First I want to say THANK YOU for reading my report.
And, thank you for your kind comments!
I didn't know how much interest there would be in a trip taken by two old people
I lurked on this board before our trip, and I loved reading all of YOUR trip reports, so thank you!
My camera is a Canon Power Shot A510, I like it because it's simple to use.
DISNEY WORLD - DAY 5
Woke up and got ready for the day.
Had breakfast at the hotel again.
C'mon, let's get on the bus, and go to
THE MAGIC KINGDOM!
We arrived at the gate, and headed down Main Street to Cinderella's Castle.
A statue of Walt and Mickey ...
Another view of the castle ...
I have no idea who or what this is ...
Help me out here ...
Blue Bear? ...
I really should have written some notes!
We headed to TOMORROW LAND, and rode SPACE MOUNTAIN,
That was a mistake!
Eighteen years ago I loved it, but now ... we had a hard time just getting
in and
out of the "spaceship"!
Let's find something tame! We rode Tomorrow Land's transit authority, which is an elevated train.
Ah, nice and smooth.
Next we went to see STITCH'S GREAT ESCAPE.
Didn't like it!
You're trapped in a seat, with a bar on top of your shoulders.
They pump smells into rides at Disney, mostly pleasant smells, but the chili dog odor in here was making me gag!
(At least I think it was a pumped in smell, although it could have been Norb.)
Whew, I was glad to get out of there!
Let's go to MICKEY'S TOONTOWN!
The teacups ...
So cute to see grown men spinning around in a teacup with their little children!
But Norb refused to ride with me.
The Flying Dumbo ride ...
We didn't ride this, either. We don't like anything that goes round and round. We prefer to get dizzy from alcohol.
I turned around and didn't see Norb. Oh, I should have known ... he's in Minnie's house!!!
Here she comes, the apple of his eye ...
Well, two can play at this game. I think I'll leave those two alone, and I'll just go over to Mickey's house ...
Here's Mickey's bedroom, I love the drawer full of white gloves ...
And here's his backyard garden ...
Apparently, Mickey doesn't know about Minnie and Norb's indiscretions,
or maybe he does know, and he's just smiling through his tears ...
Next we rode the railroad, another nice slow ride.
Then it was time for some lunch.
We headed toward FANTASYLAND ... no, it's not what you think! (Norb was quite disappointed!)
We stopped at Pinocchio's Village Inn for chicken fingers and fries.
Then we rode PETER PAN'S FLIGHT ...
SNOW WHITE'S SCARY ADVENTURE, which wasn't really scary.
Awwww, the prince is going to wake her with a kiss ...
Then we went to see MICKEY'S PHILHARMAGIC, another very entertaining 3-D movie.
Did we ride IT'S A SMALL WORLD?
ABSOLUTELY NOT!
That song is still stuck in my head from 18 years ago!
Next we headed to LIBERTY SQUARE, and went to THE HALL OF PRESIDENTS.
Very impressive, all of the U.S. Presidents on the stage, moving and speaking.
Sorry, no flash photography allowed.
After that we went to ride THE HAUNTED MANSION, I love this ride!
At the end there is a ghost riding in the car with you ... very well done!
We headed towards FRONTIERLAND, and we rode BIG THUNDER MOUNTAIN RAILROAD.
This was the longest we waited in line, about 20 minutes.
We skipped SPLASH MOUNTAIN, because you really do get wet, and it was not that warm.
We watched for a while ...
Then we rode the railroad again.
The last stop was ADVENTURELAND.
We rode PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN, and THE JUNGLE CRUISE ... both great!
Elephants on the Jungle Cruise ...
Entertainment on Main Street ...
We decided to head back to the hotel for a little rest.
I think we walked about 37 miles today.
We took the bus back to the hotel, and after a nap we decided to go back to Downtown Disney for dinner.
We got to the Rainforest Cafe, and there was an hour wait for a table.
We waited, because we
really wanted ribs again.
Had another delicious meal, then back to the hotel with a stop in the lobby bar.
Excellent singer and sax player ...
Soon it was time to get some sleep.
Our trip is over, and the next morning we had time for some breakfast before being picked up on the Magical Express bus, and taken to the airport.
We had a great time in Disney World!
The first week in February was a good time to go, very low crowds, hardly any lines.
Like I said at the beginning of my report, we are Mexico addicts. In fact we are packing for our 19th trip to the Yucatan.
But a short winter trip to Disney World was just what we needed. I just wish the weather would have been a little warmer.
THE END!
