Too much Disney is never enough

Orlando has been having hot sunny mornings and tropical storms in the afternoon. We worked out 6 hours is plenty at a Disney Park and most excitement happens in the evenings so we've been sleeping in, having late brekkies and swimming before heading off to as much Disney we can take.

Magic Kingdom is very well done. Old fashioned buildings, beautiful gardens and parades and stage shows at every turn. We had just finished a double scoop choc ice cream (Nicky) and Sundae with hot fudge, cream and a cherry on top when a huge tropical storm broke. Most people ran for cover but we ran for Space Mountain where the rain had reduced a 45 minute wait time to zero. How scary is roller coaster in the dark!

Nicky was brave but her mum almost lost the sundae... We have the photo to prove it.

Our resort is pretty and scrupulously clean - set on a man made lake complete with beaches, ducks, hammocks and even a squirrel.

Oh -forgot to mention the 'broccoli slaw' that accompanied lunch. Coleslaw made with shredded broccoli instead of cabbage! No really! Still have not found a decent coffee. Hopefully Amherst will come up with the goods.

Best theme park so far. It had great shows and good music. Especially liked Monsters Inc and my cheeseburger. Space mountain really fun. I was screaming this is awesome. Mum was just screaming her head off!

  1. The problem of the photos is that safari cant upload photos according to IT.

    Doenload an app called icabmobile for $1.99. It is a third party browser that should work. Use it for you blogging.

  2. Clever John asking IT!

    Glad you are loving Disney.
    Nicky screamimg "awesome" and "mum just screaming her head off" made me laugh out loud.

    Desley - know this probably interesting compared to Space Mountain and tropical storms but the General Manager said the Focus magazine was "excellent".

    In his actual words: "The draft was good but the final version is excellent."

    All the best,

    Claire
