My 4th Disney day of the trip! During last October when I was onboard the Disney Magic I went to a talk about the different theme parks that a lady from Disney Imagineering gave. She asked everybody in the audience who had been to which parks and had anybody been to all of them (nobody put their hands up for that), she went on to say that she had a friend who for her 25th birthday had visited every park round the world. That is Disneyland, California Adventure, Disneyland Paris, Disney Studios, Disneyland Hong Kong, Disneyland Tokyo, Tokyo Disney Sea, Magic Kingdom, Epcot, MGM, and Disney Animal Kingdom.

Well complaining wasn’t going ... read more

Or something along those lines. I tell you I have stayed awake all day and been up much earlier than I care to be up - I really appreciate my sleep. So when my alarm went off at the ungodly hour of 4 am I was less than amused. Oh how I wanted to sleep in again to a decent time. Hopefully I was planning to get tomorrow off. Not that I would be able to sleep in that day either but I needed a day off, it had been 17 days ... read more
