Disneyworld - three parks so far

It's been a whirlwind of four days at three different theme parks - We did Epcot first, then Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom.  The plan is to do Hollywood Studios today, but we need to make sure we are back for a Skype chat with Max's grade this evening our time.

Animal Kingdom





The Lion King Experience


 Animal Kingdom included Dinoland USA

Max and Jemima got to meet Alidar from Alidar's Advanture, a story they have at home on CD (and storybook)




Poor Mickey - apparently he was very tasty!
 Dino-rama was an arcade / ride area at Dinoland - complete with 'Going out of existence' 'mad-mouse' type ride.


At the end of the day, we went to Downtown Disney for some diner and shopping
 They had a great lego shop there, along with lego figures - Buzz and Woody for one and a lego building area like at Legoland
 This is what Sharon was expecting at Legoland... a wall of lego pieces to select from...

 They even do lego brick engraving so that you can include them in your constructions!

Safari in Disneyworld!
 Hippos submerged in their pool keeping cool
 Alligators
 Rhinos getting out of the heat in their mud bath
 Flamingos
 Everest Explorer Roller Coaster - great ride. Both the kids and I loved it.



Magic Kingdom





Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom
 The Orbiter on top of the Tomorrowland centrepiece..
 Stitch snuck up on the kids and gave Jemima a fright!
 There are a couple of steam trains that do constant circuits of the whole park.
 A classic - the Teacup ride!
 Goofey's Barnstormer rollercoaster
Dumbo's ride
 The 3pm big parade
 And the larger Electric parade in the evening








Followed by Fireworks!
