    Coral Castle

    May 3, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    The last day of the week long tour of Florida before Disney.

    First stop was Coral Castle. Something about a Latvian man who had his heart broken, moved to America and secretly built a castle at night only, dedicated to her.

    He was also a really clever bloke based on how he built it (some people figure aliens helped).    Read more

    Miami Beach

    May 3, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    Next stop was Miami!

    Visited Miami Beach, so much traffic, so many people. Meant we didn't enjoy it as much as I had hoped. Despite listening to Will Smith on the drive in.

    We walked around looking at the Art-Deco buildings and strolled along the beach. Then visited one of the museums which had an exhibition on Soviet propaganda. Unfortunately it was more about the graphic design rather than the propaganda.

    Long drive north after Miami and then tomorrow to get back to Orlando to start Disney. Feeling very tired from all the driving. Be nice to relax when we get to Disney...    Read more

    Disney!

    May 4, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    We are here and everything is great!

    The room is really nice and our view is out on to the Savannah where we can sit on the balcony watching giraffes and zebras walking past.

    Visited Animal Kingdom and the rides here are very good, only did a couple of them, so many more to do over the next two weeks...Read more

    Disney - Magic Kingdom

    May 5, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    So today was our first real day in Disney and it was time to meet up with the Bowen Party. So we used some of our snack credits (there are so many of them!) and off we went to Magic kingdom. I (Alex) had the brilliant idea that we should drive - I forgot the car park isn't outside the park so we had to wait ages for a ferry - whoops, but we got there!

    We managed to do a few things before lunch : Meet Belle (where Hywel got chosen to play a knight!), meet Ariel and a few smaller rides.

    Lunch time we all met up and tried "Be our guest" which is dining in Belle's castle. It was awesome on the inside but it was actually a quick service meal which meant people were walking around a lot. Hywel also purchased a fancy cup (cause he's fancy).    Read more

    Magic Kingdom - Part 2

    May 5, 2018 in the United States ⋅ 🌧 27 °C

    After dinner we split up again and went to do the rest of our fast passes: seven dwarfs and Peter Pan.

    Unfortunately there was a fair bit of rain so we were choosing rides/shows inside and hoping it would clear up by the time we get out. We've done a lot of them now just missing the bigger rides (i.e space/thunder/splash mountain) which will be for another day.

    After mostly doing rides we went to our dessert party with Dan and Nina, there was lots of dessert although we didn't eat loads. We were then escorted to a private area to watch the fireworks which was awesome ^.^

    Then we did a few more rides and off to bed!
    It was a long day...    Read more

    Epcot

    May 6, 2018 in the United States ⋅ 🌧 22 °C

    Today our plan was to do Epcot - Unfortunately when we got there and Hywel was not feeling so well so off he went back to the hotel and I met up with Dan and Nina.

    First stop was Mission Space, I was a little nervous because they kept giving warnings that it may not be for everyone (a lot of warnings!) but in the end it was fun.

    Then we did out second fastpass of the day: Soarin and got ready for our tour "Behind the seeds".

    It was interesting, got to see all the plants and even fed some fish. Tour took over an hour to do so once we got out Dan and Nina went on their last FP and I went back to the hotel. Will just chill for today but we have another busy day tomorrow when we return to Animal Kingdom - stay tuned!    Read more

    Animal Kingdom

    May 7, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    Hywel was still feeling unwell so I went into the park on my own and met up with the Bowen party for some breakfast at Tusker house. This was a character meal so we got to see Micky, Goofy, Donald and Daisy (no Pluto...).

    We did the Safari ride and a few others, then it came to the fast pass we were all looking forward to: Flight of Passage. Hywel at this point joins us to use the fast pass as the queue has been over an hour long so he didn't want to miss out. It was sooooo good, I am not content on riding it just the once!

    Hywel was still not feeling very good (he did enjoy the ride though!) so we went back to the hotel to rest. After a few hours we went back in, did the safari and a few other rides and watched rivers or light show.

    Once that was over we had a chance to do a few more rides and then called it a night.    Read more

    Disney Springs

    May 8, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    Today was our first non-Disney park day while staying here, so we headed to Florida Mall to pick up a few things and then met up with Dan in Disney Springs.

    We went to the Edison to try the impossible burger which is a vegan burger that tastes and looks like a real burger, it was very good.

    Then we did a bit of shopping and walked over to Star Wars the void. So this is a VR experience but you actually get to walk around which is awesome. It was supposed to be 6 of us and we would get 2 goes each but we lost Nina and Danielle so me, Hywel, Dan and Sim had 3 goes at it. It was really fun and so funny, I kept shooting people which would give off a vibration, in my defence they were being mean apparently it was easy to tell which storm trooper I was due to my height ¬.¬

    Did a bit more shopping and it was time for more food at T-Rex cafe. It was very cool in there but we were still feeling full after the burger so it was a struggle... We would have cancelled but we would have been charged $20 so it was cheaper to go as we were using our dining credits.

    As we were walking in the car park we saw an opossum!    Read more

    Magic Kingdom

    May 9, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    So the plan for today was to wake up quite early to pop to Animal Kingdom but Hywel had too much food the night before and was not feeling well again :( So i left him in bed and off I went to meet Dan and Nina in Animal Kingdom.

    The reason we got up early was to get on flight of passage before the queue got too long and we were pretty successful, it took around 35 minutes to get on. Afterwards we did some more rides and then went to the Polynesian resort to get vegan Tonga toast which was yummy! Then we went over to Magic kingdom to do our fast pass and lunch.

    Hywel joined us after food to watch the parade which was really fun to watch and sing along with. The rest of the day was full of rides and Disney fun :)    Read more
