Disney world, Orlando, Florida


We had gone to disney world, Orlando in Sept as a family to celebrate our daughter ivanas 1st bday. We started our trip on aug 30th, friday afternoon. We had already booked a hotel. The drive from Valdosta, GA to FL was pretty smooth. But towards the end, it started raining heavily. It was dark and we couldnt see the boards. We lost our way but ended up reaching our hotel safely. The hotel room was pretty good with fridge, microwave, TV, AC etc. We had taken dinner with us. So we ate and slept off.


The next morning we were scheduled to do to Magic Kingdom. By the time we woke up, had breakfast and got dressed up it was 11 am. We finally reached the place by noon. Since it was the first day, it was as if were in wonderland. We had no idea where to go and how. But as we started exploring the place, we were amazed. We all enjoyed the day. We had pizza for lunch which was damm expensive.





The next day's plan was Epcot. This time we had a better idea about how to proceed and made a good plan. We were able to cover the entire park by evening. Ofcourse we were not allowed for certain rides because our daughter was too young. We decided to stay back for the fireworks which was amazing. By the end of the day, thats at 10 pm we were dead tired. We were supposed to go back to the hotel for dinner. But since we were so tired we decided to have our dinner in a nearby american buffet. American buffet was very very different comapared to our indian food. We managed to satisfy our hunger with salad, bread, mashed potatoes, macroni and some chicken.



We were eagerly waiting for the next trip to Animal Kingdom. Inspite of being very tired, we woke up early in the morning and went there. But we were kind of disappointed. Animal kingdom did have many animals and birds, but it was everything that we had already seen so many times. The park was closed by 5 pm since the animals needed their private time. To overcome our disappointment we decided to go to the chinese buffet. We had a heavy dinner. On our way back we went to Walmart and did some shopping. The best show that my husband enjoyed was the 3D show in Animal Kingdom.


The last and final day was in MGM Studio. It was an amazing place. But since we had to start back that day, we couldnt spend much time. We missed many shows and rides. Before leaving we got ivana a big minnie mouse doll and a minnie mouse headband. She was very excited with that. We had a chance to attend the disney parade where all the disney characters just walked in the streets. We got frozen lemonade and enjoyed the parade.

Overall, the trip was a big success. We cherish every moment of it. We had taken a lot of pics. It was a memorable experience.
