<p>Heading down to Orlando, Florida to enjoy some holiday cheer at the Walt Disney World resort with family and friends.  Will be posting when I can over the next week as I enjoy sights like the Dream Lights on Cinderella Castle. Aren&#8217;t they beautiful?</p>
<p>Last year I linked to a post I did for my Disney blog on how to photograph Christmas lights.  This year I blogged about how I did last year at Walt Disney World using those tips.  Thought you would find it a good refresher for the upcoming holiday light displays in your area: <a title="Picture This! Photoblog on Photographing Christmas Lights at Disney II" href="http://land.allears.net/blogs/photoblog/2009/11/photographing_christmas_lights_2.html" target="_blank">Photographing Christmas Lights at Disney II</a>.  If you like, please, post links to your holiday light photography in the comments below.</p>

<p>Happy Thanksgiving!</p>
<p>What shall I be thankful for?  Too many things to count, thank G*d, but let’s keep it with the theme here.</p>
<p>While visiting the Magic Kingdom and EPCOT Center in the 1980’s, we didn’t really think about how we were going to fuel up for and during the day.  We were a “commando-style” family to the max.  Stopping for lunch was a no-no, and taking a break during the day to swim or nap was heresy.  As a family who kept to a kosher diet (albeit with some leniencies that I’ve dropped over the years), the Disney dining experience just wasn’t happening for us.  So, our food-for-fuel consisted of a big breakfast at the hotel (likely cereal &#38; bagels), a snack during midday (Mickey bar, popcorn, etc.), and something for dinner.  We’d pick up some nosh at a counter service spot that was deemed kosher enough for us, and made do (or we had more popcorn, ice cream, etc.).  Again, food was for fuel purposes only in the Magic Kingdom – not for the nutritional value, and surely not for the culinary experience.  It worked well for us and we liked it.  We never felt we were missing out at all.</p>
<p>Decades go by, and I find myself in Anaheim for a conference, and my wife and 1 ½ year old daughter come along for a Disneyland experience.  Because she is so young, she doesn’t “get it” as much as we’d hoped.  So, we think out of the box: why not a character meal?  It’s expensive considering we would be able to eat much at all, but two things convince us to give it a go:</p>
<p>•	Breakfast is the easiest way to go for the kosher traveler<br />
•	My daughter is the biggest fan of Minnie I could imagine</p>
<p>So, off to the PCH Grill at the Paradise Pier hotel.  Total success! The smile on her face was incredible. It was an experience that was totally new for me, let alone her. I was convinced of the character meal dining experience.</p>
<p>So, what is new at Disney World when I go back in 2005 after a long hiatus?  Kosher meals!  Happy day!  We did kosher meals for character dining at Crystal Palace in 2005 and Tusker House in 2008.  What a great experience, and we even had hot kosher food. We also enjoyed the “luxury” of counter service kosher meals to get us through the day.  While I didn’t miss this at all as a kid, as a parent I am grateful.</p>
<p>Is the kosher dining at WDW and Disneyland anything close to the dining experience the average Joe has?  Absolutely not.  As anyone who keeps kosher in any capacity knows and understands, that would be a luxury that is rare on any kind of vacation.  But to have that option available makes the experience that much more enjoyable.  The food isn’t Victoria &#38; Albert’s, but it beats popcorn for lunch and ice cream for dinner.  And the character meals are now a “must-do” for us on any trip to a Disney park.</p>
<p>So, I am thankful for kosher dining at Disneyland and Walt Disney World.</p>
<p>(If there were to be a kosher resturaunt with freshly cooked kosher food on property, then expressing my gratitude wouldn’t be possible with words alone.)</p>

<description><![CDATA[Author: Anonymous Source: free-articles Staring cancer straight in the face, Joe Scott did not lose ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Author: Anonymous<br />
Source: free-articles</p>
<p>Staring cancer straight in the face, Joe Scott did not lose faith.  With his belief in God, support of his family and friends and his own inner-will,, <a href="http://www.disneyactingauditions.net"><b>disney acting auditions</b></a>,  Scott took on the battle of Hodgkin&#8217;s Lymphoma, a blood cancer that results in a swelling of the lymph nodes, and ultimately won.</p>
<p>
โA year of my life was filled with chemotherapy and radiation treatments, hospital visits, medical tests, fatigue, doctor visits, vomiting and other digestive track problems, lost hair, and a lot of pain,โ said Scott, describing his year-long battle.</p>
<p>โCancer treatments, disney acting auditions,  in 1991 were an endurance contest between the patient and the cancer, ending with the, disney acting auditions,  death of the loser.โ</p>
<p>
Taking advantage of his extended time, Scott began involving himself in local 5K races to raise money for cancer research.  After feeling the need to do something bigger, he took on another endurance challenge, Team in Training, a fundraising arm of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society that trains beginner to seasoned athletes for endurance events such as, disney acting auditions,  marathons (26.</p>
<p>2 miles), half-marathons (13.1 miles),, disney acting auditions,  triathlons, and century bike rides (100 miles).  In August of 2002, Scott began to train for the Walt Disney World Marathon the following January, even as doubts were lingering in his mind.  </p>
<p>
โThe training started out easy and got tougher.  But the folks at Team in Training were great coaches.  They really prepared, disney acting auditions,  me for the challenge.  The weekly group training kept me dedicated and focused on marathon training.</p>
<p>โ  </p>
<p>
Team in Training โ&#8221; Page Two</p>
<p>Scott&#8217;s goal was not merely to train for the marathon but to fundraise and give back to the Society throughout his commitment.  Scott used his personal struggle as an opportunity to share with friends and family and give them the chance to fight these deadly cancers.  He wrote letters that went in to detail about his fight with Hodgkin&#8217;s Lymphoma and his victory against the disease.  Through his efforts, Scott raised a total of $3439.40 for the Leukemia &#38; Lymphoma Society&#8217;s mission to find a cure for blood related cancers.</p>
<p>Once Scott completed his goal and conquered the grueling 26.2-mile course in Mickey&#8217;s backyard, he chose to continue his mission.  A short three weeks later he added the inaugural year of the Miami Marathon to his repertoire and took home a medal from the 13.1-mile half-marathon.  </p>
<p>Today, Scott&#8217;s spirits and outlook are high as he is in full remission and ready to take on the challenge, once again, to complete two endurance events in less than a month.  He is not only training for the Walt Disney World Marathon on January 11, 2004 and the Miami Marathon on February 1, 2004 he is also a Team Captain for the South Miami training site of Team in Training.</p>
<p>His advice for those contemplating running a marathon?  โIf a cancer survivor can do a marathon, imagine what you can do!โ</p>
<p>
Since Team in Training began in 1988, more than 190,000 participants have raised over $430 million through TNT to help the Society advance its mission: to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin&#8217;s disease, and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families.  For additional TNT information, call the Southern Florida Chapter of The Leukemia &#38; Lymphoma Society at (954) 961-3234 / (305) 937-7444; or visit us at www.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>We made it back safely from our trip and while we were gone, boys went to play football up north. Not a successful game but there is always next year.</p>
<p>We had a great time while the boys&#8217; grandma Dorothy moved in with them.  They complained loudly about not wanting her to fix spaghetti too many times so I thought I had better make things easy on Dorothy and fill the freezer with &#8220;pre-fabricated&#8221; foods.   We don&#8217;t usually eat that stuff but it made things simpler and the boys much more appreciative of what I do for them every night.</p>
<p>Alright, where we were, the chefs didn&#8217;t cook frozen dinners, they made special things for us and we loved every single bite they served up.  We had dinner among other places at <a href="http://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/01/24/a2/a2/the-bar-at-the-wolfgang.jpg" target="_blank">Wolfgang Puck&#8217;s Cafe&#8217;</a> where we sat at the sushi bar.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://z.about.com/d/hotels/1/0/a/U/2/flying_fish_dining.jpg" target="_blank">Flying Fish Cafe&#8217;</a>, we sat right here</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4352" title="100_0111" src="http://lifeinbenziecounty.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/100_0111.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>

