      Park hopper plus PLUS

      14 Januari 2023, Amerika Serikat ⋅ 🌧 15 °C

      We had in our minds a leisurely few days of strolling around the parks, but a few things happened:
      1. FOMO: that ugly beast again
      2. Genie plus: another ugly beast. We don't like the concept of paying for fast passes beforehand, but also didn't want to spend all our time in lines. The problem is that it works and once you pay for it you don't want to waste it
      3. No dining plan available at the moment and "bots" taking over the dining bookings: we had less TS meals
      4. Less available time because we were booked into the Halcyon
      End result: 3 very, very busy days (hence no penguin for a bit) that were a complete whirlwind. They were, however, lots of fun and made even more fun because we got to share all the new rides, snacks, shows etc with the Berlee clan. Thanks Berlees!
      This is our first full day: Hollywood Studios

      Disney Day 3 - Hollywood Studios

      23 Juni 2023, Amerika Serikat ⋅ ☁️ 32 °C

      Today I woke up and packed up my stuff as I was moving hotels to meet my two friends Jamie and Jensen! I grabbed an uber and he wasn't the best as he told me he was from the Tampa area. I ended up guiding him based on the map from my phone... I finally arrived and Jamie was waiting for me in the lobby. It was so so good to see her again! We went up to the room dropped my stuff off and headed to Hollywood Studios on the ferry.
      It was a quick 10 minute ride and we were there.
      First ride we headed to was tower of terror, which is a drop ride. It was very fun. Next we headed to the rock n rollercoaster which is a quick, thrilling rollercoaster with music from Aerosmith? Very random band but a very fun ride. We then went to Mickey and Minnies Runaway Train ride which was a fun story ride with some really fun animatronics.
      We headed to grab Jamie coffee and went to a frozen sing-along. This was literally just watching the movie with some cast members around in the background, I had expected singing and dancing...

      We then walked through star wars world, luckily Jamie nor I had any interest in stopping and doing the big rides, one of which had a wait time of 4 hours at one point. We ended up at Toy Story mania which was a really fun ride where you play arcade shooting games from your cart. We decided to get lunch and I told Jamie to find me the most ridiculous thing in the park. She picked out a hot dog with Mac and Cheese in it... We are quickly and headed to a beauty and the beast short play which actually had singing and dancing. It was very good! Then we headed to the slinky dog coaster which we knew would be a 90 minute wait. Unfortunately that turned into a 2 hour wait, buut it was nice to have a friend to wait with for once! The ride was fine, not worth the long wait.
      We were wrecked and it was so hot by this point, we headed to the Muppets 3D movie to sit and cold off. It was a bit of fun. Then we got drinks and sat and people watched for a bit. So interesting to see wild children and exhausted parents. Next we went on Star Tours, the only star wars ride of the day which was good.
      We went on the tower and rock n rollercoaster again, then decided on having brownies for dinner followed by watching fantasmic, a nighttime show with water, fire, acrobatics and heaps of the characters. We then headed back to the hotel to find Jensen, as she had arrived! It was so so nice catching up and chatting, it's just like old times.
      We have a big day tomorrow, I'm so excited!

      Orlando

      20 Desember 2022, Amerika Serikat ⋅ 🌧 20 °C

      Life 2.0 : "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...."

      It is day 67 of the US Traverse. We have made our way to the most southern point of our trip – Orlando. San Francisco is now more than 5 000 km in the past, and Montreal, our final destination 2 300 km into the future. Major distances by car but minor if you travel with an X Wing Starfighter.

      Today will be spent at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and more importantly the Star Wars Galaxy Edge theme park.

      The Galaxy Edge Park and rides are truly magnificent, both in scale and detail. Old and young can lose themselves in the fantasy world created by George Lucas and the Disney team.

      The little boy in the photo captured my interest. He impatiently waited in his Republic Trooper uniform for his turn with Darth Vader’s Tie Fighter. All dressed up - a true believer.  

      One day when he’s older he might reflect on the stories behind the story and appreciate how George Lucas masterfully orchestrated the age-old tale of democracies being turned into dictatorships and a need from people, under certain conditions, to be freed from freedom.

      Most of us would say more freedom is good. Freedom of expression, freedom from those in power and freedom to do what we want. But history has shown that when people feel powerless and frustrated, the freedom they deeply ache for is a freedom FROM individual responsibility.

      Make it someone else’s problem - Lose awareness of your individual self and become an anonymous member of a unified group. Be relieved from the burdens of will, decisions and being responsible.

      But as Jyn Erso said in Rogue One: “We have hope. Rebellions are built on hope.”

      “You feel empty. You feel alone. Lonely. Almost frightened, but also strong, yes? The name for what you are feeling is freedom. How did you expect it to feel? You are free, and that can be lonely, and empty, and frightening. But it is also powerful.”

      But that is all in the future for our little trooper.

      As for today...

      He can just enjoy the magic that I experienced in 1978 in a cinema when the words scrolled over the screen:

      “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....”

