Walt Disney World

Фев 242008

Well, here one of my dream has also come true today. I’ve been in Disney World. Oh, that was amazing! It was like in fairy tales.
Unfortunately, we didn’t see all the parks in Disney. There are lots of them, but we didn’t have enough time

So, we’ve spent the whole day at Epcot park. The fist attraction we attended was «Spaceship Earth». That was pretty nice and unusual. (To tell the truth, everything is unusual in Disney). There, in a Time Machine, we have made travel from the Glacial age to Nowadays.

Then, by Daniel’s recommendation (thanks, Daniel!) we went to attraction called «Honey, I shrunk the Audience» (It’s 3-D adventure film). Oh, my God, we had a lot of fun!!!

We also went to «Test Track» (by the way it’s the longest and fastest attraction in Disney history — so says the brochure we were given at the counter).

The last one is called «Soaring». Awesome and amazing flying adventure! I’ve never seen stuff like that. Once again A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!

Of course, we couldn’t miss nighttime fireworks show: «IllumiNations: Reflection of Earth». Guys, that was really gorgeous!!! I’m speechless!

Then, being a little bit tired, but still happy, we went to our hotel.

The day was great and we had a lot of fun! Disney really rocks!!!

Trip to Florida, Day 2

So, another day is almost over. We woke up around 9 am and ate breakfast. I looked up Disney World’s address in Google Maps and we were ready to go. First of all, we went to the car wash because I wanted to clean all salt from the car. The wash itself was fun because it was an automated facility: for some reason me and Darya love to sit in the car and watch the process

Finding Disneyland was easy. We live very close to all parks so it took no more than 10-15 minutes to get there. And as Daniel told me before — traveling in US is a pure pleasure: signs are everywhere so it’s hard to get lost and everything is made for people’s convenience, really. The scale of the park is amazing! I think that it’s more correct to call Disneyland a town with it’s own infrastructure — there are highways, hotels, huge parking lots and stuff like that.

Parking cost us $11 for all day. We thought it would be more than that. The parking lot itself is humongous! Oh yeah, have I mentioned that Darya was all fired up when she saw us approaching to the park? She almost went nuts and I didn’t know how to calm her down No, that’s not true, just kidding. But she was excited, she really was! And I loved looking at her at that moment. She just turned into the kid: emotions and mimics were so natural Another dream came true…

We proceeded to the counter to buy the tickets. Tickets were around $150 for 1 day. Unfortunately, I wasn’t smart enough to buy multi-parks tickets so we could visit several parks in one day. We assumed that we could with our tickets, but that wasn’t the case…

Most of Attractions were awesome! I especially loved «Soaring», «Honey, I shrunk the audience» and «Test Track». At some point I became a little bored, especially when we took the boat ride. I wanted more action all the time (some roller coasters, eh?). But I’m glad that we stayed until closing because the fireworks show was spectacular!

I’m going to edit and upload another video, so stay tuned, folks!