<p>Here we were sitting at the bar at Fulton&#8217;s.</p>

<p>and many other places.</p>
<p>Here are some more pictures of what we saw and where we had fun.</p>
<p>We went on safari at the Animal Kingdome park and saw the king of the animal world sitting on top of his hill. I hope you can see him up there on the right of the tree.</p>
<p><a href="http://lifeinbenziecounty.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/100_0019.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4356" title="The lion on safari" src="http://lifeinbenziecounty.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/100_0019.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>

<p>The trunk of this tree holds a huge theater and has been carved or sculpted with over 300 images of animals.</p>

<p>And there is Mike on the back porch of the Hall of Presidents<a href="http://lifeinbenziecounty.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/100_0124.jpg"> </a></p>

.</p>
<p>And while we had lunch in France with a very <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KsI0qtPsdA&#38;feature=fvw" target="_blank">famous rodent</a>, we actually saw the Space Shuttle take off for another adventure</p>

<p>We were thoroughly entertained the whole 9 days</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>No time today for worry.  The positive aspect of vacation anticipation is starting to get intense.  My children have been fully exposed to the magic of Walt Disney World numerous times over the years and are as eager to be there as I am.</p>
<p>I still need to make a trip to the grocery store.  I still need to drive to C-U to pick up my son.  I still need to finish packing.  Clothes are out but not in the bags.  I haven&#8217;t grabbed any toiletries, jewelery, toys, shoes, hair ties&#8230;what else am I missing?  It doesn&#8217;t help that I stayed up way too late last night.  I was playing Bejeweled and watching the most recent episode of The Office and still awake at almost 2:00 A.M.  Today my head is fuzzy and aching.  Not fair that I get a hang-over just from staying up too late.</p>
<p>Woke up thie morning at 7:00 A.M.  I putzed around facebook then realized I still needed to frost cupcakes for Hannah&#8217;s party.  Cupcakes looked great and were delivered with the party girl unscathed and on time.  I have a roast in the crockpot for Italian beef that I&#8217;ll take to Dad&#8217;s tomorrow.  Still need to throw together a caramel apple pie, green bean casserole and red beans &#38; rice dish.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m never going to get all this done am I?  Doesn&#8217;t matter&#8230;I&#8217;m leaving regardless.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>It&#8217;s been</strong> quiet around these parts lately, and for good reason: My family and I spent last week in Walt Disney World, and since I&#8217;ve been back I&#8217;ve been playing catch-up. Whaddya know, though, while in Disney I observed something that has some relevance here.</p>
<p><!--more-->Turns out that Disney has a very well-respected college exchange/internship program. Everyone who works at the parks wears a name tag that includes his or her hometown; the college kids have their institutions listed. Like their older counterparts, these younger employees were unfailingly cheery, gracious, and helpful&#8211;terrific representatives of their schools.</p>
<p>And that got me to thinking. University communications professionals aren&#8217;t internship directors, of course, but the more we can direct our students toward organizations with extraordinarily high standards and reputations, the more we can enhance <em>our institutions&#8217;</em> reputations. How&#8217;s that for magic? <strong>&#124; TCF</strong></p>

<description><![CDATA[Vanmorgen hebben we weer een beetje uitgeslapen. We zijn toch wel moe geworden de laatste paar dagen]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Vanmorgen hebben we weer een beetje uitgeslapen. We zijn toch wel moe geworden de laatste paar dagen denk ik. Maar het mag de pret niet drukken. Na een keuze uit de kleine selectie aangekochte kleding kunnen we op pad. Het doel is Magic Kingdom.</p>
<p>Bij binnenkomst blijkt dat het een stuk drukker is als de vorige weken. We hebben alles al een keer gezien dus we lopen rustig door het park en kijken de show rondom de nieuwe Disney animatiefilm, Tiana&#8217;s Showboot Jubilee. Het is een leuke show maar niet heel bijzonder.</p>
<p><a href="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_0384.jpg"><u><font color="#114477"></font></u><img style="border-bottom:0;border-left:0;display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;border-top:0;margin-right:auto;border-right:0;" title="Blog IMG_0384" border="0" alt="Blog IMG_0384" src="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_0384_thumb.jpg?w=320&#038;h=479" width="320" height="479" /></a></p>
<p>We vervolgen onze weg in de richting van Mainstreet waar we een plekje zoeken om de parade te kijken. Ik haal even hotdogs, een Mickey Premium ijsje en te drinken en dan is het al snel tijd voor de parade.</p>
<p><a href="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_0414.jpg"><img style="border-bottom:0;border-left:0;display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;border-top:0;margin-right:auto;border-right:0;" title="Blog IMG_0414" border="0" alt="Blog IMG_0414" src="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_0414_thumb.jpg?w=320&#038;h=411" width="320" height="411" /></a> </p>
<p>De parade is niet heel bijzonder de naam is veranderd en de wagens zijn nog hetzelfe als in 2008. Na de parade lopen we naar Mickey&#8217;s Toontown gelopen maar daar was het veel te druk. Bij Philarmagic is het slechts 10 minuten wachten dus daar stappen we snel binnen. Na de show delen we een Funnel Cake en drinken we Smart Water, zou het werken?</p>
<p><a href="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_0433.jpg"><img style="border-bottom:0;border-left:0;display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;border-top:0;margin-right:auto;border-right:0;" title="Blog IMG_0433" border="0" alt="Blog IMG_0433" src="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_0433_thumb.jpg?w=320&#038;h=213" width="320" height="213" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_0446.jpg"><img style="border-bottom:0;border-left:0;display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;border-top:0;margin-right:auto;border-right:0;" title="Blog IMG_0446" border="0" alt="Blog IMG_0446" src="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_0446_thumb.jpg?w=320&#038;h=479" width="320" height="479" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_0470.jpg"><img style="border-bottom:0;border-left:0;display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;border-top:0;margin-right:auto;border-right:0;" title="Blog IMG_0470" border="0" alt="Blog IMG_0470" src="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_0470_thumb.jpg?w=320&#038;h=431" width="320" height="431" /></a> </p>
<p>Dan zien we donkere wolken en lopen naar Pirates om 30 minuten droog te staan wachten. Na de attractie is het inderdaad gaan regenen en lopen we snel naar de Enchanted Tiki-room. Na een PhotoPass foto lopen we naar het Tomorrowland Terrace Noodle Station voor de Wishes Dessert Party. Deze begint echter later vanwege de verandering van openingstijden van het park en het latere tijdstip waarop Wishes plaats vindt. We lopen daarom nog even het park uit en met de Monorail gaan we naar het Ticket and Transportation Center om onze vesten te pakken. De laatste Spectromagic begint namelijk pas om 11 uur en is het nu al flink frisser geworden door de regen.</p>
<p>Om 8 uur melden we ons voor het dessert buffet en we krijgen een armbandje en een ticket met je seating area, C in ons geval. We zijn benieuwd wat het inhoud maar dat merken we om 9 uur. Na het &#8216;inchecken&#8217; lopen we door het kasteel naar Fantasyland en eten we nog een klein frietje. Het blijkt dan al een stuk rustiger te zijn in het park en we stappen nog naar binnen bij It&#8217;s a Small World.</p>

<p>Dan is het bijna 9 uur en gaan we in de rij staan om het terras op te komen. Stipt om 9 uur loopt de georganiseerde chaos naarbinnen en komen wij erachter dat seating area C de mooiste is. We zitten helemaal vooraan zonder mensen voor ons. Dit is echt een super plek.</p>
<p>We kijken schuin van voren naar het kasteel en wachten tot het buffet iets rustiger wordt. Dan slaan wij onze slag! We hebben keuze uit aardbeien in een laagje pure chocolade, cakejes, mango shooters, tiramisu, fruit en nog veel meer. De aardbeien zijn hier trouwens groter als golfballen en heel erg lekker. Ja we hebben altijd een golfbal bij, <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  We hebben prachtig kunnen filmen en kunnen kijken de camera stond op de railing met de Gorillapod dat is echt een geweldig ding. </p>

