We went to Epcot, Magic Kingdom, MGM, and Animal Kingdom. The first day, we went to Epcot. We had a nice lunch at the Morrocan restaurant at Epcot with a belly dancer. We took a picture of grandpa next to the dancer and he said he didn't even realize she was next to him.
Later on in the evening, we met one of my aunt's friend's cousins wholives in Orlando and works for Disney. He gave me some information on housing, jobs, etc there. He started out with ticketing at Disney for 1 1/2 yrs before getting an accounting job there. He took us to MGM to see this neat water/laser show. Luckily we went to the early show, as it rained out by 9 p.m. We had dinner at the ABC Commissary and went to the Muppets 3-D show and after that, we ran like mad in the rain to the park exit. We grabbed some garbage bags from a worker and used that for ponchos.It was quite funny.
My mom and I spent the next day at Magic Kingdom and went on the rides. We really liked the log ride. We had a nice lunch at the Crystal Palace Restaurant there and the different Disney characters came around your table.The buffet was really good. It overlooked the Magic Castle which was neat.
Then, at night, Charlene, grandpa, Beulah, mom and I went to this Hoopty Du dinner show at the Wilderness campground. We took a boat from Magic Kingdom over to the campground. It was a nice show. They served us chicken, ribs, mashed potatoes, salad, bread, and strawberry shortcake for dessert.
The 3rd day, the whole family went to Animal Kingdom and took the safari ride and then we split up for the afternoon.
We got on the cruise on Sunday, April 1st at Port Canaveral. The cruise
itself was ok, but more geared for kids and families. I did get my picture
taken with Mickey and Minnie. I still have to download those pictures.
My mom and I went Parasailing on the trip. It was fun, but scary being way up there in the air. I was able to see the whole island that Disney owns (Castaway Cay).
But, I am glad to be home now. I have been on 5 trips this past year and exhausted. Lately, I have felt stressed out for some reason andthat has been bugging me. I sure hate feeling so down. I sure hope I start to feel better soon.
