Jon and I were able to go to Disney World for a week! We had such a great time. The weather was perfect (even a little hot), and the crowds were minimal. We basically walked on to every ride we wanted to go on, and sometimes we rode them multiple times. Here are some pictures from our vacation. Enjoy!
Gotta love the 3-D! Toy Story Midway Mania was the best ride! You ride in this cars and are moved around to what looks like old fashioned arcade shooting games. Everyone has a gun that they use to shoot the targets - you can actually see 3 dimensional objects coming out of your gun and hitting the targets in front of you. It's AMAZING! Jon and I were pretty competitive... since the lines were minimal, we rode it 3 times :)
Mr. Potato Head - he was the best ride line entertainment. He told jokes, sang songs and joked with the crowd as everyone waited in line.
Jon & Mickey
The Norway Pavilion - I'm a viking
Now Jon's a handsome looking Viking, isn't he?
When we were at the France Pavilion, we ate at a really nice restaurant called Les Chefs de France. As we were eating our appetizers, a cart was brought around to the tables with a covered platter on top. When the cover was lifted - there was Ratatouille! It was a little rat that actually could answer questions and talk with his little squeaks. As cheesy as it sounds, it was one of the highlights of the trip (no pun intended).
In Italy, eating gelato... yummy.....
In Epcot at the France Pavilion
This is a picture of our hotel. We stayed at Walt Disney World's All Star Sports Resort. Behind Jon you can see two giant football helmet. Those are the two football-themed buildings. There were also baseball, surfing, basketball, and tennis themed buildings. This place was huge!
I highly recommend staying on Disney property if you ever go. We didn't rent a car and didn't need one. We had complimentary shuttle service to and from the airport, buses that went to every park and Downtown Disney every 20 minutes, and airline baggage and flight check in at the hotel. It was great!
CARS Mickey Ears - you don't get much cuter than this :)
Epcot was one of our favorite places - this is that giant size golf ball, also known as Spaceship Earth. A little trivia for you all: when Walt Disney envisioned the parks of Walt Disney World, he wanted to create an Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow (EPCOT). Walt did not live to see the park opened, but the core of his ideas can still be seen throughout the park.
It was really hot some days, and to cool off we ate a lot of Mickey shaped ice-cream... Yummy...
This was our first day! When we walked into the park, there was a huge group of people from Brazil. We could not turn around without seeing someone in a yellow and greet shirt.