<p>Na het filmen hebben we nog even wat verder gedessert en genoten van het daar zijn. Om kwart voor 11 zijn we klaar gaan staan voor de tweede ronde van Spectromagic, de lichtjesparade van Magic Kingdom. We stonden op de hub en Daan heeft mooi kunnen filmen en ik heb een paar fotootjes gemaakt. Na de parade hebben we nog een paar foto’s gemaakt en zijn op het gemak het park uitgelopen in de richting van de Monorail. Dit park zien we denk ik pas weer in mei 2010. </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;">
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://wdwprince.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/solo-asai.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-804" title="solo asai" src="http://wdwprince.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/solo-asai.jpg?w=1024" alt="" width="491" height="326" /></a></p>
<h3><span style="font-weight:normal;font-size:13px;"><span style="color:#003366;"> Day 2</span></span><span style="color:#003366;">.</span></h3>
<h3><span style="color:#003366;">The sun is up and it&#8217;s a new day at WDW. I decide what my agenda will be for the day. I called for an 8:30 am wake up call and I am up early with decisions to make. On my past visits with my partner or friends, I would have been in the gym at the Dolphin Resort first thing in the morning, had breakfast at Fresh Mediterrean then headed out for the parks. Since it&#8217;s just me, I decide to skip the gym and breakfast and get over to Animal Kingdom for opening hour. Bad move? Maybe. When I arrive at Animal Kingdom, there are not many people there.</span></h3>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<div id="attachment_806" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://wdwprince.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/solopastry.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-806" title="solopastry" src="http://wdwprince.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/solopastry.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The kiosk upon entering where I should have had a pastry, no line!</p></div>
<p style="text-align:center;">I am excited to be back in the Animal Kingdom. Immediately I head for my favorite area of the park, Asia. Unfortunately my sense of direction is not keen enough to find Asia without a map. I circle the Tree of Life (is that a personal metaphor?) and I wander pathways for what seems like too long before I finally see the walkway leading into Asia. My favorite area of Animal Kingdom is almost empty. Yak and Yeti is not yet open, the outdoor seating area is empty, the bus that serves refreshments has no line, Kali River Rapids is a walk on, Mount Everest..ALL with little to no people! How great. My camera is in hand and I am ready to take some pictures of these semi-deserted areas.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<div id="attachment_809" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://wdwprince.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/soloyak.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-809" title="soloyak" src="http://wdwprince.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/soloyak.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">A rare sight, Yak and Yeti peaceful.</p></div>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p style="text-align:center;">
<div id="attachment_811" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://wdwprince.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/solobus.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-811" title="solobus" src="http://wdwprince.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/solobus.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Last chance for a snack before Expedition Everest</p></div>
<p style="text-align:center;">But I can not wait any longer. I have to ride Expedition Everest.  There is a small line but it moves quickly through the queue. A great part of the experience of the attraction is the story provided in the amount of detail and objects of the queue. There is evidence of travelers who have never returned. Or will they? There are artifacts of the beast that resides inside of the mountain. Valuables collected on previous treks,canned food and climbing gear, there are many objects which build the story and set the stage for what lies ahead.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<div id="attachment_814" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 209px"><a href="http://wdwprince.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/soloroom.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-814" title="soloroom" src="http://wdwprince.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/soloroom.jpg?w=199" alt="" width="199" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The comforts of a missing person.</p></div>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p>In my excitement to ride Mount Everest, I remember as I approach the ride that I did not yet eat breakfast! Was this a good idea? It&#8217;s early morning. I&#8217;m about to go on a thrill ride on a empty stomach. There is no turning back now. Well there is. I got a fast pass for later before I got on line, but I&#8217;ve come this far. Go for it!</p>
<div id="attachment_816" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://wdwprince.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/solotrain.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-816" title="solotrain" src="http://wdwprince.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/solotrain.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Anticipation for the trek</p></div>
<div id="attachment_818" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://wdwprince.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/solomountain.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-818" title="solomountain" src="http://wdwprince.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/solomountain.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="206" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">No turning back!</p></div>
<p>I am seated next to a boy of who is probably 13 years old. I am feeling hungry and a little nervous about the ride. Maybe  it&#8217;s starting to show. As we approach the ascent the boy asks me if I&#8217;m afraid. I put on a brave face and say, &#8220;No, are you?&#8221; Nervously he says, &#8220;No&#8221; then he blurts out, &#8220;I puked on Big Thunder Mountain.&#8221;  Good to know! I laugh to myself. His mother turns around and shushes him. The train then makes it&#8217;s way to the summit and stops. Then it starts slowly&#8230;to&#8230;plunge backwards&#8230;.aaah&#8230;darkness&#8230;dizziness&#8230;the Yeti.  Quickly we are back in the station.</p>
<div id="attachment_832" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://wdwprince.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/soloyeti1.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-832" title="soloyeti" src="http://wdwprince.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/soloyeti1.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">It&#39;s all a blur.</p></div>
<p>I am feeling dizzy! I can&#8217;t believe it. Don&#8217;t pass out. No. Immediately after the ride everyone is unloaded into the gift shop before exiting. I am so disoriented that I start snapping some pictures to distract myself.</p>
<div id="attachment_829" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://wdwprince.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/solohaze.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-829" title="solohaze" src="http://wdwprince.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/solohaze.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The first picture I took after departing the ride accurately depicts the haze I was seeing.</p></div>
<p>As the blood returns to my head, I smile and quickly decide to eat something. (Tomorrow I will definately have breakfast first thing). The outdoor seating area of Yak and Yeti now has a few guests. As I order a new item from the menu, the Mandarin Chicken Salad, the cashier tells me that I&#8217;ve made a good choice. She tells me that the salad is very good, and it is. I&#8217;m glad to be eating something healthy. Maybe I just made up a little bit  for skipping the gym.</p>
<div id="attachment_820" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://wdwprince.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/solofountain.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-820" title="solofountain" src="http://wdwprince.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/solofountain.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Even the outdoor seating area of Yak and Yeti is nicely themed</p></div>
<p>Within the hour, the park has become extremely crowded and excessively hot. I spend the next five hours exploring parts of the park and attractions that on previous trips I had neglected.  Here&#8217;s where I begin to learn what I hadn&#8217;t learned on previous trips. It is important to pace myself. When I begin to feel hot, tired and slightly claustrophobic, go take a seat at one of the many indoor shows. It is a good way to recuperate. I recommend It&#8217;s Tough To Be A Bug to anyone who hasnt seen it. It is a fun show in 3D with unexpected special effects.  Finding Nemo the musical was very good but honestly I enjoyed the rest and air conditioning most. I will take this lesson with me to the other parks for the remainder of my trip. In the process, I will experience some enjoyable shows (Impressions of France in Epcot) and some that were not so enjoyable for me (Hall of Presidents, sorry fans of that attraction). There is still much of Animal Kingdom that I haven&#8217;t explored and will have to wait until next trip.</p>
<p>After a full day,  it is time for me to leave the crowds of Animal Kingdom and get ready for a new experience. I booked a reservation online for the Spirit of Aloha show at the Polynesian Resort. I am hungry and looking foward to and endless supply of food and an entertaining show. It begins at 5:30pm and I have an hour to get there. Let&#8217;s go.</p>

