Well it has been an amazing time here in
Orlando with my family visiting. I can’t believe they are going home tomorrow.
We have been up to a lot of fun things so lets get you all caught up.
Wednesday evening we went to see Cirque du
Soliel’s production called La Nouba. We had amazing seats and my dad was even
involved in the pre show. As always there was so much acrobatics and it really
amazes me how these people can be flying up in the air without any hesitation.
The show had so many clowns and even these little girls who had batons and were
throwing them around and doing some very intricate tricks. We all really
enjoyed it and I would definitely go back and see it again.
Thursday I had work during the day. My
family went to visit Disney’s Animal Kingdom. They enjoyed the park very much.
In the evening, we met up with our cousin’s who where visiting for the day
before they headed on a cruise. It was great to see them all since it has been
a whole 2 months for me. We had dinner at Boatwright’s Dining Hall. I had the
ribs. They were excellent and full of flavor. After dinner, we had a drink and
had some time to chat. It was getting late and they had to get up early so we
headed home.
Friday we had some relaxing time in the
morning, and then headed to the Magic Kingdom in the evening. We lucked out and
got fast passes to the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. This ride is a small
rollercoaster and is the newest to the park. After riding it, I wasn’t
impressed. It wasn’t as fast and didn’t have to many big drops in it. I think
Space Mountain is much better. We also went on the People Mover, Space Mountain
and Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger’s Spin. Character stops were also on the
agenda and we even had the pleasure to meet some that are not normally out.
They include Snow White, Tinkerbell, Ariel, Cinderella and Aurora. We met up
with our cousins for dinner and my little cousin wanted to go on the haunted
mansion… Again. So my mom and I took her on the ride. She loved it! After that we
headed over to right in front of Cinderella’s Castle to wait for the Main
Street Electrical Parade followed by the nighttime fireworks show… Wishes! The
parade was so nice. I have never seen it in full, so it was nice to do that
before it leaves Magic Kingdom in October. Wishes began promptly at 10pm. I
haven’t seen it since my very first day with my friends and it was so nice to
see it again. Brought back all those memories, which I feel like was so long
ago! So to sum it up, Magic Kingdom (Day 2 for the familia) was a success.
Saturday was another rest day for all and I
worked.
Yesterday, we hit up the last theme park at
Disney World… the one at which I work…. Disney’s Hollywood Studios. I planned a
great day for us. First we went to Indiana Jones’ stunt show. Then we went on
rockin roller coaster. Followed by Voyager of the little mermaid. What a cute
show… they even sprinkle you with water to make you feel like you are under the
sea…. So refreshing. After that we went to Tower of Terror, which was not a
favorite for my parents. They both were very mad at me as I made them go on
it! Since the ride is on Sunset (where I
work), we visited and I saw of my friends and of course we had a snack. Next
stop was Star Tours, which is one of the most popular rides at HS. It is a
simulator that takes you on an adventure from one planet to another. It was
even in 3D!
As there is so much to do in HS, we didn’t
stop for a second and headed straight to see the Beauty and the Beast show. I
haven’t seen it since I have been here, so I was excited. It was such a nice
excerpt from the movie. It highlighted the main parts very well and Belle and
Gaston sang live for all of us. Thee did an amazing job. After that, we headed
over to our dinner reservation at 50’s Prime Time Café. It was an experience
and well worth the price. It’s everything you think about the 50’s. The décor,
the way the cast member’s act and especially the menu! We had a blast at the
restaurant and it made our experience at HS just that much better. After that
we headed over to the Frozen show. Everyone was laughing up a storm and it was
such a great show. We ended off the night with the Toy Story Mania ride and of
course Fantasmic! Fantasmic was different then the first few times I saw it. It
was a great end to my families vacation and of course my time with them.
On a side note… I just realized that I have
now been away for 2 months! Boy is time flying by so fast. I cannot believe
everything I have done so far.
Until next time,
Michelle
