Things have changed a little since I was here in 1993. There are now four parks and over 20 huge Disney Resorts making up Disneyworld! That doesn’t count the water park and a race course for adults. Everything is very spread out. We lucked out with our condo right behind the Wild Animal Kingdom. It makes the driving really easy. The condo is huge & I have my own bathroom, very nice! Saturday afternoon we went over to Downtown Disney to check out the Earl of Sandwich for lunch but the line was out the door. A pretzel dog did us just fine before heading over to the Magic Kingdom. Both were so crowded we were afraid we might be dodging strollers all week. We did a few rides, figured out the Fast Pass and got our bearings. It takes a little more figuring out than Disneyland. Our favorite ride was getting soaked on Splash Mountain. I think Christy could have rung out her pants they were so wet!

Sunday we decided to do something totally new and headed for the Wild Animal Kingdom. We were pleasantly surprised to find it not crowded at tall. Our favorites were a great jeep tour through Africa with live animals and a nail biting, screaming ride through Mount Everest with the Yte chasing us. Disney has really made an effort to educate us tourists on conservation and the dangers of man to our environment and the animal kingdom in a very entertaining manor. It was great to have employees all along trails telling us about various animals we were seeing. The grounds were lush and beautiful. We walked about five miles through Africa and over to Asia before going back in time to the land of the dinosaurs. We left in time to pick up one of Chris and Norms favorite pizzas from Pizzaria Uno and settle in for the Academy Awards on our very large screen TV.

We walked six miles through Epcot today and didn’t even get to World Showcase where the various countries have displays. When I was here before that was all there was to Epcot and we thought it was fabulous. Now it is a two day experience. We blasted off to Mars. I did the more strenuous side while Chris and Norm took the less strenuous ride; heavy warnings on motion sickness. Nice to have a choice. What an amazing ride! Next we did the race track. Epcot also has some very educational but fun shows and rides on conservation. We took a bus over to Downtown Disney to the Fulton Crab House for a late lunch. It sits on the lake and looks like a river boat. We ended the day with Soarin California, one of our very favorite Disney rides. We got back home just before a down pour.
