Walt Disney World

Magic Kingdom

First of all, I forgot to rotate it when I uploaded the picture, so I apologize for any neck crinks you may get from looking at this picture. Sorry! Anyway, this is right inside the front gate to the Magic Kingdom. I loved how everything was all "Halloween-ed" up. It was so fun!

The first ride we we went on when we got to Magic Kingdom was Pirates of the Caribbean. Having been on the original Disneyland ride, I was somewhat disappointed when I discovered that the ride had been redone to go along with the movie. Jack Sparrow had been incorporated into the whole ride. I guess I just liked the original better. But we found this hat in the predictable gift shop at the end of the ride, and since my husband thinks he's Johnny Depp (which is perfectly find with me!) we had to take a picture of him in it. I think it's so cute! :-)

Epcot

I think my favorite of all the Disney parks was Epcot. It actually might be my favorite of all the places we went in Florida. It seemed more adult oriented (the International Food & Wine Festival was a dead giveaway) and thus there seemed to be less screaming, tired kids in strollers of all sizes. I had a really yummy Grand Marnier Orange Slushy tried escargot in a little bread bowl (tasted like garlic bread) in France. We also had a cheese platter in Italy. Mmmm! I love food!

This picture was taken in front of the Finding Nemo ride. Remember how I said Epcot was more adult oriented? All of it except the "Sea" section of the park. There were different sections of the park besides the countries like "Land", "Sea", "Space", "Technology" and it seemed like all the kids flocked to the "Sea" part. It was still fun though.

It's Donald! This was in Mexico. He was outside the "Three Caballeros" ride. This is the second picture of us with Donald that we got while at the Magic Kingdom.


This yummy hunk of meat is my husband! Oh, the chunk in his hand. Sorry! It's a smoked turkey leg that he enjoyed (in the rain/sprinkles). So good! While we sat on the edge of this fountain, munching away, it started to sprinkle and rain a little bit. Everyone rushed under cover like they were going to melt if they got a raindrop or two on them. We just sat there and looked around like we were trying to figure out what happened.

The Pear Fair in the United States had the best pears I've had in a loooong time. They were cold and yummy and juicy. Thinking about them now makes my mouth water!

Who knew Aladdin was Mexican? Not me! This is where Aladdin would have been if he'd shown up for his model debut.

Animal Kingdom

The cool looking mountain that you see behind you is the Disney version of Mt. Everest. There's a really fun rollercoaster inside the mountain.

The rafts that you see behind us is the source of the wet clothes and soggy hair. It was a river raft ride that took you through rapids and over small waterfalls. Two girls in our raft got the most of the water. Every bump we went over, water poured over the side of the raft on top of them. At least it was fairly warm that day!

Jesus was so excited to get his picture with Pocahontas. I didnt get to be in this picture.

We also went to Hollywood Studios, but we were so tired by the time we made it there that we didnt take many pictures. None that were noteworthy at least.
