For how long have you been home?
How will you like to bring your Childhood back even if it’s just for a moment?
Now, get your most favorite Disney Costume and let’s head to Walt Disney World Resort!
Time of Visit
February (not this year). At this time of the year; it was snowing heavily in New York, snowing lightly in Richmond, Virginia, lightly in Maryland, not snowing in Orlando, Florida.
There was something a little strange about the weather in Orlando (to someone like me, who does not live in the United States), you could see the Sun shining brightly in the sky and it was freezing cold!
Lodge
We lodged at Stay Sky Suites. What did I like about Staysky?
- Someone to attend the bags
- easily accessible location
- free wifi
- Concierge
- attentive front desk personnel
- a mini ‘kitchenette’
Ride to the WALT DISNEY WORLD RESORT
We ordered a Taxi and the driver (the fanciest I have seen my entire life) ;
THE LAKE AT THE ENTRANCE OF THE WALT DISNEY WORLD RESORT, ORLANDO, FLORIDA
Picturesque! It was so alluring! I was willing to take a risk of losing my camera than losing the opportunity to take this picture!
IT’S TIME TO EXPLORE - WELCOME TO THE HAPPIEST PLACE IN THE WORLD!!!
MAGIC KINGDOM
ONCE IN THE RESORT
After we got into the Resort, we had to convert the ‘reservation tickets’ to the actual ‘Disney World Gate Pass’ It’s the Plastic card I am holding in the first picture. It is very similar to an 'ATM card’.
It is from here, you decide which of the Theme Parks, you will be visiting first.
From here, you get into a Waiting train!
There are so many attractions here, you may ‘lose your mind’ trying to figure out which one to try. I traveled in a large group. That helped a lot! There was always one person to run around to get tickets to the next attraction before it got filled up;
- I went on fun rides; “Aladdin Cup”, “the Happiest cruise that ever sailed”, climbed up to a tree house, saw some actors who had dressed up as the Disney’s characters for the evening parade, watched an animated movie in 3D with 3D Glasses
, at some point, it appeared like something was coming right out of the screen at me
, took a picture in front of the Cinderella’s castle (the icon of Magic Kingdom); Our dear TraciC has a picture taken at the same location at night, you should go check it out!!!
- I took a picture at Liberty Square
Once upon a time, a long time ago; I took the “US History examination”, it was good to see something I had only read about; the Liberty Bell
- Every spot in the Resort is a reminder that you had to be happy! The Restroom was not left out
From here, we went to EPCOT
EPCOT THEME PARK
Epcot is for the geeky geek. It is all about Science and Technology.
I am not a geek but I absolutely enjoyed being here! It was at Epcot, I fell in Love with ‘America’.
and respected the thoughtfulness of the Walt Disney Team, the depiction of the steady advancement of technology and all was breath-taking and I mean this literally!
If you visit EPCOT and do not ‘take a picture at or of’ these two locations, please do not return home. Thank you.
The two Adventures I enjoyed most at EPCOT;
- **SPACESHIP EARTH (**where you get to travel in that huge ball behind me
) It details man’s journey from the beginning of creation up to date! You take this adventure seated in a Chair, Two on a seat! It isurreal! It’s like watching a 4DX movie! You get to ‘participate’ not just watch it! It is really fun. After you complete your ‘voyage’, you type your name just as it’s about to complete, then you come to this space to watch your face pop up somewhere here! it’s fun. We humans love fun naturally!
- ELLEN DeGEneres’ Energy Adventure (I heard this no longer exists) : Ellen and some other guy takes you through the creation of the world through the "big bang theory"
Interact with Dinosaurs and all other creations from the medieval ages! This is Exhilarating, fun and educative.
Finally, please no matter how far your house or lodge is to Walt Disney World Resort, please find a way to wait for the**“Evening Parade which includes fireworks and a lot of fun!!!” ¡Por favor, no se lo pierdan! **
Going to the Walt Disney Resort anywhere in the world and not experiencing the parade is a what? “an absolute Waste of time, money, energy and adventure”, don’t do it please!
Words can’t express! I will a GIF, please go to Youtube, you will find some videos too
Who is the saddest person you know? The greatest pessimist? Bring them here, they will laugh and for a long time too…
The Parade is; all of your favorite characters, favorite places, favorite kingdoms on wheels!
The fireworks are so detailed that you can feel all of your bad feelings erupting as the sky is lit with the beautiful representations!
It is a sight to behold! the beautiful music, the ambience, the actors, you are all fired up with joy and it keeps your mind on those words on the restroom; “Here you leave today, and enter the world of tomorrow and fantasy”.
Join me as I welcome; The “Celebrate a dream come True” Parade!
There are so many other pictures but I heard we all are entitled to only 1000 pictures onConnect I have allocated 200 of those to my Meetups, make do with these, okay?
Employ ‘Google Earth’, ‘Google Street view and Maps’ to visit this beautiful place until when the leg can go to where the heart wanders…
Have you been to any of the Walt Disney Resorts?
Please share your experience in "great resolution", Thank you.
