Disney's Animal Kingdom

This is the ideal theme park to visit if you want to experience the "wild" side of Disney! Whether be it a real or fantasy adventure, you'll all experience the fun while doing it.

If you love real adventure encounters with real animals, try safari and trail rides to get to them up close. The kids will enjoy more every activities they would choose; - from musicals to thrill rides and adventures.

Downtown Disney

If you want to enjoy a little shopping, dining and a little extra entertainment, aside from the theme park, you can take a stroll at Downtown Disney.

There are at least 70 shops (or more)...restaurants, some family fun favorites, all-in-one place here.

Did you know that dining at Downtown Disney is an attraction itself? Many of the greatest dining that serve authentic, tasty cuisines, from quick bites, casual to fabulous feasts - name it, and you can find one.

You can also find here an indoor entertainment such as the Disney Quest Indoor Interactive Theme Park that has 5 floors full of fun games, and the La Nouba by Cirque du Soleil, both ideal for kids and adults.

Go to Pleasure Island if you and your friends are thinking of having some party fun, - from live entertainment to hip hop and comedy shows.

If you think of Downtown Disney, it also means F-U-N! :)

The Disney's Boardwalk

Disney's Boardwalk is just another charm where you can enjoy your walk along while at the same time enjoying the serenity of the water's edge, the unique shops and the restaurants. The boardwalk extends as far as a quarter mile, and also is a short distance away from Epcot. You can board on to a boat for a ride going to Disney's Hollywood Studios as well.

If you want a little recreation, you can enjoy a Surrey bike equipped with a fringe top or bicycles that are for rent. Surrey bikes are available in 2's, 4's or 6 persons. So, you choose!

You have various ways of doing your exploration, - the Disney way. So, enjoy! ;)

My Disney World Adventure (Part 2)

January 20, 2007 - Magic Kingdom, Orlando, FLORIDA

The park was crowded since it was week end, but didn't stop us from going. This was our last itinerary before going back home Maryland the next day, so we had to make sure we'll take it and have fun! :)

Our future home..LOL!

There are a lot to visit in this big park. We should have stayed longer to complete the visit, but we didn't have enough time. Perhaps, next time. :).

Swiss Family Tree House: A walk-through tour of the Robinson's home. This is cute, going up on a tree house.

That's me going up the tree house! :)

Jungle Cruise: They call it a silly safari boat tour. The tour lasted for 15 minutes, but our wait for the ride was at least an hour or so...silly, isn't it? lol.

The scenes on the safari boat tour:

There are many photos of elephants in this tour...no wonder because they are hubby's favorite animal...and he was holding the camera. :)

eeeewwww...snake!

Liberty Square Riverboat: A short cruise along the river.

The haunted Mansion - we actually did this journey through the dark with happy haunts. Photos are not allowed, so better behave :). It was not actually horror. Ghosts are not scary, but cute hehehe...go find it for yourselves.

"It's a Small World" - this is really ideal for your kids. I guess this is one of the most well visited spot. Loong lines during the weekend, but pretty much fast :).
Poor me...I lost my video files for this.

My Disney World Adventure (Part 1)

January 12-20, 2007 - Orlando, Florida

Yes, it's Disney's own world so to speak!...a very HUGE place for a variety of theme parks. Disney World comprises 7 theme parks; - Magic Kingdom, Epcot, MGM Studios, Animal Kingdom park, blizzard beach, typhoon lagoon and downtown disney area.

Universal Studio which has 2 main parks are not part of Disney World. However, I included it in one of our trips. If you're planning to visit the entire park, you should at least have a week's itinerary, but if you're planning to visit Universal Studios as well, it's more than a week trip!

Since weather is good, it was very ideal & perfect for us to do the long walks in the parks.

January 15 - Itineraries:

1. EPCOT- First thing we did was we went to Spaceship earth ride which glides gently through an audio-animatronics story of communication. Wasn't able to take photos there.

Perfect weather..yay!

The Seas With Nemo & Friends. This is very ideal for kids, but it's for all ages anyway, so we tried it. We boarded the "clamobile" and went through "under the sea" adventure, meeting Nemo's friends and enemies along the way. This is inspired by Disney-Pixar's "Finding Nemo". Cute sya!

Inside clamobile

One of the scenes - "under the sea" aboard clamobile

Imagination! - Our journey into imagination that engages the imagination and the senses, This is more on science stuffs, good for students...I just hated the smell that went into my nose...the skunk's smell! eeewww!!! Not much of a good photo here. It's more on educational ride for students, but it's a free ride anyway, so why not? It's our adventure trip, remember? :)).

Honey, I shrunk the Audience 3D movie adventure. This was fun!...You know...the 3D or 4D shows where you will feel water being sprinkled on your face, jolting of your seats, eerie wind that comes behind your head, lighting effects around you, etc...(I know the secret...check those openings on, infront, around and beside your chair...if you don't want to get wet, cover it! LOL!)
