Went to the Premium Outlet mall today and wandered around. Bought new thongs as my old ones broke yesterday. Joyce lost her sunnies so we bought her a pair of Dockers. Had lunch at the mall and back to the hotel. Took a larger group of 15 to Amici restaurant tonight. Everyone enjoyed their meal, and were happy with our recommendation. We went to Downtown Disney after dinner and wandered around for a while. Very commercial area.... read more

I so look forward to the end of weekends at Disney World. No more crowds. No more walking. No more stupid cartoon characters. No more stupid long lines. No more overpriced everythings. We checked out of the hotel Sunday around 10am and headed straight for the Magic Kingdom. Took the ferry across the lake since the line for the monorail was stupidly long. Got thru the entrance pretty quickly though. Stopped at a bakery along Main st USA for breakfast. I had the nastiest ham, egg, & cheese croissant I have ever tasted. From there we went straight to Splash Mountain where we got fast passes for about 12:40. Then we back tracked to Jungle Cruise and Pirates of the Caribbean. By the time we finished with Pirates, it was time for Splash Mountain. The wife ... read more

When I travel around the world, I try to do things the local way. It's a shame everyone doesnt. I would appreciate it if the rest of the world would figure out the concept of personal space. Hispanics crowding up on one side. Asians on the other. Sorry old Japanese man. You would not have gotten hit if you were not standing in my butthole. Is 6 inches of space really too much to ask for? Its bad enough I gave up my fast passes to ride soarin and decided to go on and stand in the 80 minute long wait, just so I could go on and get it over with. We all have to stand here. I may appear to be a wall because you are a tiny little asian and I am a ... read more

T and I are seasoned pros at navigating Walt Disney World and have been able to see tons of stuff with an almost mathematical precision. Unlike our other travel destinations which lend themselves well to natural impulsiveness; we have found that the key to a blister-free and joyful visit to Disney is to approach it with the same planning and forethought otherwise reserved for invading another country. (Stop it – it is sojust as much fun as winging it). The theory is a simple one: avoiding long lines = more fun. Think about it…long lines mean more waiting. More waiting means time lost, fewer rides, sorer feeties and general crankiness not at all in the spirit that Walt intended. We gotta keep the magic flowing, baby, and the only way to do that is to not ... read more

Oceanna 2/7/2011 40 years after the initial opening of Walt Disney Worlds’ Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney’s dream is still going strong. Magic Kingdom is held by many to be the best experience they have ever had, but why? What makes Magic Kingdom so different from other theme parks or other family experiences? The Disney experience is truly in a class all its own. From the moment you enter the park you feel as if you have entered into another reality. Surrounded by beautiful things and people you care about, it really makes you appreciate life. The park is divided into seven different areas: Fantasyland, Adventureland, Frontierland, Tomorrowland, Mickey’s Toontown Fair, Liberty Square, and Main Street USA. Each area has their own attractions that make them all popular destinations. The hottest attractions for thrill seekers at Magic ... read more
