Disney World ~ Orlando, FL ~ pt 4

Monday: MAGIC KINGDOM
The Happiest Place on Earth
There's Buzz Lightyear, just hanging around Space Mountain.
Lines, lines and more lines. Hurry up and wait. They would have you to believe that a 20 minutes wait in a line for a ride, with a 2 1/2 year old is not long at all.
But, ya do it anyway. Sometimes it's longer than that, like up to 70 minutes, maybe. Thank goodness for the "fast pass". It can get you through a little quicker.
Then there are lines to meet the characters.
Scroog McDuck!
Ahhhh.....

Once the sun went down and our little prince was a bit worn out, the parade starts...

...and the most spectacular fireworks display that we have ever seen begins, my sweet little boy, who started out life as a little, tiny preemie held on to me so tight...

...and suddenly I see all the Disney magic in his eyes...

...and realize that it is all worth it.

Tuesday: EPCOT CENTER

Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow
Home to the most sweet and cutest Nemo ride and most awesome aquarium, ever. It holds sharks, dolphins and manatee. Nemo is one of Lucky's favorite movies of all time. This attaction had the ablilty to send him into a tail spin.
We met Beauty and the Beast on our journey around the world...
Margaritas in Mexico...
Just a spoon full of sugar in England...
Vikings in Norway...
In Africa, we met up with Captain Jack Sparrow...
Yo Ho Ho, It's a Pirate's Life for Me...
A visit with Mushu from Mulan in China...
...and a brat and a Becks in Germany...
The characters were all there...
Saved the best for last... Goofy!!!!

Wednesday: DISNEY'S HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS
So many favorites, but the MOST current one is Little Ensteins. Can't get enough, so when we walked in and the first guy we saw was Leo.... "Wook Mama, Wook!", followed with some screaming...
Fantasia Micky...
Don't freak out, Don't freak out, it's Mike and Sulley...
It's Lucky's guys, Lightening McQueen and Mator in Radiator Springs...
Buzz Lightyear and Woody! There's a snake in my boot.
On a tour through the back lot, we saw Walt's private jet and Herby the Lovebug...
Giant Coke~a~Cola...
Aerosmith's Rockin' Rollercoaster...
And another spectacular parade. They really know how to throw a party...
But, like all good parties... at some point they must come to an end. After 3 fun filled Disney days, our braking point came in the form of a 2 1/2 year old that had been pushed to his limit...
Thanks for the memories.
See ya real soon!
