No! It's "Wonderworks". Loved the design your own roller coaster ride.



From New Orleans, we drove to Florida.

We'd been to Florida many times before, but this time we were meeting up with relatives - Now themselves fellow bloggers.
(http://www.travelblog.org/Bloggers/Pensioners-on-Tour/)
And as they'd never been there before, it was up to us to show them the sights.....

Our first week

Disneys "Magic Kingdom" was our first stop.
"It's not just for kids you know"!!!

We were pleased that Marg and Pete enjoyed the park with it's parades and fireworks as much as we did.
Must admit though after our many months of travelling, we found it hard to keep up with them.
We didn't realise that travelling had worn us out so much and it was now begining to take it's toll.

Both of us came down with nasty colds, but we blame Marg.
(She arrived with a cold and passed it on to us.)

We soldiered on with a visit to Cypress Lakes for a spot of alligator spotting.
Had a wicked time and even spotted a few alligators........

This was followed up by a visit to Old Town Kissimee.
Pete was in his element, checking out all the Harley Davidsons
The Disney sign...The Disney sign...The Disney sign...

Everyone wants to see...
on show.

(Must admit I was almost tempted to buy one,
especially when I found out they were half the price here.)


Then it was back for another dose of disney, this time to do the "Epcot" park.

Further adventures in our next blog..............
