Hello everyone! These are my highlights from Disney World 2014:
Wednesday: After a long 3 hour plane flight, we got into our wonderful hotel room at the Port Orleans Riverside Resort. Bobby had a very cool fold out bed, while Molly, Dad, Mom, and I had double beds to share. Afterwards, we went to Epcot, where we went on some awesome rides. My personal favorite was the Finding Nemo ride and Turtle Talk with Crush. The Finding Nemo ride was a slow-moving ride on a cruise through the reef. Turtle Talk with Crush is self-explanatory. We got to have a conversation with the totally awesome dude turtle Crush.
Thursday: After a tiring day at Epcot, we headed over to the Magic Kingdom. The second we entered to park we saw Pluto, Marie (from the Aristocats) and Mary Poppins. We weren't able to meet Marie and Mary Poppins, but we got an autograph, pictures, some high-fives, and for Molly, a kiss on the face from Pluto. We went on some of my favorite rides this day. Those included the Pirates of the Caribbean, Peter Pan's Flight, It's a Small World, and my first roller coaster: Big Thunder Mountain. Peter Pan's Flight made you feel as if you were actually flying above London and NeverLand. Pirates of the Caribbean was a slow-moving boat ride at first, but later became a fun-filled experience of being a true Pirate. Everybody who's been to Disney knows about It's a Small World. It is referred to as the Happiest Cruise that Ever Sailed. It is a slow boat ride through areas of children singing "It's a Small World" in dozens of different languages. And finally, Big Thunder Mountain. It was the fastest ride I have ever been on. It included sudden drops, and very sharp turns. Now we were off to a fun day at Disney's Animal Kingdom.
Friday: We had lots of fun at the Animal Kingdom, which included a spectacular view of Expedition Everest, the Kilimanjaro Safari, the asian bird sanctuary, and some one-on-one time with Mickey and Minnie Mouse! The Kilimanjaro Safari was when we rode along the trails of Africa. Seeing the lions, giraffes, monkeys, zebras, and rhinos (oh my!) was incredible! The Asian Bird Sanctuary was self-explanatory, but it was truly cool when I spotted the peacock. And the best thing we did this day was meeting Mickey and Minnie! We went into a small room where Mickey and Minnie were waiting for some one-on-one time and a picture. They were thrilled with Molly's Mickey Mouse cap. But we had a fun day ahead of us in just 12 hours more.
Saturday: We went back to the Magic Kingdom today where we went back on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, It's a Small World, and tried a new ride later. Mom and I tried the Haunted Mansion, which wasn't anywhere close to scary. But it was a humorous, cheesey ride that made you laugh. You started by going into the Haunted Room, where the walls began to stretch downward. The lights went out, and the sound effect of a large explosion was played. You later went into a ride seat where you would pass a ballroom with ghostly people dancing inside, a kitchen with disappearing and reappearing ghost-people. You ended by going into the graveyard which in my opinion was the only thing on the ride that could possibly scare someone. The scare was a skull that popped up from behind a gravestone. But it wasn't scary in the least bit to me. I look forward to an exciting day at Universal Studios on Monday, and more Disney trips later.
