Disney Adventures

We have been going non-stop since we arrived here on Tuesday.  I think Sonny and I have walked more in the past 3 days than we have in the last year!!  Sonny's hips are not liking it and he has been in some pain all week but he has been a trouper and kept on going.  Friday was our first free day.  Ashley was at her conference all day so Sonny and I took the opportunity to enjoy the buffet breakfast and to sit out by the pool most of the day - of course, me dozing in the sun and him under the umbrella table reading! 

We went to Magic Kingdom on Tuesday.  I have never seen so many baby strollers in one place in my life!  We had "fast passes" for 3 rides so the wait was not so bad.  We rode Space Mountain (roller coaster), Thunder Mountain, and It's a Small World and also saw the Country Bear Jubilee.  That evening we went over to Downtown Disney where we had reservations at Raglon Irish Restaurant which was wonderful.  There were Irish dancers and singers performing so after we ate, we moved up to the bar to enjoy the entertainment.  In fact, it was so good, we returned Friday night!

Wednesday we went to Hollywood Studios which was a lot of fun too.  Again, I was surprised that we did not have to wait too long for rides .... AS long as you had those precious Fast Passes!  We watched a great show demonstrating how Hollywood stunts are done and went on a couple of rides,  For dinner we had reservations at a 50s Diner and was it ever good as well as fun.  The waitress was super - she kept reprimanding me to take my elbows off the table and when Sonny went to the rest room, she asked him if he had washed his hands! 

Thursday, we went to Animal Kingdom - probably my favorite.  The Tree of Life there was just awesome!  It is a sculpted 145-foot tall (50 feet wide) artificial tree.  We took a safari ride and saw lots of animals - elephant, rhino, giraffe, crocs, etc.  Great fun!

Saturday we did Epcot at a slower pace.  Sunday will probably finding us relaxing pool side before heading to the airport to drop Ashley off and we'll start our trip home.