<p>Stay tuned for Part 2 of Day 2 next. Spirit of Aloha at the Polynesian Resort.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Check out this bad boy, which I purchased today 2nd hand on VHS for 99p ($1.62). <a href="http://ostrichfeathers.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/261517076.jpg"></a>It&#8217;s none other than Disney&#8217;s classic animated movie, The Lion King. With an awesome musical soundtrack by Sir Elton John, Tim Rice and Hans Zimmer. Ideally I&#8217;d have liked the DVD, but with copies online going for upwards of £20 ($32.80), I think it&#8217;s best I stick with the VHS for now. Thanks for reading.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Space Mountain is back open after a nearly six month rennovation where everything from tracks and queues were rehabbed. At one point, the roof was even off  and track was being pulled out and put in. From the video I have seen, the qeues are really cool. You can play video games while waiting  line!</p>
<p>This takes me back to my first trip to <a title="Walt Disney World" href="http://www.themouseexperts.com/Walt_Disney_World_INTO.html">Disney World</a>©. I went with my dad when I was ten. My parents are divorced and it was a special father daughter trip. We had a blast! My dad, still in my mind can do anything, he is a salty sailor and seems to be fearless. So when he said “let’s go on Space Mountain”, I wanted to show him I was too. But the whole time in line, I was scared to death! Keeping in mind this was the early 80s, there were no fast passes and no interactive queues, so you looked at what they had on display and made small talk while waiting in a very long line. Close to the end of the line I had to go to the bathroom so badly, I nearly had an accident but refused to tell my dad and get out of line. We rode the ride, I got off and looked at him and instantly realized, I had found the thing my dad did not like, coasters… But he did it for me as he did not want to disappoint me, thinking I wanted to ride it. He says now he was waiting for me to chicken out.  I remember that day like it was almost yesterday. It wasn’t my favorite thing I had done and I wasn’t running to go back and get in line but I had conquered a fear and was proud I did it. Now, throw me on it, I am fine but I will always remember that fear in my stomach and the thrill of riding it first with my dad. That trip was full of memories and to think 28 years later, we have a business that started with a love for a place that first came into my life on that day I conquered Space Mountain.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I am a blubbering mess.  Currently listening to the music of Walt Disney World at <a title="Magical Mouse Radio" href="http://www.live365.com/cgi-bin/mini.cgi?station_name=beourguestmike&#38;tm=1925&#38;from=rma" target="_blank">Magical Mouse Radio</a> and envisioning possible upcoming vacation moments.  Seeing my family all together in the sunshine, without the stress, smelling the smells, hearing the sounds, breathing the air and walking the walk&#8230;gets me teary-eyed.  OH!  Don&#8217;t forget the FOOD!!  And the shopping!  Hard to believe the Magic is only days away now!</p>
<p>While I&#8217;ve decided it will be okay if the house isn&#8217;t spotless when I leave, there are certain areas that must be taken care of before we head south.  The dog has had his bath.  He&#8217;ll be staying with my dad and my canine siblings.  The guinea pig cages have been cleaned and plenty of hay and alfalfa have been purchased.  My niece and nephew from 2 blocks down, will come to tend to my little cavies.</p>
<p>The dishes were done&#8230;and I&#8217;m doing them again now (sort of).  Pretty sure I&#8217;ll have to do them again at least once more.  Two of three bathrooms have been cleaned and trash has been taken out.  I really wish I had time to put up Christmas lights, decorate the tree and paint my family room.  There&#8217;s also the Walt Disney World map project that I want to finish.</p>
<p>Always so much to do in daily life.  So many appointments to remember, errands to run, chores to complete, kids to feed and all those nasty bills to pay.  &#8230;but in a few days, I will be in a perfect World.  For one week, I&#8217;ll be immersed in total perfect magic&#8230;MY without-a-care-in-the-world World&#8230;where Disney can take care of me.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>De laatste dagen van onze vakantie zijn – helaas – aangebroken. We hebben nog een paar dingen op de planning staan, waaronder: een afspraak van Sander met WDI en iemand van Siemens U.S.A. om backstage te gaan bij Toy Story Mania, Wishes Dessert Party, het vieren van Thanksgiving.</p>
<p>Daarom hebben we het vandaag wat rustiger gedaan. We hadden wel de wekker gezet, maar we waren beide nog zo moe toen hij ging, dat we besloten het gewoon rustig aan te doen. Na op het gemak wakker te zijn geworden en gedoucht te hebben zijn we in de auto gestapt en ben ik (Danielle) naar de trollbeads-winkel (Beads at Metrowest) gereden. Sander had namelijk gezegd dat als ik zelf zou rijden ik nog een paar beads zou mogen uitkiezen. Dus ben ik achter het stuur gekropen en kon Sander om zich heen kijken vanaf de bij-rijders-stoel. Bij de winkel aangekomen – waar ik die grote bak netjes heb kunnen parkeren – heb ik twee zilveren beads uitkozen en nog een zilveren “stopper”. </p>
<p>Hierna gingen we kijken waar we iets zouden gaan eten ontbijt/lunch. Deze keer kozen we voor Firehouse Subs, een sandwich-zaak à là Subway, maar dan naar mijn mening toch wel een stukje beter. De broodjes worden vers klaargemaakt en zijn echt heerlijk. </p>
<p><a href="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_0346.jpg"><u><font color="#114477"></font></u><img style="border-bottom:0;border-left:0;display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;border-top:0;margin-right:auto;border-right:0;" title="Blog IMG_0346" border="0" alt="Blog IMG_0346" src="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_0346_thumb.jpg?w=320&#038;h=479" width="320" height="479" /></a></p>
<p>Hierna vervolgen we onze weg naar de Pr1me Outlet. We willen nog een extra koffer kopen voor de terugweg en hopen daar in de Pr1me Outlets voor te slagen. Uiteindelijk komen we met wel wat meer dan alleen een koffer terug. We konden niet bij de Tommy Hilfiger winkel voorbij lopen, dus hier weer het nodige aangekocht:</p>
<p>- 2 Polo’s (Sander)</p>
<p>- 2 Polo’s (Danielle)</p>
<p>- 1 zwarte korte broek (Sander)</p>
<p>- 1 riem (Sander)</p>
<p><a href="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_0354.jpg"><img style="border-bottom:0;border-left:0;display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;border-top:0;margin-right:auto;border-right:0;" title="Blog IMG_0354" border="0" alt="Blog IMG_0354" src="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_0354_thumb.jpg?w=340&#038;h=200" width="340" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>Uiteindelijk heb ik dan ook besloten de Uggs die ik heel graag wilde hebben te kopen. Bij Journeys hebben ze mijn favoriete kleur en ook nog eens mijn maat. Het zijn grijze gebreide Uggs die je zowel als hoge laars als als lage laars met een omslag kunt dragen. Ik ben er ontzettend blij mee. We vragen in de winkel nog of er nou veel locals zijn die hier Uggs kopen (aangezien het toch altijd lekker weer is) en de verkoopster antwoordt daarop dat ze zelf niet uit Florida komt (maar uit Georgia) en dat ze er wel van staat te kijken dat mensen met 25 graden gewoon op Uggs lopen en doen alsof het echt hartje winter is. Ongelofelijk dus. </p>
<p><a href="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_0364.jpg"><img style="border-bottom:0;border-left:0;display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;border-top:0;margin-right:auto;border-right:0;" title="Blog IMG_0364" border="0" alt="Blog IMG_0364" src="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_0364_thumb.jpg?w=320&#038;h=213" width="320" height="213" /></a>&#160;<a href="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_0365.jpg"><img style="border-bottom:0;border-left:0;display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;border-top:0;margin-right:auto;border-right:0;" title="Blog IMG_0365" border="0" alt="Blog IMG_0365" src="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_0365_thumb.jpg?w=320&#038;h=479" width="320" height="479" /></a></p>
<p>Een koffer – waarvoor we toch eigenlijk naar deze outlet zijn gereden – hebben we ook gevonden en wel bij Wilson’s Leather. De koffer was al flink afgeprijs en je kreeg daar nog eens 20% korting bovenop, een koopje dus.</p>
<p>Voldaan verlaten we de outlet en rijden we terug naar ons hotel. Het loopt al tegen het einde van de middag en Sander heeft ´s avonds nog een afspraak met een collega van hem van Siemens U.S.A. Daarvoor wil hij nog wat rusten want hij merkte vandaag toch wel dat hij niet meer helemaal fit was. Dus op de hotelkamer rusten we wat uit, internetten een beetje en kijken tv. Rond een uurtje of 7 gaan we eten bij de Chick-Fil-A en gaan voor een toetje naar de Starbucks aan de overkant. Dit is een hele luxe Starbucks met een groot lounge-terras buiten. Het is er heerlijk genieten. </p>
<p>Rond 20:00 uur krijgt Sander een telefoontje van zijn Siemens-collega en om 20:30 uur wordt hij door hem opgehaald bij ons hotel. </p>
<p>Inmiddels ben ik weer terug het heeft tot 1 uur geduurd en ik heb rondgelopen met een Disney Engineer en mijn Siemens collega. Ik ben backstage geweest bij Toy Story Mania heb er onder een wagen gestaan en de technishce ruimtes bekeken. Daarna zijn we naar Epcot vertrokken waar ik een rondje door Universe of Energy heb gelopen en de wagens open heb gezien. Verder hebben we nog gesproken over de toekomst van de verschillende Disney Resorts, Disney Vacations Clubs en Disney Cruise schepen in de wereld.&#160; Het was heel bijzonder en ik heb veel dingen gezien en gehoord die ik hier niet kan beschrijven. </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Excitement is growing.  Euphoria is beginning to take effect.  I&#8217;ll be on vacation after only three more sleeps!  Arrive in Walt Disney World in 6 more days!!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m trying to ignore all the usual worries.  &#8220;Dread&#8221; tries to partner &#8220;excitement&#8221; in the vacation anticipation.  It refuses to be ignored.  Please let nothing go wrong on our long drive.  Please let all of us get along and please keep us all healthy.  I&#8217;ll add pleas as they come to mind.  Thank you and Amen.</p>
<p><a href="http://s267.photobucket.com/albums/ii300/LAdania01/BloggerMom/?action=view&#38;current=100_5875.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii300/LAdania01/BloggerMom/100_5875.jpg" border="0" alt="vacation planning" /></a></p>
<p>We&#8217;re watching our favorite vacation planning DVD&#8211;Happiest Celebration on Earth.  I&#8217;m leaning towards ignoring my usual demand of a spotless house at departure.  I love to come home to a clean house, but this time, I just don&#8217;t care.  While I&#8217;d still love to be welcomed by a spotless abode, I don&#8217;t want to get stressed over preparing, packing and Thanksgiving.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to look for a chant to ward off dread and a cheerleader to keep me on the excited side.  My nerves are starting to get&#8230;well, nervous.</p>

