June 2nd 2013
As with any vacation PLANNING is so very important. Going to Disneyworld was a dream come true to me, my wife and our 2 youngest daughters but the months before we went was the most important part to this trip. We had to decide first off how long we are going to be there, where we were going to stay, will we need a rental car. Some givens are plane tickets since we don't live in Florida, and park tickets......uh we are going here for the theme parks and the Magic Kingdom. So here are some things we choose: Length of stay: 2 weeks - turned out to be the perfect amount of time, we were able to spread out our park time so we did not get burned out and had the all-important relax time. ... read more

January 16th 2013
Dear Followers, Wow. I fail. It's been over six months since I last blogged and we are even in a new year now! Happy 2013 by the way! Obviously I am not meant to be a blogger forever. However, I do owe you all a little update on my latest adventures! In August 2012, I was blessed to go to Lincoln, NE to witness one of my good friends from college take her first vows within the Christ the King Sisters. Sister Teresa Marie, Abbey and I were reunited! In October 2012, my parents visited for a few days and we went ziplining in the Rocky Mountains (www.denveradventures.com)! Later that month, I went to Salt Lake City and completed a Tough Mudder (www.toughmudder.com) with a few friends/co-workers. This was the hardest thing I have ever done, ... read more

April 17th 2012
Last couple of days have flow past we spent yesterday at Magif Kingdom and I mean all day yesterday. We started early arriving at 10am and then got in line for Daisy, and then wandered around until lunch. Most of the rides are a little more tame then other parks as we are in the kids section but we all had a great day getting to all the high spot in frontier land and tomorrow land and other cool rides, Buzz lighyear spinner ride awesome you get to ride and shot great combo. The 3d was great again in some of the other rides but not as good as Bugs life. We have start to relax and today our last at Disney was great, the girls spent the day in the pool while we washed clothes ... read more

So last night was goodand bad, Bad because Olando lost, good because we went to the basketball and it was fun really fun. We left the hotel at about 5pm got a taxi out the front and after a 45min taxi ride we arrived at the Amway Centre and sat down to watch the game which starts at 7pm. We got all the pre game stuff and games and all the other stuff like the $50,000 half court shot and the tv give away and other stuff like the obvious cam where they shoot your picture on the big screen for everyone to see and wait until you notice. 2min was the record and he got a round of applause from the crowd. Note. Orlando lost 109-81 to Atlanta This morning we got ready for Universal ... read more
DAY-2 EPCOT
Published: April 12th 2012North America » United States » Florida » Orlando » Disney WorldApril 12th 2012
Missed yesterday got home passed out slept until 2am then awake until 6 am so late start. WOW EPCOT- it is not as intense as Animal Kingdom as the major rides are spaced further apart but there are minor rides and lots to see in between. Spring festival of flowers is running at the moment so plenty massive floral displays. Lost of people so FastPass is a must do. We start at the Sea (area1) we went tothee the nemo ride and have a look at the aquarium. We moved to the Land (area 2) we got our FastPass to Soarin (major ride) back at 5 pm . Off to the character spot where after a 45 min queue you get photos with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Pluto and of course Goofy ( 2days 2goofy photos). http://db.tt/2TJE0NUR ... read more

Very tired slept until housekeeping woke usup at 9am got dressed, had breakfast BUFFET man all you can eat oh dear. Then our quiet day started at Animal Kingdom.

Last Road Game – Day 19

Atlanta Braves Road Game - Monday – March 19th Hello for Palm Beach Garden (at the hotel). This is the last day that we go to a baseball game, so it means our vacation is rapidly winding down. There are still another couple of days, but the reality of the situation is beginning to hit us. Of course, the up side is that we are anxious to get home and see the family back there. We had a relatively early departure this morning, so once again we could not sleep very late. We got up and had another full breakfast. However today, Janet got the cook to prepare French Toast. She ordered one slice of French Toast and one egg-over-medium, and she got two of each. David had his pancakes and omelet. With juice, ... read more
It’s a semi-true story

March 1st 2012
Disney at last. Right now (as I write) I am poolside at Disney All-Star Sports Resort. The one vacation destination I said I never wanted to go to again yet I am very excited to be here. Four more hours of drving this AM. We said goodbye to Tallahassee and a flock of new friends with the Tallahassee Parrothead Club. Jimmy did a good show last night. The Leon Center at FSU is a pretty intimate indoor venue, clearly built for basketball and noticeably smaller than the Centrum or the Garden. It was a pretty safe set-list and he didn’t seem to put the energy into it that he gives at a Great Woods show. Linda got all the way down to the floor, sixth row!! Not a lot happened yesterday outside of the JB ... read more
Last day of vacation - Magic Kingdom Day 2

February 3rd 2012
Beautiful, early start this morning. We took advantage of the extra magic morning hours this morning, and enjoyed a hour before opening to the general public. Juan and Luke got their fastpasses for Space Mountain, while Ben and I took a ride on the people mover. Buzz Lightyear ride and the Tomorrowland Speedway. Once the park opened, Luke and Juan headed to Space Mountain on their fastpasses so Ben and I went to Mickey's Philharmagic (we missed this the first day because little dude needed to go to the potty). We then headed to find Woody and Jessie, from Toy Story. The line was much shorter than before, plus we got to see Jessie too! Luke had a special day! He joined the Pirate League. He became a pirate today! :) You'll have to ask him ... read more

Headed to Epcot. We went in the globe, talk time with Crush, which turned out to be not good for Luke. He got sick, twice on the way out. We decided to head back to the resort. But on the way out we ran into Stitch. Ben couldn't have been more excited! It is apparently one of his favorites. Not sure where that came from, but he is in heaven. We came back to the resort for some R&R. After a shower, nap and resting we headed back for our dinner reservations. We ate at the Garden Grill. It was a character dinner with farmer Mickey, Pluto, Chip and Dale. This wasn't my favorite dinner. It was served family style, the boys had mac 'n cheese and chicken legs and we had a fish, turkey and ... read more
