It’s the number one question that people have been asking me lately. My response has varied in honesty based on the person who’s asked, so let me be perfectly frank–Disney World is awesome! Puking my guts out early in my trip (when I was supposed to visit the Magic Kingdom) was not awesome. And that’s pretty much how the trip went. Fortunately, because of the wonder that is Disney, awesome seems to win out. Without going into all the nitty gritty details about interpersonal human relations, sickness, and the weatherman in Florida who got the forecast DEAD WRONG three days in a row, I’ll smile and say, “I had a wonderful time.” Because for the most part, that’s the truth.
Some of the best things about being in Florida are the palm trees, the lizards that run across the sidewalks, and the beautiful (sometimes nautical) birds. And of course, Disney World, which is pretty much its own county. There are four major amusement parks in Disney World–Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney Hollywood (which used to be MGM), and Animal Kingdom. Each park is beautiful, magical, and full of fun. I was psyched to visit them all as well as a Medieval Times dinner theater and a shopping area called Downtown Disney.
Instead of boring you with a bunch of details about this and that, I’ll instead post some pictures with random comments. I took all the pictures, unless I’m in the picture, then Sarah probably took it. If we’re both in the picture, obviously, someone else took it.
When I think Disney World, I think of that lovely castle nestled in the middle of Magic Kingdom, which is home to Cinderella and a really expensive restaurant and a fancy schmancy hotel room. I didn’t get to see either of those, but I still marveled at the beauty of the castle by both day and night.

Haha…it’s fun to mess around with the characters. They always ask you questions in character. For example, Ariel asked me where my sailors were and I told her that they ran off with some pirates to get rum.
Prince Caspian asked us where we lived in the “kingdom” and I told him “Narnia”. He said he hadn’t seen us around, and I said something about how he should invite us in for tea. He said he would, so when he does, you can totally come along, Rachel! 🙂
Costumed characters = never-ending amusement!
