Walt Disney World - Part 1

Well, we have again been incredibly bad about keeping our blog up to date. In an attempt to catch up we should have a few new posts coming shortly. To start things off lets take a look at our trip to Walt Disney World (thanks Cheryl!!).

Before we leave Florida we hope to visit all of the Disney parks around the Orlando area. We took the first steps a few weekends ago by traveling that way and spending a half day at Epcot and the evening at Magic Kingdom. Epcot was great- not too crowded, very well done world areas, entertaining rides, and beer with great souvenir glasses.

We'll start off with some Epcot pictures...


Here's Dana making a quick call...


The crazy French people climbing chairs...


And the famous Epcot ball. Which, as it turns out does not hold a roller coaster inside as I had thought. It was a slow educational ride about the history of technology.


After seeing all of Epcot we made our way via ferry to the Magic Kingdom. We were able to visit the entire park before making our way back across the ferry to view the fireworks from a distance. The park was great, but Epcot was our favorite as there were a fraction of the people there.




I told Dana not to steal stuff from the gift shop...


Right after dark they had a parade...


And then the fireworks. Here is a clip of the long display that we took from across a lake.
