Florida Part 1 - Orlando Disney World 2D2N

Hi All,

this blog entry would cover half of the trip that I've just done in Florida. Its about the disney world trip that i went i can assure you that the place is great!

Day 1

The trip started right after my friday econs class (again). Right after class, i ran to the SEPTA regional rail (university City Station) to catch the train to the airport. I met kieren there and we waited just a little less than 10 mins when the train arrived. Cutting the rest of the story short, what happened for the next 3 hrs is purely check in and check out of the respective airports. The fun is when we finally arrived at our hotel.

Thanks to Kieren, we got ourselves a Villa at sheraton. Yes Sheraton Hotel Resort. Its actually not very expensive. Each of us paid US$80 for 2 nights in this resort and another night in a resort in Miami. I'll tell you more abt the hotel in Miami later. Well, the hotel in Orlando is actually quite nice. I really liked it. Its a comfortable villa that fits a family. It has 2 rooms, 2 toilets (1 with Jacuzzi), a kitchen and a living room.

We spent our first day night at what they would call Downtown Disney. This is like an area of shopping and restaurants for people to visit in the evening. Its quite a nice place. We had our dinner at planet hollywood before we made our way around the place. There are many Disney shops but I'm particularly attracted to 2. The first is the lego shop (well, its not exactly a disney shop). It really got me thinking about the time when i was young and i loved lego. I played lego day and night everyday. It was my favorite activity. The lego structures there were just outstanding! Take a look!

The 2nd shop that I liked is the Disney Shop that sells disney products. Its really kinda cool with all the Disney characters and apparels. The shop is nicely decorated and I really liked the place! Take a look!

Day 2

Day 2 is like the best part of my Orlando Trip! We spent the whole day at Disney World and every moment of it is great. We started our Disney World visit at around 9am and we lasted till around 12am. This is just great! Well, Disney World has a total of 4 theme parks, 2 water parks and some other stuff... At the same time, it would be good to note that Orlando Disney World is the biggest Disney World theme park among all its peers in the world!

During our day, we visited 2.5 theme parks. We spent ard 5 hrs each at Disney World Magical Kingdom and Epcot. We then spend around 3 hours at Disney MGM studio and ended the day with fireworks at Magical Kingdom again. I won't waste my words on describing the place... its just incredible... check out the pics!