<description><![CDATA[There are some things going on at the  Walt Disney World Resort  in November that you need to know a]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>There are some things going on at the  <strong>Walt Disney World Resort </strong> in November that you need to know about:                                                                                                           </p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#ff6600;">Crowd Warnings: </span></strong></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Jersey Week</strong> – The New Jersey Public schools all have November 5<sup>th</sup> &#38; 6<sup>th</sup> off for teacher-in-service days.   This has a huge impact on attendance during the first week of November as thousands of families take the opportunity to take a few extra days and head to Disneyworld.  Expect moderately high crowds for the whole first week of November.</li>
<li><strong>Thanksgiving Week </strong>– “Holiday Season” is even more crowded than “Peak Season” so expect very high crowd levels November 21<sup>st</sup> – 28<sup>th</sup>.   Heavy crowds can be fun because Disney extends park hours and adds extra show times but you’ll need a good touring plan to help you avoid horrible lines.</li>
<li><strong>Pop Warner National Football, Dance &#38; Cheer Events at Walt Disney World &#8211; November 30 – December 12.</strong> These events take place at <strong>Disney’s Wide World of Sports</strong> and the events themselves won’t affect you but you may encounter groups of young athletes (and their families) in your resort and – during their spare time – in the theme parks.<strong></strong></li>
<li><strong>Fantasmic</strong>!<strong> (Disney’s Hollywood Studios) –</strong>This great show is no longer presented every night.  It will be offered November 1, 2, 5, 8, 10, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 22, 25, 26, 27, 29, 30 .  This is a very popular show and we highly recommend it – arrive 60-90 minutes early, if you do not have a <strong>Fantasmic! Dinner package</strong>.  Disney may add a second, later performance on certain evenings during the busiest times – if they do, the later showing of Fantasmic! will always be less crowded than the earlier one   <strong>Warning: </strong>When there are limited performances, you know <strong>Disney’s Hollywood Studios</strong> is going to be busier on days featuring a <strong>Fantasmic!</strong> show.  Afternoons will be especially busy as those with Park Hopper tickets come over to see the show.  A good touring plan will help you manage this.   <strong>Warning:</strong>  This show  is excellent but it does feature villains for a good 8-10 minutes.  The scene is fairly intense and can be frightening to small children.</li>
<li><strong>SpectroMagic Parade (Magic Kingdom)</strong> – This wonderful nighttime parade is not offered every night and the Magic Kingdom will be more crowded on days featuring a SpectroMagic Parade.   The SpectroMagic Parade will be presented on November 2, 5, 7, 8, 11, 14, 16, 18, 21, 22,  23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 3o.    If Disney offers a second evening parade, the later parade will be less crowded than the earlier.</li>
<li>Avoid going to the <strong>Magic Kingdom </strong>and <strong>Epcot</strong> on Thanksgiving Day.   There is a good chance that the park could close because of capacity level crowds and the lines will be horrible.  <strong>Disney’s Hollywood Studios</strong> &#38;  <strong>Disney’s Animal Kingdom</strong> theme parks are much better choices for Thanksgiving Day.</li>
<li><strong>Extra Magic Hours</strong> – (Special hours only available to Disney resort hotel guest) We recommend that <span style="text-decoration:underline;">everyone</span> avoid the <strong>Extra Magic Hour</strong> park(s) of the day.   Disney has 33,000 hotel rooms and no one goes to Disney alone – that means too many people are pointed in the same direction at the same time. You’ll have a much nicer time by going to a less busy park.  This is doubly important if you are not staying at a Disney resort – you don’t want to get to the theme park and find a bunch of Disney guests in line in front of you. </li>
<li><strong><em>A good touring plan will keep you ahead of the crowds and out of the long lines.</em></strong>   We provide three choices for custom touring plans – our <strong>Custom Touring Plans</strong>, the <strong>2009 Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World </strong>(book), or a subscription to <strong>Tour Guide Mike</strong> (online service) – at  no charge to you when you book your trip through <strong>Build A Better Mouse Trip</strong>.  For more information, see: <a href="http://www.buildabettermousetrip.com/freetouringplans.php">http://www.buildabettermousetrip.com/freetouringplans.php</a></li>
</ol>
<p><strong><span style="color:#ff6600;">Special Events:</span></strong></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party (Disney’s Magic Kingdom)- 7:00PM to Midnight –</strong> <strong>November 10, 12,  13, 15, 17, 19, 20, 29</strong>.  This special event is a lot of fun for families, with rides, a parade, shows, and fun party type events.   These nights require a special event ticket ($49 &#8211; $63  per person, depending on age and date) – you cannot enter using your Magic Your Way or Park Hopper tickets.  Ticket prices vary with an advance purchase discount offered on select nights. There are a limited number of tickets sold for each party <strong>Warning:</strong>  <strong>The Magic Kingdom</strong> will close to the public at 7:00PM on party nights.  Magic Kingdom resort area restaurants (Chef Mickey’s, 1900 Park Fare, Whispering Canyon, etc.) will fill their reservations early as people look for something nearby to enjoy after the early park closing.  Contact us today to purchase your party tickets. </li>
<li><strong>Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancng  Lights  (Disney’s Hollywood Studios) – November 10, 2009 – January 4, 2010.  </strong>This is an incredible holiday light display beginning around dusk.   Every 15 minutes, the display will glow and dim to correspond with the holiday music.  It is quite a sight!  No extra ticket needed – included with your park admission.<strong></strong></li>
<li><strong>Holidays Around the World. (Epcot) – November 27 – December 30<sup>th</sup>. </strong>The <strong>World Showcase</strong> pavilions will each feature a special holiday storyteller that tells about Christmas (or other holiday) festivities in that country.  No extra ticket needed – included with your park admission.  Check your Epcot times guide.<strong></strong></li>
<li><strong>Candlelight Processional (Epcot) – November 27 – December 30<sup>th</sup>.  Nightly:  5:00, 6:45, &#38; 8:00PM. </strong>  A large choir, orchestra, and celebrity narrators retell the Christmas Story in the <strong>America Gardens Theatre</strong>.  This beautiful production is extremely popular and fills to capacity.  People sometimes line up hours early.  <strong>TIP:</strong> Arrive at least 45 minutes early for the 5:00PM performance for your best chance to get in with a minimum wait.   <strong>TIP:</strong> <strong>Candlelight Processional Lunch/Dinner Packages</strong> eliminate long waits.  You have several restaurant choices and you’ll receive a voucher that guarantees seating at the Candlelight Processional.  These packages aren’t cheap but a nice meal and the wonderful Candlelight Processional are certainly a special occasion worth celebrating.  The <strong>Candlelight Processional Dinner Packages</strong> are included in the <strong>Disney Dining Plan</strong> but will take two table-service meal credits per person.  Call 407-WDW-DINE to check availability and to make reservations. </li>

