There is a resort for everyone to stay at on Disney property from cabins, hotel rooms, to deluxe villas, and if cost is an issue, resorts prices range from $40 for a cabin to $3,500 suite at Swan and Dolphin per night. From the exterior to the rooms, each resort has its own theme it associates with from Yellowstone National Park at the Wilderness Lodge to Victorian Style at the Grand ...

... slaves - beware.

Maybe, after we brought Cinderella’s Royal Table & Pecos Bill’s to the quality of such fabled eateries as “Wendy’s”, we can bring to the “Yak & Yeti” up to the standards of the “Happy Dragon Takeout Kitchen”.

As we left the “Yak & Yeti”, we headed over to Rafiki’s Planet Watch on the Imperial Train ...

Today was our last day visiting my grandparents in Orlando. We got there on Friday afternoon after a long drive through Georgia.   Before we arrived I had talked to Teta(grandma) and Gidoo(grandpa) on the phone. They had asked if we had eaten breakfast. I told them that we had gotten a bag of boiled peanuts.   By the way, if you are unfamiliar with boiled peanuts they are a traditional ...

... the idyllic perspectives of orange groves and vineyards. I arrived at the realization that the approach to Orlando from the north provides sustainably less entertainment than our previous commute. We did, however, indulge in dixie cups filled with free Florida Orange Juice, which refreshed our parched throats. I am so happy that we have arrived, and I cannot wait to embark on our journey to the Safari tomorrow when we arrive in Animal Kingdom.

... cables slackened again and we experienced another fall. From then on we could enjoy the ride as we sailed back and forth until we came to a standstill, unleashing an almighty 'Whiplash, the Cowboy Monkey' chant as we sailed over the rest of the group. Bloody awesome!! Aids had beers waiting for us as we got off, what a champ!! We walked around the rest of Old Town and stopped in at a few bar's along the way before calling it a night ahead of a long day at Disneyworld the next day.

... and CityWalk! We all lounged around the house and relaxed. At 3:00 mom, dad and I played California Rummy while Mike watched TV. I won! As we were playing I tried to think of something to do since we didn't want to just sit around all day. Then it came to me... Downtown Disney! We have to go to Downtown Disney on every trip, and I had a hard time fitting it into this one. We were planning on going on our last day but going now would free up our last day ...

Today we spent the whole day gallivanting around MGM. Of course we did Tower of Terror and Rockin' Roller Coaster, as well as The Great Movie Ride, Muppets 3D, Indiana Jones Stunt Specatular, Light, Honey I Shrunk the Audience, Lights, Motor ...

... not suitable for small kids), The Haunted Mansion (brave little kids would be ok), and Tomorrowland Transit Authority

We also did some shows here - Mickey's PhilaharMagic abd Monster's Inc Laugh Floor, and the afternoon castle show.

We also managed to somehow squeeze in a parade! We had great seats thanks to Kevin's know all - and the characters came right up to us because they all knew Kevin - it was great fun!

We spend our first day - where I always like to go first, EPCOT. There is really something magical about this place! As we were on a time crunch with this trip we couldn't spend all day here - so we had to pick our top favorites and try the new rides and exhibits.

As always, I made a beeline to Test Track and then followed with the ...

... were eating at the Polynesian, and he waved us through. We took a wrong turn, though, and ended up at the Ticket and Transportation Center. We went in a big circle around the entrance to the Magic Kingdom parking lot and again went though the parking gates, to a different cast member this time! Then we again made the same mistake. Wow, this driving around Orlando thing just wasn't working out for us, haha! Eventually we figured out ...
