Disneyworld May 11- 21, 2008

What is going on? Been a while since I posted anything on the blog and figured I should update myself and my family. Let us go back in time to May 11, 2008. Tis a fine mothers day, Angie and I are at the Salt Lake City airport waiting to fly out to Orlando Florida. We boarded the southwest 737 aircraft and flew out and landed in St. Louis where we picked up some more passengers and went on to Orlando Florida, where the sky was blue and the humidity was cruisin'. We landed and got on to the tram that took us into where we could get our luggage. With the humidity, it was a good time pulling all the bags we took. We finally found where we were supposed to go, after walking around aimlessly in the airport. Orlando airport is huge. We then got our baggage checked and boarded onto the Walt Disney Magical Express.
That is Angie on the buss in the above picture. We drove for a while and we watched a Disney introduction dvd that they had on the bus, it told us all about the different parks and things to do while we were there. We arrived at our resort called the Walt Disney's All-Star Movies resort. We got our room and lugged our baggage to the room. When we got there, Angie sat with maps and plotted out our game plan on where and when we were going to the parks. We stayed in the 101 Dalmation section of the resort. Once we were settled, we went down and got a drink and kicked it by the pool for a while until it began to rain.
The next day, we woke up early and got all ready and headed out for our first day in the parks. Our first park was MGM or Disney's Hollywood Studios. I loved this park, it shows how movies are made and Angie was an extra in the Indiana Jones show.
Isn't she hot? I think so!!! We both loved the park. We did rides like Star Tours, and the Backlot tour, which shows props from famous movies and t.v. shows. like Home Improvement.
It is a way cool park. We also did rids like Rockin' roller coaster, which is an amazing totally cool ride. It is with music from Aerosmith and just a complete blast. We also went on Tower of Terror a few times. Angie loved Tower better than Rockin' so one time I road Rockin' and Angie went on Tower. We saw shows like Beauty and the Beast and Fantasmic, which are really good. Took pictures on the streets and in front of the Mickey hat. We road the Great Movie Ride, which takes you through time and the evolution of movies. We saw the Little Mermaid show and One Man's Dream, which shows you the history of Walt Disney and how things came about. We did voice overs, We tried to ride the new Toy Story ride but we missed it by one day. They opened it the day we left to come home. The second day we were at MGM, we did all the same stuff and I took my picture at Star Tours with my head put onto a Sith's body, it looks really good, i will have to post it later. We also saw the cool stunt show they do with the cars and things and show how they do chase scenes. The park was awesome both days we were there. It is probably my second favorite behind the Magic Kingdom.
We then went to Epcot and loved that park as well. The first day we didn't like it as much as the second day because we didn't do it all the first day and did the rest of it and found out that we loved that park. It is a park of total fun and learning at the same time. We did Soarin' and the Nemo ride and Test Track, which is a way cool ride. You ride in a car like a test dummy and they send you through all the tests they do to real cars. Total blast, they take you out and get you going over 60 miles per hour. We went through all of the countries and did some rides in Mexico and the Netherlands I think. They were really fun. We ate dinner in China and again in Mexico. Mexico dinner was really good. We sent postcards to friends and family. E-Postcards, and did mission space and spaceship earth and saw what mine and angies futures were going to be like. That is the ride in the golf ball. We also saw Ellen's show and ride and did the Living with the Earth Ride. There, you see new ways they are groing plants and how big the vegetables and fruit are getting. We absolutely loved that park. We also did innoventions, which is a place where you learn how they are making the earth a better place. I drove the garbage truck and angie and i sifted through our own trash and recycled. We also saw the home of tomorrow and i gotta say it rocks with all the new technology. That is me out front of Test Track, a favorite of ours.
Well that is all I have time to write about for now. I will continue again on the rest of the parks and our trip. We absolutely loved it and can't wait to go back. So much to write about. We took over 400 pictures and filled up 4 video tapes. We loved it. Catch ya back here soon!!! Peace out!!!!