</ul>
<p>At <strong><a title="Build A Better Mouse Trip Travel Agency " href="http://www.buildabettermousetrip.com">Build A Better Mouse Trip</a></strong>, we are convinced that everyone can benefit with good touring plans.   During busy times, a good plan will absolutely keep you ahead of the crowds and out of the lines – our clients typically wait less than 20 minutes for rides, even thrill rides and headliners.   During less crowded times, a good plan factors in shorter park hours and fewer performance times.    But the most important benefit of a good plan is that everyone gets to ride and see the things that they are looking forward to because everyone’s priorities are included in a plan that tours the parks efficiently and effectively.  For more information see: <a href="http://www.buildabettermousetrip.com/freetouringplans.htm">http://www.buildabettermousetrip.com/freetouringplans.htm</a></p>
<p>You can purchase custom planning services from us <strong>but most of our clients get them for free</strong>.  We accept Disney and other hotel commissions as payment for our planning services. If you&#8217;ve already booked your own reservation, it may be possible to have our name added as the agent of record.  Your rate, confirmation, and benefits all stay exactly the same.  In this situation, Disney just pays us the commission they would&#8217;ve kept for themselves.  Then &#8211; free to you &#8211; we provide you with custom touring plans that let you enjoy more attractions with less lines.</p>
<p>If you have questions or are interested in our services:</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Vanmorgen hebben we geslapen tot na 10 uur. Heerlijk en daarna hebben we nog lang op bed liggen internetten en met de iPhone gespeeld. Heerlijk even relaxen naar een paar lange dagen. </p>
<p>In de middag zijn we dan op pad gegaan naar Animal Kingdom waar we met heel veel characters op de foto zijn gegaan in Camp Mickey daar stonden namelijk Mickey, Minnie, Goofy en Donald en de Character Trails. Ook hebben we nog even bij the Good Time Gathering Spot gekeken naar Thumper (Stampertje) en zijn vriendinnetje maar daar mocht niemand mee op de foto, beetje vreemd liep dat daar wel. Iedereen met camera werd weg gehouden van de characters. </p>

