Riu Orlando Hotel

... Orlando around 11am and we stopped in for lunch at grandma and grandpa in Boynton Beach before making it back home finally around 5pm. After off loading the car we went for a bicycle ride around the neighborhood, which is the kids favorite activity these days.

By the snoring going on behind me I believe Rebecca and Christopher had a fun weekend as well, and now it is my time to hit the sack.

We all have grown up fantasies and Fairy tales and always wondered how it would be to be in a fairy land or the Magic World. My dreams seemed to have come true , only a bit late in life! Well i am walking into the third decade in my life but still excited about going to the Disney World Orlando.

Our trip starts with a jinx , first with the shuttle breaking down on the way to the airport and second with our flight ...

... stream - see video below. Julie stood next to a huge stuffed alligator in a gift shop on international drive (see picture).

In the afternoon went to wet n wild and had another go on some rides. I carefully stayed out of the sun to give the sunburn chance to heal.

all told a lazy day .... but a nice one. Also had some chocolate covered pretzels... yum yum...

... waited... then removed my warm sake from the microwave:) IMHO it tastes MUCH better heated.

If this was not your pleasure, there was Japanese beer (Sapporo, & Kirin), sweet plum wine, juice, water, and of course, tea (what Japan party would be complete without tea!).

Then there was the food... sushi, gyoza (dumplings), seaweed salad, and little candies for afterwards. Sorry, no takoyaki or okonomiyaki:( Complimentary chopsticks were provided as ...

... and seeing Goofy and Stich , then we head back to HS and do alot of things, and then go over to our hotel for a little cool down in the swimming pool and then back in good time for the Fatastimic which we missed out on last Year do to high temeperatures and a grumphy husbond.

I really looking forward to see that show.
AFter that I think we will eat at Dolphin hotel where we stayed last year.

That was first day.

... has received when the rich and famous get together to give awards to... the rich and famous. The awards were shaped as a golden man holding a stick, placed on film reels and are named after…what I believe…is a hot dog – the Oscar.

Once outside we breathed a sigh of relief, but we walked around the corner we saw a group of Imperial slaves standing in line – shivering in fear.

Yes, the most horrible creature of ...

... a great place to eat, Good choices of food for every one and I felt in love with some African turkey meat .( For they who donīt know this about me is that our favorite country to go on holiday is Tunis in Africa )I would have loved to stay at this place more I think. After eating of we went to Animal Kingdom Park. Wow we liked this park very much, I only felt it should have been open a couple of more hours because we couldnīt manage to see it ...

... Erin. While the decor may not be something that we would choose for out house, it is decent. We have seen a lot worse. The staff here are very freindly and nice. Always a pleasant greeting and a smile everytime we encounter them. The maid service is a advertised, limited. We do not mind but it is the unpredictability of it. On Sunday, someone came in and ran the dishwasher but that has ...

... how anyone could pick TV over Disney World. This is always a problem I have. Mike loves the parks, but he isn't in love with Disney like I am. He'd have fun at any theme park with good rides, whether it was Disney or not. I always get mad at him for complaining and this time was no different. However, then I thought about what it would have been like to spend three weeks at a time for three years in a row at Video Game Land or Playstation World (Dad and Mike are ...

... Mike, so we decided to head out of the park. It was only 7:00 and people were already lining Main Street for the 9:00 SpectroMagic parade. Good luck people, that's going to be some wait on the curb. Anyway, we went into the Main Street Emporium because I wanted to get the Minnie stuffed animal that I was originally going to get at the Grand Floridian. It was only $20 which I thought was pretty good... you know ...
