Florida recap (Disney World edition)

July 7th, 2008 at 9:16 am . Posted in Florida .

I’ve finally got the time to get the second part of my vacation recap together! Don’t forget to check out the etsy giveaway below this.

Disney World is my favorite place ever. I’ve said many times how much I love it. I went for the first time 3 years ago and this year will be my 3rd time there with boyfriend and his family. It’s so much fun and there really is no place in the world like it. If you haven’t ever been there, I really suggest going because you are never too old for Disney World.

When you first get to Disney World you hop on a tram that takes to from the parking lot to the monorail. After you take the monorail you get dropped off at ticketing, then you have to put your finger in this thing and they scan your fingerprint. They mean business in the Magic Kingdom, Mickey doesn’t fuck around.

as soon as walked through the train station, we are welcomed with a mini parade

It’s a Small World. Doesn’t the dog look like Edie?

There is a few more pictures over on my flickr.

I’m ready to go back now. I’m sick of reality.

    I’ve never been there, but something tells me it wouldn’t be my kind of place.

    I’m so jealous!!! I’ve only been once, (and once to Disney land in France) six years ago! I have to admit that the scary rides are my favourite part though :-)

    It’s so wonderful there – my fiance’s sister works there, it’s the most wonderful place. Is that picture of the castle taken during Wishes? Best. Fireworks. Ever. Glad you had so much fun!

    Jealous! So jealous!

    Dad took me to Orlando for spring break my senior year (I guess to keep me from going elsewhere with friends? don’t remember), and would not take me to the Magic Kingdom because he said I was too old! Too old! Universal Studios was pretty cool, though. :)

    My dad gets free tickets every year from his company, so last year I went with him, my mom, and a friend of mine. My parents found it hilarious that my friend and I, both in our mid-twenties, were INSANELY excited about Tom Sawyer’s Island (my favorite attraction).

    I don’t go to the park very often, but even when I do..it’s STILL EXCITING.

    Glad you had a good time!

    I went to Disney World once, many moons ago (a decade! HOLY COW!!), but I go to Disney Land several times a year…one of the perks of living in SoCal, and buying yourself a ridiculous birthday present each year. And you’re right. You’re NEVER too old to go to Disney. It’s the best place EVER.

    It’s A Small World was my son’s favorite ride. Magic Kingdom is my favorite park, too. Is that the only one you went to?

    Wow, Disneyland looks strikingly similar. And has similar rides. I’ve been twice since moving to this end of the coast, and while I like it lots, it’s an awful lot of forced smileys and shit. But I love it anyway and totally want to go back.

    I did not realize this was your first trip! I still love Disneyworld even though I haven’t been in years., Fun looking at the photos–some stuff exactly the same, others brand new (Toon town).

    Sometimes I wake up and just feel sad because I’m not in Disney World. There are just some days that are like that. God, I love that place!
