if you think the Astros parade through downtown was a sight on Friday, you should have seen Astros Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa and George Springer in an elaborate, but much smaller parade down Main Street USA at the Magic Kingdom on Saturday!

As if the last several weeks were not enough of a roller coaster, the players jumped on the Thunder Mountain Railroad! Correa said, "Getting to play in the playoffs with the Yankees and then the Dodgers. The seven games...it was a lot of stress and pressure. Right now we get to relax at Disney and have the best time of our lives.”
The trio stopped to sign autographs. There was no shortage of Astros fans in Florida. Springer said, “When you come to Florida, you think there’s not going to be a lot of Astros fans. There are Astros fans everywhere. It’s exciting! Great to be a part of it!” Altuve added, "This parade was awesome. A lot of fans here. They really are supporting our fans."
Lance McCullers said the view from atop the fire trucks carrying the team through downtown was unforgettable. He said, “It was probably one of the most moving things I’ve ever seen. We expected a lot of support from the city. But to see that many people there...just really excited that many people came to celebrate with us was special.”
And one Astro was missing from the parades. Justin Verlander, who married fiancée Kate Upton on Saturday, in Italy.
