So sit back, grab some popcorn, and get ready for some mouse-wheel action!
First off, here's an amazing shot taken by one of the Disney photographers.
(I don't know where to start!) Okay, so we ordered the complete Disney package. We stayed at Port Orleans - French Quarter.
6 days 7 nights... 6 day park hopper tickets which has access to the 4 main Disney parks: EPCOT, Animal Kingdom, Disney Hollywood Studios, and Magic Kingdom. They also had water parks, but we didn't pick that option. We got flights in the package too, so they have this thing called Disney's Magical Express.
They'll take care of our luggage so that we don't have to wait at the aiport. We just stroll on out, hop on their bus, and they take us to our resort. Our luggage will then magically show up at our room. Funny story: my gf's luggage was in our room, but mine was missing!
I called the lobby and they actually had it in their bell services... it just wasn't delivered to our room (that's right... better not lose my luggage! =P). Our main transportation was by bus. They travel from resorts to parks about every 10 minutes. Remember Disneyworld is so big that it takes maybe a 10 minute drive from resort to park. You need to take a mini freeway to get there.
Here's an overview of how our days went:
Sunday: Fly all day. Went to Downtown Disney at night.
Monday: EPCOT all day.
Tuesday: Animal Kingdom most of the day. Downtown Disney at night.
Wednesday: Disney's Hollywood Studios all day.
Thursday: Magic Kingdom all day.
Friday: Back to EPCOT for some missing items. Downtown Disney again.
Saturday: Nooooooo, we had to leave. =(
=EPCOT=
This is the Future/Tomorrowland and International park. So half of the park is all about innovation, imagination, and technology. The second half is all around the world. There are mini sections of Mexico, Japan, France, etc.
=Animal Kingdom=
This is the "all animal" park with the Tree of Life in the center. The main thing is probably the safari where you ride a jeep with a guide and he takes you around the area with live animals. Other goodies are this new Mountain/yeti roller coaster, dinosaur land, and the 3D Bug's Life show. ^^ That's a great one.
=Disney's Hollywood Studios=
This one has all the Disney movie magic and special effects. The park is loaded with shows. We caught an Indian Jones stunt show
...this car/driving stunt show (which was uber)
...and Fantasmic! show at night (which was probably my favorite out of the parks). They also had this Aerosmith roller coaster and the Tower of Terror (which wasn't as bad as I thought).
Back to Fanstasmic! =D It's amazing. It's got character actors, it's got story, it's got a dragon, it's got fancy special effects and pyrotechnics. There's this cool thing they do where they shoot up water so that it's flat. Then they project a screen on it. *thumbs up*
Oh, and I'm so proud of that shot. Probably the best photo I took during the trip. ^^
=Magic Kingdom=
Ahh, traditional Disney. Happy. Joy. Magic. Love. Inspiration. Vision. Music. Fun. Smiles. Laughs. Parents screaming at their kids. You know, all the goodies. ^^;
Here are more shots I'm proud of:
At night, there was the light parade and afterwards was Wishes, a fireworks spectacle above Cinderella's castle.
=Downtown Disney=
This is basically a string of shops, restaurants, and entertainment. We had a few dinner reservations over the week. We ate at Fulton's Crab House, Planet Hollywood, and Wolfgang Puck. We shopped around and bought some stuff.
=Random Stuff=
During the safari in Animal Kingdom, there was an ostrich crossing. XD He was all strolling in the road and forced our jeep to slow down until he passed.
Ducks! Haha, they were found wandering in the parks. These particular ones were eating dropped french fries off the ground. Mmm... human food.
EPCOT had this one store sponsored by Coca-Cola. They had free samples for "flavors around the world". Pretty interesting.
I just found this cool. It's how they make french fries in Japan! XD
It's "Pooh Corner"! I can see the slogan right now. "It's where you can buy stuff with Pooh on it!" XD
And you, too, can become a ninja!
Aaaaand at day's end... we're just poop'd!
