Adventures at Disney World

After a 5 year absence, we have finally returned to Walt Disney World in Florida with its 4 main theme parks, 2 water parks and numerous shops, resorts and hotels.

Most of our time at Walt Disney World will be spent at the 4 main theme parks so we started with the Magic Kingdom on Wednesday.

Got to love the classic ‘Tea Cups’

As soon as the front gates opened we rushed to the newest ride in the Magic Kingdom, the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, which was good.  We then headed off to Lindy’s all time favourite ride, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

After several hours at the Magic Kingdom, we headed off to Disney’s Blizzard Beach where we spent several hours cooling off on waterslides a plenty.

Mr Competitive – The family champion of Midway Mania!

On Thursday we headed to Hollywood Studios where we rode Aerosmith’s Rollercoaster (one of our favourites), Toy Story’s Midway Mania and the highlight was the evening ‘Fantasmic’ show which was spectacular.  It concludes with Mickey controlling all the fireworks and lightshow.

Before the evening show, we headed off to Disney’s other water park, Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon, which was equally good as Blizzard Beach.

We Conquered Everest!!

On Friday we headed off to the Animal Kingdom.  We went straight to the Everest Expedition ride and rode it twice within the first 30 minutes – it is a very clever rollercoaster style ride and also one of our favourites.

We watched a very entertaining Lion King musical and rode a few other rides.

The only remaining park left is Epcot with repeated visits to the other parks scheduled for next week.
