Trails 2 Travel

 And finally the moment you've all been waiting for... MAGIC KINGDOM! I love this park and all the kiddie rides but it is always so packed! So we learned always go for like the last 3-4 hours and most of the rides have a lot shorter wait times... like a lot shorter. PLUS Magic Kingdom recently added a new Fantasy Land which includes the Beast's castle (pictured here) and Ariel's castle with lots of opportunities to meet some characters.  The fireworks at Magic Kingdom are some of the best I've seen. And the best place to watch them is actually in New Fantasy Land outside of the new Gaston's Tavern. The fireworks were RIGHT over us! We sat down with no crowds enjoyed some snacks and had us a show!  My favorite princess of the whole trip: Chandler in front of Cinderella's castle! (also my favorite.) She loved it!  Also a picture of her in the dress I got her for her birthday this year. She also loved it even though it dropped glitter everywhere! ...

 And on to my favorite Disney Park despite its lack of rides! EPCOT! It really only has 3 big rides, and 3 little ones. First there's SOARIN (My fav ALL TIME ride), Mission Space (which I didn't even bother trying to ride since it makes you sick), and Test Track. The little ones are the Mexico boat ride (which is little and quite, quite lame but Chandler liked it), Spaceship Earth (which they recently renovated and Judy Dench narrates and is really quite enjoyable learning about the history of man and designing a wacky future.) and the NORWAY Ride! It's such a run little boat ride where you even go down a hill backwards. Here Jenna and I are in front of that part so no... that boat is not about to plunge over that little waterfall.  The rest of Epcot is centered around the countries. My mom and I love to walk around all of them. I love the detail and architecture and when we eat our way around the world... we usually really love the food too! So here's some pict...

 Day 2 began with Hollywood Studios! This is one of my favorite parks for its shows and rides! Number 1 ride? The Rockin Rollercoaster. It shoots you off at the beginning into a dark inside ride with Aerosmith playing in your ears, loops, and even a barrel roll! It's seriously one heck of a ride!  Another person favorite is the Great Movie Ride. It always amazes me the amount of animatronics and live action cast that goes into this ride. (The animatronics are superb!)  Mary Poppins :)  And of course The Wizard of Oz. It also features great films such as Indiana Jones, Casablanca, Tarzan, The Public Enemy, and of course Alien which has terrified me since I first rode this ride way back when. (Chandler was adorable when we went through the Alien section. She clapper her hands over her eyes and just leaned in towards Tiffany)  Pictures from the ride entrance to Rockin Rollercoaster!  And another personal favorite at Disneyland as we...

 FINALLY! Another Vacation! :) I paid Florida another trip with my family the week of August 15-23rd and it was great! My flights were great there and back with premium seats. For the first time in my life I sat in the very first row of the plan. I can't tell you how wonderful it was. haha When I got in on Friday we went to the Typhoon Lagoon and rode all the slides we needed to there Oh AND Swam with hammerhead sharks! Yikes! (One even touched my mom and me ) Saturday we also spent at Blizzard Beach! Though half they day it rained and we spent our time souvenir shopping, we still got to ride all the side we wanted to there as well!  Sunday morning we went to Sacrament Meeting where they had a wonderful speaker who talked about patience! He was hilarious and wonderful to listen to so I'm glad I went! Then we headed out to the beach! We stopped at Ron Johns at Cocoa Beach! We did our shopping but unfortunately didn't step foot on the beach for fear of getting the fl...