<p>Na de fotosessies zijn we pizza en caeser salad gaan eten bij Pizzafari. Het was weer eens wat anders als een bacon cheeseburger menu en het was erg lekker. We bezoeken dan It’s Tohough to be a Bug een leuke 3D belevenis. Hierna was het tijd voor de Jammin’ Jungle Parade de hoofdreden om naar Animal Kingdom te gaan. We baalden een beetje van vanaf vrijdag als wij op het vliegveld staan is de kerstversie van deze parade er officieel. Maar al snel bleek dat de parade nu al was omgetoverd. Misschien niet helemaal compleet maar dat is voor ons lastig beoordelen het zag er in ieder geval kerst uit. </p>
<p><a href="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_0262.jpg"><img style="border-bottom:0;border-left:0;display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;border-top:0;margin-right:auto;border-right:0;" title="Blog IMG_0262" border="0" alt="Blog IMG_0262" src="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_0262_thumb.jpg?w=320&#038;h=479" width="320" height="479" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_0264.jpg"><img style="border-bottom:0;border-left:0;display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;border-top:0;margin-right:auto;border-right:0;" title="Blog IMG_0264" border="0" alt="Blog IMG_0264" src="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_0264_thumb.jpg?w=320&#038;h=479" width="320" height="479" /></a> </p>
<p>Na de parade zijn we nog naar Rafiki’s Planet Watch gegaan met de trein voor een foto met Rafiki en Jiminy Cricket. Wel jammer dat hier geen PhotoPass fotografen zijn. Hierna zijn we naar de auto gegaan om naar Epcot te vertrekken want dit is een van de laatste avonden dat we tijd hebben om Illuminations: Reflections of earth te zien. Als we bij de auto aankomen begint het te regenen en bij Epcot aangekomen regent het flink door. Na even wachten wagen we het erop en we komen vrij droog bij de ingang aan. </p>
<p><a href="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_0322.jpg"><u><font color="#114477"></font></u><img style="border-bottom:0;border-left:0;display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;border-top:0;margin-right:auto;border-right:0;" title="Blog IMG_0322" border="0" alt="Blog IMG_0322" src="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_0322_thumb.jpg?w=320&#038;h=213" width="320" height="213" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_0332.jpg"><img style="border-bottom:0;border-left:0;display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;border-top:0;margin-right:auto;border-right:0;" title="Blog IMG_0332" border="0" alt="Blog IMG_0332" src="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_0332_thumb.jpg?w=320&#038;h=479" width="320" height="479" /></a>&#160;<a href="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_0335.jpg"><img style="border-bottom:0;border-left:0;display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;border-top:0;margin-right:auto;border-right:0;" title="Blog IMG_0335" border="0" alt="Blog IMG_0335" src="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_0335_thumb.jpg?w=320&#038;h=479" width="320" height="479" /></a></p>
<p>We stappen gelijk Spaceship Earth binnen waar geen wachtrij was en in Project Tomorrow sturen we het zelf gemaakte filmpje nog even via de mail op. Dan is het droog en lopen we naar de Character Spot maar daar staat een lange rij dus dat doen we later nog wel. We besluiten dan een rondje World Showcase te doen en onderweg gaan we op de foto met Pooh en Tiger en eten we een Chocolate Chip Cookie in Amerika, drinken we een Spaten Oktoberfest Bier in Duitsland (met Pretzel) en nemen we een Eggrol (Loempia) un China. Dan lopen we door naar Character Spot waar het nog steeds druk is hiervoor komen we een andere keer wel terug. </p>
<p><a href="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_0339.jpg"><img style="border-bottom:0;border-left:0;display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;border-top:0;margin-right:auto;border-right:0;" title="Blog IMG_0339" border="0" alt="Blog IMG_0339" src="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_0339_thumb.jpg?w=320&#038;h=213" width="320" height="213" /></a></p>
<p>Dan maken we nog een filmpje van de Fountain of Nations die elke 15 minuten een show heeft op het ritme van de muziek, hier hebben we al een paar keer naar staan kijken. Na dit filmpje is het tijd om een plekje op te zoeken om Illuminations te bekijken. We vinden een plekje op een brug voor Italie waar ik de camera met het Gorillapod statief heel mooi kan wegzetten om een niet te shakerig te filmen. De wind hebben we in de rug en dit is echt de allermooiste plek om de show te zien. Echt een prachtige plek. </p>
<p>Hierna vertrekken we in de richting van een Publix om wat rond te kijken en nog wat dingen zoals pure M&#38;M’s, Rootbeer (niet zo lekker), meloen, apple pie, chocolade melk en orange juice te kopen. En we hebben gelijk onze dorstige terreinwagen weer te drinken gegeven. </p>
<p>Danielle is inmiddels in slaap gevallen het is inmiddels ook al bijna 12 uur. </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot about traveling lately and and it&#8217;d be great to visit places that I&#8217;ve longed to go to ever since I was a kid. As has been the trend in my past few posts here&#8217;s  list of places that I&#8217;d like to visit one day in the U.S. of A.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<div id="attachment_1545" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 502px"><a href="http://wengyuen.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/universalstudios.jpeg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1545" title="Universal Studios" src="http://wengyuen.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/universalstudios.jpeg" alt="Universal Studios" width="492" height="446" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Universal Studios</p></div>
<p><strong>#1 &#8211; Universal Studios, Los Angeles.</strong> Yeah, yeah &#8230; Hollywood included as well. I&#8217;ve seen L.A. so much on TV and in movies but it&#8217;d be pretty cool to see it for myself. I don&#8217;t even know where to start cos&#8217; the city sprawls so I guess I&#8217;ll start with Universal Studios then figure out where else to go to in L.A. once I really am going.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<div id="attachment_1546" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 344px"><a href="http://wengyuen.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/grand-canyon.jpeg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1546" title="The Grand Canyon" src="http://wengyuen.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/grand-canyon.jpeg" alt="The Grand Canyon" width="334" height="500" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Grand Canyon</p></div>
<p><strong>#2 &#8211; The Grand Canyon, Arizona.</strong> I&#8217;m not really a nature person but being to take a drive all over the States with a stop at the Grand Canyon seems perfect for some reason. I&#8217;m a city-boy I guess but I don&#8217;t mind the outdoors in short bursts. So a road-trip of sorts seems cool. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<div id="attachment_1547" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 610px"><a href="http://wengyuen.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/boston.jpeg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1547" title="Boston" src="http://wengyuen.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/boston.jpeg" alt="Boston" width="600" height="450" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Boston</p></div>
<p>#<strong>3 &#8211; Boston, Massachusetts</strong> cos&#8217; I&#8217;ve got family there and it&#8217;s really beautiful there in the fall.</p>
<div id="attachment_1548" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 458px"><a href="http://wengyuen.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/disneyworld.jpeg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1548" title="Disney World in Orlando, Florida" src="http://wengyuen.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/disneyworld.jpeg" alt="Disney World in Orlando, Florida" width="448" height="336" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Disney World in Orlando, Florida</p></div>
<p>#<strong>4 &#8211; Walt Disney World, Florida.</strong> Why? Cos&#8217; it&#8217;s Disneyworld!</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<div id="attachment_1550" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://wengyuen.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/newyork1.jpeg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1550" title="New York City" src="http://wengyuen.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/newyork1.jpeg" alt="New York City" width="300" height="400" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">New York City</p></div>
<p><strong>#5 &#8211; New York City.</strong> No particular reason why except that I wanna see what a city of that size &#38; bustle would be like.</p>
<p>And there you have it. The top 5 places I&#8217;d like to visit in the States one day. I hope I&#8217;ll get to go to these places soon but travel is expensive and the Malaysian Ringgit isn&#8217;t that great. *sighs* Oh well, it&#8217;d happen one day. I know it! <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Deze morgen zijn we vroeg op gang gekomen omdat we graag SeaWorld wilden doen. Vanuit het hotel zijn we gelijk naar SeaWorld gereden waar de parkeerplaats om 10 uur nog erg leeg was. </p>
<p><img style="border-bottom:0;border-left:0;display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;border-top:0;margin-right:auto;border-right:0;" title="Blog IMG_9696" border="0" alt="Blog IMG_9696" src="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_9696_thumb.jpg?w=320&#038;h=213" width="320" height="213" /></p>
<p><a href="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_9811.jpg"><img style="border-bottom:0;border-left:0;display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;border-top:0;margin-right:auto;border-right:0;" title="Blog IMG_9811" border="0" alt="Blog IMG_9811" src="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_9811_thumb.jpg?w=320&#038;h=479" width="320" height="479" /></a></p>
<p>We waren al snel binnen en we liepen gelijk tegen het hoofddoel van de morgen aan, de nieuwe Rollercoaster. Dit is de Manta, dat is een coaster waar je in hangende stoeltjes zit die achterover kantelen. Je kijkt dan naar de grond en zo zweef je rond. De coaster is echt geweldig en de wachtrij is ook prachtig al staan we daar niet lang we kunnen namelijk in 1 keer doorlopen. We doen hem gelijk een tweede keer en dan front row. Echt geweldig. </p>
<p><a href="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_9808.jpg"><img style="border-bottom:0;border-left:0;display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;border-top:0;margin-right:auto;border-right:0;" title="Blog IMG_9808" border="0" alt="Blog IMG_9808" src="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_9808_thumb.jpg?w=320&#038;h=214" width="320" height="214" /></a></p>
<p>Na de Manta lopen we naar de Kraken die doen we 1 keer en ook op de eerste rij, dat is het mooiste. Wederom een geweldige coaster. Na de Kraken is het tijd om nat te worden in de Atalantis een darkride, waterbaan en coaster in een. Hierna halen we de tas ui het kluisje en maken we wat foto’s.</p>
<p><a href="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_9790.jpg"><img style="border-bottom:0;border-left:0;display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;border-top:0;margin-right:auto;border-right:0;" title="Blog IMG_9790" border="0" alt="Blog IMG_9790" src="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_9790_thumb.jpg?w=320&#038;h=213" width="320" height="213" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_9799.jpg"><img style="border-bottom:0;border-left:0;display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;border-top:0;margin-right:auto;border-right:0;" title="Blog IMG_9799" border="0" alt="Blog IMG_9799" src="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_9799_thumb.jpg?w=320&#038;h=213" width="320" height="213" /></a></p>
<p>Na de foto’s is het het tijd voor The Polar Express een simulatie attractie in het thema van de gelijknamige film. Een beetje een tegenvallende attractie zeker omdat het één van de publiekstrekkers voor de kerstavonden moet zijn. Na deze tegenvaller is het tijd voor de Shamu Killerwhale show, Believe. Deze is echt geweldig maar gaat bijna niet door. Het dominante vrouwtje blijkt er geen zin in te hebben. Maar na 5 minuten is het probleemopgelost en start de show voor de tweede keer. </p>
<p><a href="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_9743.jpg"><img style="border-bottom:0;border-left:0;display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;border-top:0;margin-right:auto;border-right:0;" title="Blog IMG_9743" border="0" alt="Blog IMG_9743" src="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_9743_thumb.jpg?w=320&#038;h=213" width="320" height="213" /></a></p>
<p>Al fotomakend lopen we naar de uitgang om de auto op te zoeken. We gaan dan nog even langs de Pr1me outlet. We beginnen met een Starbucks, dat wilden we als sinds onze aankomst doen maar bij elke Starbucks stond een rij van een man of 20. Nu eindelijk een rustige gevonden en daar hebben we genoten van de traktatie van Philippe en Dieter, dank jullie wel. Bij de Pr1me stranden we weer eens bij de Tommy Hilfiger winkel waar we het volgende kopen: </p>
<ul>
<li>4 Polo’s (Sander) </li>
<li>4 Polo’s (Danielle) </li>
<li>1 Trui (Danielle) </li>
</ul>
<p>Na het shoppen rijden we naar het hotel om eventjes uit te rusten, we hebben namelijk nog een lange avond voor de boeg. Helaas loopt dit een beetje anders. </p>
<p>De WC is kapot en stroomt over waardoor de hele badkamer blank staat. Na het repareren van het toilet blijkt echter dat de hotelkamer muren niet waterdicht zijn en dat het tapijt in het slaapgedeelte helemaal doorweekt is geraakt. We bellen met de receptie en zeggen dat we hier niet gelukkig mee zijn. We krijgen dan een andere kamer met Wireless internet in plaats van wired en voor de rest is de kamer vergelijkbaar. Behalve dan dat hij gespiegeld is en dat het geen gehandicapten faciliteiten meer heeft. Die hebben wij gelukkig niet nodig dus dat is geen probleem. </p>
<p>Dit alles heeft veel tijd gekost en van uitrusten is geen sprake meer. We gaan snel naar de auto en om 18:30 zijn we bij de monorail bij het Ticket &#38; Transportation Center om naar Magic Kingdom te vertrekken voor de Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. Nog voor 19:00 zijn we in het park waar we een armbandje omkrijgen. We lopen eerst naar Frontierland voor het Country Bears Jamboree. Bij het naar buiten gaan eten we een hamburgermenu. </p>
<p>Eenmaal uitgegeten lopen we naar Adventureland voor Pirates of the Carribean. Hierna is het tijd voor de Mickey’s once upon a Christmastime parade en die bekijken we vanuit Frontierland. Wat ene prachtige parade en lang ook. Dit kan Disney wel. Na de parade lopen we rustig door het park en is het tijd voor de gratis warme chocolade melk met een cookie, geweldig idee met nog ruim 20 graden. Dan is het al snel 9:30, de tijd waarop Holliday Wishes: Celebrate the spirit of the season komt. Dit is echt heel mooi en er wordt ongeloofelijk veel vuurwerk gebruikt. Dit vuurwerk komt op nummer twee na het vuurwerk van de Pirates and Princess party in 2008. </p>

