First few days in Orlando ... Florida

We have been in Orlando for two days now and been visited the Disney Animal and Magical Kingdom - "where dreams come true", will that's what they kept saying all day.  When you enter the park, you grab a map and then work out which way around you want to go and it explains what each ride envolves. 

Yesterday in Animal Kingdom, it was a tad hot and after an early flight we managed a few rides including the Everest Rollcoaster ride, OMG it was classic , Joanne screamed her lungs out, that she just about deafen me in my right ear and i was just cracking up laughing with her response to the ride.  It got the old head spinning and this did not mix well with being tired and the heat,  it affected Joanne a bit more than me, so we ended up coming back to our hotel and I went swimming and sunbathing, while Joanne slept for about 3 and half hours, but all good after that wee nana nap. 

DAY 2:  We left at 9am this morning and did not get back until about 9.30pm. These parks are very well set up, the staff are always helpful, nice and the place is spotless.  We managed to do all sorts of rides and see most of the park, though there are some rides that you might want to double check before attempting, as you are not allowed on some if you have any heart or bloody pressure problems, so that's a good warning before getting on board. Joanne cannot believe how parents con their hot, tired,  grumpy kids to do half of these rides!  We've heard all sorts of stories!

WARNING - don't tell the kids about this place, as they would love it here, but it will cost you a small fortunate - he he he.

At the end of the day we took the monorail from Magical Kingdom over to Epcot and had a brief look around and also managed to complete two rides, which were great, very interactive rides ... Joanne loves the NASA space flight asimulator ride, only because she was the Command and I was the engineer and two other young guys were the pilot and the navigator.  We ended the evening watching an amazing fireworks and laser display over the lagoon, called "illuminations", just prior to the start of the show, mother nature decided to kick it off with an electrical storm, just lightening - we could not hear any thunder! 

We then returned at our hotel called "All Stars Music Resort" there are also two other resorts that are similar, called the All Star Movies and Sport".

Tomorrow we are off to Epcot tomorrow another Disney park that is a bit different to most the other parts.

Saturday we have an all day tour at Kennedy Space centre and then on Sunday we move to the Universal Studios for 3 days and then Vegas here we come.

Have a Magical week!

Cheers The 2 Winnies
