square, Fantasyland, Tomorrowland as well as Mickey's Toon Town Fair which no longer exists. In the Magic Kingdom you can go on most of Disneyland's successful rides : Jungle Cruise, Pirates of the Caribbean, Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain, Haunted Mansion, It's A Small World, Space Mountain...

    Commençons par les trois moyens d'accès au Magic Kingdom : la voiture ou le bus pour arriver au parking ou à la gare routière, le Monorail en provenance du parking, de Epcot ou des hôtels du Magic Kingdom, ainsi que les shuttleboats qui font la navette entre le parc et le parking.

    Let's begin by accessing the Magic Kingdom through three different ways : car or bus to the parking lot or bus station, Monorail between the parking lot, Epcot, Magic Kingdom resorts and the park, and shuttleboats operating between the parking lot and the park.

  • Epcot - 3/3 After Dark

    Tout au long de l'année, Epcot reste ouvert tard pour présenter son grand spectacle de nuit : IllumiNations : Reflections of Earth. C'est aussi l'occasion de découvrir les 120 hectares d'Epcot illuminés dans la nuit Floridienne. Future World mélange les technologies (néons, lasers, LED, fibre optique) pour créer une atmosphère aussi futuriste que surprenante, tandis que World Showcase et son éclairage discret respire la quiétude et l'authenticité des différents pavillons.

    All year long, Epcot remains open until late to present the nightime spectacular IllumiNations : Reflections of Earth. That gives guests the opportunity to explorer Epcot's 300 acres illuminated through the Floridian night. Future World uses various kinds of technologies (neon lights, lasers, LED lights, optic fiber) to create a futuristic and surprising atmosphere, whereas World Showcase adopts soft illuminations that reflects the pavilions quietness and authenticity.
