It's hot but we're happy - um hello it's Disney!!

After a sad goodbye with my lovely family, we boarded another jet plane and flew into Orlando Florida in the late hours of Monday night!

Both Tim and I were hit with some serious humidity stepping off the plane and believe me; the humidity has NOT stopped ever since!

After a few little hiccups we finally checked into our room and absolutely crashed into bed! Our first day in Florida was spent soaking up the tropical rays by the pool relaxing before 3 fun filled days at Disney land, 1 fun filled day at Universal Studios and another fun filled day at Wet and Wild!

Our first day at Disney was the best! We caught our shuttle to the park and were amazed that Disney World is so big that it has its own major highway - ummm Mr Disney does not do anything in halves, obviously! We then boarded the monorail to the park itself.

Our first day was spent at the Magic Kingdom (one of 4 fantastic Disney parks) park! We managed to ride a few rides (Tim mainly rode alone because I HATE free fall rides, and most Disney rides have that stupid free fall drop. I fret far too much and don't enjoy myself so I've officially become the designated umm... picture... taker!! It's a very important job !I managed to drag Tim onto my very favourite Disney Ride - "It's a small world after all" I found out very quickly that Tim does not share my enthusiasm on this ride, even to the point where he said it's the "worst ride ever made" - I didn't understand his disappointment because to me it's the happiest ship that has ever sailed!
 
We saw so many different attractions, and when the weather got to hot (and believe me, it is HOT here - between 38-41 C and about 97-99% humidity) we managed to catch a show or too to cool off (even the boring Hall of Presidents show - which made was a great educational nap!) 

After about 9.5 hours in the park we were exhausted and caught the monorail back to the shuttle. Let’s just say Tim and I slept a treat that night!


*Disclaimer: to those completely unaware my hair is curly in real life, and my hair and humidity are not friends! Beware of the curly hair, shiny face photo's! Can't help it, we are in the tropics!
