Where all your Dreams come True!

So for my Spring Break at the end of March, I went with one of my coworkers to DISNEY WORLD! I'd only been here once with my parents a few years back and we only made it to the Epcot center. So this was really a whole new world for me. It was Disneyland super-sized!

My coworker LOVES Disney World. She goes several times a year. For a while, she's been trying to convince me to go with here. Finally, the opportunity to go was right. And lucky for me, she knew all of the secrets and  how to really have a magical time.

With FOUR parks to explore, we had a lot to discover.

Magic Kingdom,

Hollywood Studios,

Epcot Center,

 and Animal Kingdom

were just awaiting our arrival.

Animal Kingdom may have been my favorite. 

It was here that I met Donald, Goofy, and Minnie Mouse. 

They put on some incredible shows and it was fun to observe animals on the Safari.

We look pretty good for just having gone on a Safari!

We watched a "Going Buggy" inside the Big Tree.

We look like we are "going buggy" wearing the 3-D shades.

 

Magic Kingdom
At the Magic Kingdom, we met up with a student from school and went on Thunder Mountain, Splash Mountain and other rides with her family. They then took us to lunch, which was so kind of them.

We also went on Space mountain several times and other fun rides on our own. We watched one of the parades during the evening one night.

 One morning we had breakfast at Crystal Palace and we got to meet the characters from Winnie the Pooh.

EPCOT CENTER

I had been to Epcot with my mom a couple of years previously. It was fun to go back and do some of the things I was unable to do the first time. One of the BEST rides was SOARIN'. It was a flying simulation that took you on a flight over different parts of California.  It even provided you with the scent you would smell if you were there. An AMAZING and a breath-taking experience!

Another fun ride was Test Track. This ride took you through the experience of being in a car going through different safety inspections.

The Epcot is fun because they have several different countries around the world represented. In a reasonable amount of time, you can walk around and feel like you have visited several different countries. We ate lunch in "Canada" one day and they served Chocolate "Moose" for dessert.

We also enjoyed looking at all the fun topiary and flowers.

I LOVE SUNFLOWERS!

One night we watched the firework show, while eating ice cream. With Easter approaching, they had a special Easter Bonnet Sundae. The bonnet tasted DELICIOUS!

Hollywood Studio
My favorite ride in this park was probably the Tower of Terror. I don't know why I liked it so much but it may have been the element of surprise involved in the ride. Another favorite ride was Toy Story, where you competed against your friends and tried to hit different items as you went throughout the ride.

They also had some fun stunt shows. One show featured Indiana Jones' stunt double and taught you some tricks they use when completing stunts. The car show  you how they performed the car stunts in movies.

Another fun activity was participating in a live audience studio for American Idol. There are opportunities each day to audition to be perform like you are on American Idol. As an audience member you get to vote on who was your favorite performer. At the end of the day, all of the winners perform against each other and the winner of the day gets to audition for the next American Idol.

I forgot to get a picture of our hotel. But we were staying in the Pop Century, which feature different decades. We were in the 60's and had a bowling pin shaped pool.

My dreams came true at Disney World and I can't wait to go back!
