Having gone to Disneyland several times, and being Disneyland experts, we decided to try something new and go to Florida and Disneyworld. We stupidly planned our trip over the 4th of July, so not only will it be hot as Hades, but it will be crowded at the theme parks as well. We thought about changing the trip to Hawaii, and had a family vote. Zachy asked, how many rides are there in Hawaii? We said none. He said, then i choose Florida. This was Zachys first plane ride (that he remembers) & he was so excited. Parker was less than thrilled with the pics I was taking.
Day 1 we went to the Magic Kingdom.
It was so humid it kept fogging my camera. The Magic Kingdom at Disneyworld is almost the same as Disneyland...almost. There was no Indiana Jones ride, which disappointed a few of us. Splash Mountain is always a favorite, & my favorite is Big Thunder Mountain, but you have to ask to be in the back of the train, or else it's lame. Suprisingly the rides themselves were different. Pirates, for example,wasn't nearly as cool here as it is in Cali. Space Mountain was more cool here though. And the Jungle Cruise is the same wherever you are. So are the characters.
Next was Disneys MGM Studios. This park had lots of "shows" which were cool, but not as many rides. Of course it has the Tower of Terror which is an amazing ride.
We went to Epcot for one reason...Soarin Over California, the best ride anywhere. Im sure its a cool place to walk around, but very boring for kids, so we didnt spend much time there.
Then we went to the 4th park, Animal Kingdom. This was probably our favorite (not counting all our usual favorites at Magic Kingdom) We loved the safari ride with all the animals. The boys and I loved the Expedition Everest which was a fast moving roller coaster with the Yeti that Zach was scared of. The Dinosaur ride was just exactly like Indiana Jones (the track is exactly the same) but of course a different theme. A few water rides that got us soaked...literally soaked. They had some of the best shows and 4D movies. I'll never forget Its Tough to be a Bug when the audience got "stung" on our butts on our seats.