      Disney Day 1 - Animal Kingdom

      20 Juni 2023, Amerika Serikat ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

      Today I woke up and it was my first day of Disneyworld! I had a yoghurt for brekky with a spoon made of the yoghurt lid and I literally had to scoop peanut butter from the jar with a sandwich bag to make a sandwich as I had no knives 🤦‍♀️ I decided to uber to the park as it was quite a way. I arrived and it was very streamlined to get in. I of course chose the wrong line though and it was hilarious how impatient people already were at 8:30am of a Disney day. People, especially children already looked like they were done for the day which was hilarious. I headed to the safari tour attraction first, which was a car going through a safari park essentially. It was awesome to see so many African animals up close, they are doing a good job at promoting conversation. I even learnt that in some parts of Africa they are using bee fences to prevent elephants from destroying farmers crops. Next I walked around the African jungle trail which is just other animal exhibits. After that I went to the bird show and saw some gorgeous birds including a bald eagle #murica
      Next I lined up in the rapids river ride which was standard but nice way to cool down in the 30+ degree heat, then walked through the Asian animal section. Then I headed to the Avatar flight of passage ride, as promised the line did in fact take 100 minutes to get through. During this time I:
      1. Discovered TSwift is coming to Australia and freaked out.
      2. Read a book.
      3. Watched a small child vomit into a bag his mum was holding and continue to stand in line (yes you read that correctly).
      Honestly it went quickly and the ride was so worth it, no spoilers but you were strapped in to almost like a motorbike and taken around Pandora.
      Next I wandered around and saw Kangaroos and Lemurs, then headed to a 4D bugs life movie. Got to witness and hear a lot of scared kiddos, the movie was quite aggressive and scary unsure why that's a kid marketed movie.
      I then hit dinosaur world and rode on the dinosaur ride, which was really fun but a bit jarring. This was the moment I realised I'm infact old and can't bounce back as quickly from rides. Next was the Everest rollercoaster which was one of my favourites, it was super thrilling and unexpected. It was also awesome because it has a single rider line, so I got straight on without waiting.
      I then got a frozen banana and waited for the Lion King show. The show was incredible, it was acrobatics, singing, dancing. Think a less extravagant, shorter, more lively lion king musical. Finally, I went to the other Avatar ride which was a gentle trip around Pandora, a nice way to finish the day.
      I caught one of the buses back as close as I could to my hotel and walked to the IHOP just down the road from my hotel. It was a BIG day and I go again tomorrow!

      Unsere Anreise nach Miami lief leider anders als geplant. Eigentlich wollten wir gegen Mittag mit dem Auto in Miami ankommen und noch ein bisschen durch die Stadt fahren.

      Disney Land/ Orlando

      13 Desember 2023, Amerika Serikat ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

      We woke up super early on Tuesday morning to catch a Uber to New York airport. New York airport was very intense, A lot of shouting about and a lot of people, I would hate to to see what it’s like around Christmas. We got to Orlando and rented a car to drive to a resort that we were staying in. It was very large ( at least larger than our apartment in New York ) and it had a public pool and spa that we could visit which me and Dad did that night.

      On our first day in Orlando we went to Disney land Hollywood studios. There were a bunch of rides and games and characters to meet. Jemilla and I went on a roller coaster three times before we left. There was even a whole Star Wars section where you could go and drive a spaceship and so many more that are to hard to explain. There was also a whole Toy Story section that we went on two rides in, one where you competed with each other in like a digital 3D hit the target game while your cart moved. We won’t be returning to Hollywood studios but we will go to one of the other parks within Disney land tomorrow.

      We woke up around the same time as we did the day before to go to Disney World, Animal kingdom which was basically a Zoo cross theme park. Around the place there were a bunch of trees and animals and had jungle Christmas music playing over the speakers. We went on this Safari thing where we saw Lions, Elephants, Zebras, Hippos, Cheaters, Crocodiles and a Giraffe came up right next to our car and nearly popped its head in, and there was no barrier to keep it out. There was also this really fun mountain roller coaster that Jemilla and I rode a couple of times. On our last ride of it, in the line the ride was shut down because the roller coaster stopped half way through so we went on another one instead. One of my favourite rides was this virtual reality set in the Avatar section of the Park where it felt like you were riding this space bird thing and water sprayed all over your face and it was awesome.

      On our last day in Disney land we couldn’t get into the park untill 4:00 pm because we were going to Mickey very merry Christmas party, where basically you got to do all the rides like a usual day except there was Parade shows and free cookies and hot chocolate to eat. We got to the park by ferry ( because it was one of the biggest Disney land parks yet) and lined up. There were a lot of people there to start with because the people from the start of the day were still hanging about. We went on 4 roller coasters at the start of the day and then we got some Christmas cookies as well as a hot chocolate. The funny thing was that we kept going back for cookies to put in our bag for the next few days ( we weren’t being greedy, sometimes they gave us 3 cookies at a time they made thousands.) and because one of the rides Jemilla and I lined up for got cancelled yesterday we both got fast passes to skip the line on one ride so we used that on space mountain. We also got to go on this fast and scary roller coaster called Tron, which was a new one so there were a lot of people. At the end of the night there was a massive firework show that we got to watch and then we got home at 1:00am in the morning ready for our Flight to L.A at 7:30am! A little sleepy now!

      Durch Downtown Kissimme sind wir im letzten Jahr durchgefahren und haben beschlossen, hier noch mal her zu kommen. Es ist ein ganz kleiner, ruhiger Stadteil. Das Parkhaus ist kostenlos. Im Lakefront Park kann man sehr schön spazieren und mit etwas Glück auch Aligatoren sehen.Baca selengkapnya
