Orlando Central Knights Inn

... on the day of departure I actually cancelled my plans to go because of a cold front that was making its way through the Orlando area this weekend and that was bringing allot of mositure with it, and because I did not think it would have ended up being a good thing to be sleeping in a tent with two young kids in the pouring rain and with temperatures dipping down into the 40's.

After ...

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 ...

Today we went for a drive and visited a walmart store - we found some good bargains on t-shirts etc. One interesting thing is that Ipods and other electronics now cost about the same as in the UK. bought a card reader for $13 only to find where I'd hidden mine when we got back to the hotel. so I now have two....

we had the great joy of seeing 3 juvenile alligators in a ...

... as well. I even went right under the sign that says

"this is where dreams come true."

Ah well. I made it to the hostel with no real problems and then found

an empty reception desk. They had left a handy little phone there to

call the desk lady to come check you in. Nothing like prompt service.

Again, you get what you pay for.

The little asian girl who checked me in was helpful but her first

... F (25 C). The dolphin encounter is something that I have always wanted to do, and I have to say that it was enjoyable. These creatures are extremely large, strong and smart. At no time did I feel uncomfortable in the water with this big fellow. You will see a few pictures of Nate and I attached to this blog. The trainer asked me to attempt to lift Nate up, which is why you will see a few funny faces that ...

... The people in the group were friendly and welcomed me into the group as one of their own.  There were 26 rigs, I'm not sure how many women.  We had social hours and potlucks.  One of the highlights was the Endeavor Shuttle launch on Friday night.  It was only a few miles away and we could see the launch from our campground.   I also learned about GEOCACHING.  I am now hooked and would like to Geocache around the world.  If you never heard of it before, neither ...

... and he said he wasn't excited about being at Disney World again?!?!  ;-) We'd decided on MK, because we wouldn't be doing it first with the Scotland Crew when they arrived, as small kids are usually disappointed in the oter parks if they go to MK first ... 10:30am. I'm on Main Street and wondering where to go first ... I stop at Guest Services to ask about a Guest Assistance Card, because G has a mild form of autism, and can't handle loud, confined spaces for too long. The Cast ...

... was cool. You shake it and a little Tornado forms in front of a farm scene in the background. I love it. The next showing of "Beetlejuice's Rock and Roll Graveyard Review" was only fifteen minutes away, at 7:45, so we headed over to the theater. The theater was outside but since the sun had already gone down it wasn't too hot out, which was definitely good. The theater was pretty empty but we went all the way to the last ...

Christen was in her "terrible" two's so for the 16 hour drive, Leah had packed a number of gifts wrapped up as presents for her to open and items for her to play with. Well.....after about 2 hours of travel, she had run out of these presents....In a stroke of genius, Leah just began re-gifting, re wrapping the gifts and giving them to ...
