We spent four days in Disney World, one day for each park. Though we didn't go to any of the water parks or pleasure island at night, we had a blast. It was Paul's first time, so while it wasn't as "magical" as if he had been a little kid, he was pretty happy about the whole experience. And Danielle...well...she loves Disney 😊. The first day we went to the Magic Kingdom, where we rode almost all of the rides and Danielle got to meet her favorite character, Stitch. When Paul told him that Danielle loved him more that she loved Paul, stitch gave her two kisses on the cheek. That was pretty much the highlight of the trip for her. Later, on the last day, Paul got to meet Mater from Cars, and that pretty much made it so that we both met out favorite characters 😊. Also, we tried to avoid buying the photos from all of the adventure rides by taking pictures of the pictures themselves, and some of them actually came out. So you can see us on some of the rides in some of the pictures!
The next day was Animal Kingdom, which had
ones ride that we absolutely loved: the African Safari. The park itself is like a zoo, with some adventure rides as well. The safari was set up like a real safari though, where they put you in a big truck and drove you through seemingly open areas where the animals were just hanging out. Some of the animals, like the baby giraffes, were right by the trail. Other rides, like the high speed roller coaster Kilamanjaro, were awesome as well. The only bad thing that day was the heat! Our truck registered 112 degrees, not even taking the high humidity into account!
Next day was Epcot Center, where we had chinese for lunch IN CHINA! and did a lot of learning. Paul got to ride a Segway, and Danielle played an online game of tag with a bunch of little kids...who beat her terribly. Two of our favorite attractions were "interactive shows", one at Magic Kingdom called "The Laugh Floor" and one at Epcot called "Crush's Turtle Talk". Both were animated, the first being a Monsters Inc comedy show and the second being a Q&A with Crush the Turtle from Finding Nemo. But the animated characters answered questions, picked
on people in teh audience, and reacted to everything we said and did. It was a really fun seamless combination of animation and live entertainment that made you almost believe that the characters were real.
Lastly we went to MGM Studios, where we saw an awesome high speed car stunt show, rode the Aerosmith rockin' roller coaster and the tower of terror a couple of times, and only missed the chance to do a couple of things because a storm rolled in while we were right in the middle of Danielle's favorite stunt show Indiana Jones. Oh well, I guess Paul will just have to take Danielle's word for it when she says that it's an awesome show. We even went to see the Fantasmic night show at MGM, which was a favorite of Paul's.
Overall, Disney was an awesome adventure that we both loved!!!
