Disney Trip


In November, on the weekend before Thanksgiving we met Elissa, Jon and Sydney in Orlando to spend a few days at Disney World.  We had not seen them since the end of October, so the first order of business for Sydney was getting reacquainted with the fuzzy caterpillar that is on Papa's face.  





Our first day at Disney, we spent at the Magic Kingdom.  Sydney rode the Dumbo ride and enjoyed it.  
Sydney got to meet lots of Disney characters.


We stayed into the evening when they lit up Cinderella's castle.  It was pretty spectacular. 



Our second day in Orlando, we went to brunch in Celebration - Disney's planned community.  They even had fake snow on some of the community buildings.



Our third day in Orlando, we went to Disney's Hollywood Studios park.  We watched the Beauty and the Beast show and a stunt show and rode a couple of rides.   Jonathan braved the Hollywood Tower of Terror ride. 

We stayed late into the evening to watch Mickey's Fantasia show and then the Specticle of Dancing Lights.  It Disney "snowed" on us as we walked through the lights.


On our fourth day in Orlando, we visited Disney's Animal Kingdom - my favorite park.  
 
The Tree of Life




We watched the bird show, the Finding Nemo puppet show, and went on a safari tram to see the big animals.  Disney does a good job of getting you close to the animals.



We had a tiring, but enjoyable visit.  It sure was nice  to spend time with Elissa, Jon and Sydney.
