Westin Imagine Orlando

A very hot day. We purchased a 3 park, 7 day, ticket for universal, universal islands and wet n wild. This means that we can spend the rest of our time in Orlando messing around on theme park rides and swimming. Its a hard life :)<br><br>the best way to describe today is to discuss the rides <br><br>shrek 4d - a very amusing and fun 3d ride based around the shrek story. its a lot of fun and good laughs.<br ...

... was interesting to see christmas decorations on lampposts as we walked along in 80 degree temperatures.<br><br>after a salad lunch we went into the hotel pool and chilled and relaxed looking at the little lizards running around.<br><br>we also discovered that some idiot has forgot to pack the memory card reader - so no pictures from the cameras until i buy one (doh).<br><br>apparently we are near to the world largest gift shop (see picture), the use the doors to get a sense of scale

... them.<br><br>arrived in Orlando at approx 16:20. by the time we had the car it was dark, so after being awake for hours had to relearn how to drive on freeways in the dark... it was a bit scary.<br><br>arrived at the best western and am quite pleased with the hotel it has excellent swimming pools and hot tubs - so we hit those before going to bed.<br><br>we''re back.....<br>

... the windows were limited, they were very fine -- one from the Mellon home in Philadelphia in particular. Also enjoyed the several iridescent vases they had. <br><br>We had dinner at a Thai restaurant along Park Avenue -- quite tasty, and a very nice presentation. <br><br>Then, back to the hotel, to bed.<br>

... cove is not the typical park in Florida, it is more about interacting with nature and animals. People have the chance to swim with dolphins, learn about exotic birds, tropical fishes and land mammals, explore artificial coves. Situated just opposite to SeaWorld, there are no roller coasters and all people need is swimming suits and snorkels for the day.<br><br>Wet 'N Wild<br>Considered ...

Hello everyone. Well we have now had our first week 'travelling' - although this first part in Disneyville was never going to be anything other than a nice holiday. It is ridiculously hot - so hot in fact we have had tropical electrical storms almost daily, which actually have been quite a relief. <br><br>We bought Disney passes before we came, which enable us to go to Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, EPCOT &amp; Hollywood Studios, plus many other ...

... when we had to stand in line for almost one hour to get on the Big Thunder Mountain ride, and although the minute long ride itself was great I can't say that the wait was worth it. Sunday morning Sally and Peter departed back to Miami with their kids and Michelle and I went to Dinsey's Animal Kingdom (http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/parks /animal-kingdom ...

... Viking country), Canada, France and China, with the option of tasting either food or wine from many countries of the world. The taste of Boston Crab cakes or Lobster roll for a dinner, (not to be listed as the best food we have tasted, but guess it has to stick with the theme park tradition to make the food as rough as it can be. Never mind, we were tired and had enough by this stage and headed back to find the car, and headed home.

... game! Well, sort of a video game. Buzz Lightyear counts as a video game, right? After Buzz Lightyear we were going to go for an early dinner at Cosmic Ray's but we saw that the Carousel of Progress was loading so we headed inside. The cast member loading the ride was around 25 and ridiculously cute. Leave it to me to notice all the hot cast members, haha! He was a cutie, and I looked for him on our way out but he wasn't there. Sadness. Anyway, back to the Carousel ...

... at the floor in theme parks, why would you possibly lay on it?! Anyway, the show started right on time and was all about Sinbad, his dorky partner, and a female counterpart trying to slay the evil beggars. The guy who played Sinbad made me really wish I had taken my camera, he was gorgeous. Way hotter than even Tarzan, and wait until you see the picture I got of HIM. Haha! The show was really good... well, the first half was. Halfway through the show ...
