4 Disney Days Done - 3 More to Go

Hello from Kissimmee, Florida!

We are theme parking like crazy with four full days under our belts and three more to go. Armed with sunscreen, lots of money and of course hand sanitizer with have explored Disney World's Animal Kingdom, Epcott and Hollywood Studios and today we checked out Universal Studio.


One of the things that we have learned is that Disney World is really huge! It's really 4 separate parks with many other extras like water parks, golf courses and lots of resorts. You have to hand it to Disney, they do think of everything!


We are really enjoying staying in the condo (thanks again to Aunt Sandra) - it's nice to have a "house" - Emma and Leah have their own room with a tv so when we get back every night the girls are quick to get to bed! Tyrone is on his own little holiday as he is spending the week at the Puppy Dreams Pet Motel.


Highlights for us have to include:

*An African animal safari - Have you seen a rhinoceros pee?
*Musicals - Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Finding Nemo - we have seen them all!

*Stunt shows - Leah's favorite
*Rides galore - Just thinking of some of the rides we have been on make Ray and I dizzy!

* Video Game Design - see Leah and Ray star in their own game - try it online here

*Jaws - Just ask Emma about that one

*Fireworks - Thanks to the Atkinson's for the Fantasmic tip.

*Animal Actor Show - Leah was pretty pumped to be callled up stage to help with the dog actors!
*And of course seeing all the characters - Emma was thrilled to see Barney, Leah loved the Princesses and Ray was excited to pose with Marilyn.

So we are mustering up our energy for 3 more action packed days - to the Magic Kingdom and SeaWorld.

Stay tuned................

We were kind of curious to see if anyone was reading our blog so Ray added the website counter (a company even contacted us to advertise on the blog!). So since we know people are reading this - we want to hear from you! What is your favorite Disney character??

I have to say that Winnie the Pooh still tugs on the heart strings...Did you see him? FYI, the ice cream carts at Sea World use to sell beer as well as ice cream...came in handy when Uncle Philip went to Florida!