<p>Na het vuurwerk is het tijd voor de tweede parade die we wederom bekijken uit Frontierland maar nu op een beter verlichte plek met een Mickey Wafel. De parade is geweldig, Daan is helemaal fan van de soldaatjes een heuze fanfare gevolgd door een gorep marcherende soldaten. </p>

<p>Na de parade lopen we door Fantasyland en scoren we een characterfoto met Donald in winteroutfit. We zijn de tijd een beetje uit het oof verloren want het is 23:19 en over 1 minuut begint een de Celebrate the Seasonshow. Een leuke show met veel dansers en characters in prachtige kerstoutfits. Hierna wil ik nog even in Space Mountain die open is ondanks dat deze officieel pas de 22ste opent na een grote opknapbeurt. Hij is leuker als voor de opknapbeurt maar het wordt nooit mijn favoriete achtbaan. De wagenstjes zitten wel lekker door de zacht beklede stoelen. </p>
<p><a href="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_9917.jpg"><img style="border-bottom:0;border-left:0;display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;border-top:0;margin-right:auto;border-right:0;" title="Blog IMG_9917" border="0" alt="Blog IMG_9917" src="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/blogimg_9917_thumb.jpg?w=320&#038;h=213" width="320" height="213" /></a></p>
<p>Na Space mountain is het fototijd. Ik schiet wat foto’s van het kasteel en Danielle zit rustig op een bankje te wachten. Bij het naar buitenlopen passeren we nog een aantal PhotoPass fotografen waar we nog foto’s maken. Wij hebben dit jaar een vrij volle PhotoPass denk ik zo maar. </p>
<p><a href="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/bewerktimg_9920copy.jpg"><img style="border-bottom:0;border-left:0;display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;border-top:0;margin-right:auto;border-right:0;" title="Bewerkt IMG_9920 copy" border="0" alt="Bewerkt IMG_9920 copy" src="http://sandaan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/bewerktimg_9920copy_thumb.jpg?w=320&#038;h=349" width="320" height="349" /></a></p>
<p>Dan is het op naar de auto en naar het hotel. Voor Daan duurt het net iets te lang die valt onderweg al in slaap ondanks dat het maar 10 minuutjes autorijden is. We hebben weer een geweldige avond gehad en we zouden zo nog een keer willen gaan. </p>

<h2>La vuelta al mundo en cinco parques de atracciones</h2>
<p><strong>PARA LOS PEQUEÑOS Y LOS QUE NO LO SON TANTO</strong></p>
<p>Qué.es, 19 de noviembre de 2009.</p>
<ul>
<li>Legolandia, Parques Disney, Parque Xcaret, Parque Tivoli y Parque Warner componen la ruta mágica mundial de los parques de atracciones.</li>
</ul>
<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.que.es/archivos/200911/legoland_n-301xXx80.gif" alt="" width="301" height="225" />Tanto los más mayores como los más pequeños hemos pasado alguna vez un día a lo grande en un parque de atracciones. Si quieres volver a disfrutar de los mejores espectáculos y sentir la emoción en las mayores montañas rusas del mundo, toma nota porque  <a href="http://www.easyviajar.com/" target="_blank">Easyviajar.com</a> te invita a conocer los mejores parques de atracciones.</p>
<h4>LEGOLANDIA</h4>
<p>Como su propio nombre indica, se trata del parque de atracciones del conocidísimo juego Lego. Tras atravesar las puertas del parque protagonizado por los célebres bloques de plástico de colores, encontramos enormes figuras de Lego formando ciudades, montañas o playas: todo un paraíso para los amantes de este sencillo pero divertido juego con el que todos hemos crecido. Existen cuatro parques de Lego en el mund tres en Europa (Dinamarca, Reino Unido y Alemania) y uno en América (California). Te proponemos una escapada de tres días a Londres desde<a href="http://www.easyviajar.com/viajes/produit.jsp?idProduit=496099" target="_blank"> 221 euros</a> que te permitirá conocer el parque de Legolandia de Windsor.</p>
<h4>PARQUES DISNEY</h4>
<p>Famosos a la par que llenos de &#8216;ilusión&#8217;, los parques temáticos de Disney son los más soñados por pequeños y mayores, y los que reciben mayor número de visitas a nivel mundial. El encanto de las historias y personajes de Disney invade a sus visitantes desde la llegada al recinto. Sentirse como una auténtica princesa en el castillo encantado de &#8216;Blancanieves&#8217; o perderse por el laberinto de &#8216;Alicia en el País de las Maravillas&#8217; son algunos de los sueños que se pueden ver cumplidos en estos parques llenos de magia.</p>
<p>Tampoco hay que dejar de ver los espectáculos que se celebran diariamente para sentirse por unos instantes protagonista de las películas más emblemáticas de Disney. Conocer a Mickey, Pluto y toda la familia Disney en cualquiera de los parques repartidos por todo el mundo es otro de los atractivos. Encontrarás la magia de Disney en Hong Kong, París, California, Tokyo y Orlando. Te proponemos un circuito por Japón de ocho días de duración, con visita a Tokyo, a partir de <a href="http://www.easyviajar.com/viajes/produit.jsp?idProduit=495963" target="_blank">1.740 euros.</a></p>
<p>Esta ciudad japonesa, además de contar con un parque Disney World, alberga el novedoso Disney Sea. Se trata de un parque en el que podrás conocer a los personajes Disney en divertidas atracciones acuáticas. No podemos hablar de los parques Disney sin citar el magnífico parque de la compañía en Orlando. Se trata del mayor de Disney; una auténtica ciudad llena de magia en la que perderse será toda una aventura. Desde<a href="http://www.easyviajar.com/viajes/produit.jsp?idProduit=72223" target="_blank"> 1.202 euros </a>puedes escaparte 9 días a Disney World Orlando de la mano de Easyviajar.com. Si tienes pensado visitar Orlando el próximo año, quizás te interese saber que en primavera tiene prevista su apertura el parque temático &#8220;El Mundo Mágico de Harry Potter&#8221;. Hogwarts y la estación Hogsmeade serán, entre otras, sus principales atracciones.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<h4>PARQUE XCARET</h4>
<p>En pleno corazón de Méjico se encuentra el original parque de Xcaret. Actividades acuáticas como nadar con tiburones o delfines y espectáculos para descubrir los entresijos de la cultura maya, entre otros, son algunas de las actividades que podrás realizar en este singular parque.  El parque Xcaret es, sin duda, el complemento perfecto durante tu visita a Cancún. Desde Easyviajar te proponemos un viaje de nueve días a Méjico desde <a href="http://www.easyviajar.com/viajes/produit.jsp?idProduit=494699" target="_blank">788 euros. </a></p>
<h4>PARQUE TIVOLI</h4>
<p>Os invitamos a visitar el parque de atracciones más antiguo del mund el Parque Tivoli, en Copenhague. Este parque te sorprenderá por su encanto ya que sigue prácticamente intacto desde su inauguración, en 1843, manteniendo la misma esencia aunque con nuevas atracciones. En este parque no se encontrarán grandes montañas rusas o atracciones sofisticadas, sin embargo sus modestas instalaciones y el encanto de sus edificios permitirán divertirnos tanto o más como en los más modernos parques de atracciones. Además, el Tivoli cuenta con espectáculos musicales y de fuegos artificiales. Sin duda, una visita obligada en nuestro paso por Dinamarca. Descubre la apasionante Dinamarca durante tres noches desde<a href="http://www.easyviajar.com/viajes/produit.jsp?idProduit=494574" target="_blank"> 508 euros. </a></p>
<h4>PARQUE WARNER</h4>
<p>Por último, os proponemos una de las mejores propuestas de ocio sin salir del país: El Parque Warner de Madrid. Como su propio nombre indica, se trata de un parque temático ambientado en las películas más famosas de Warner Brothers. Pasear por sus calles que recrean escenas de películas o descargar adrenalina en sus montañas rusas te hará sentir el verdadero protagonista de sagas como Superman o Batman. Escápate al Parque Warner de Madrid desde <a href="http://www.easyviajar.com/viajes/produit.jsp?idProduit=65402" target="_blank">73 euros.</a></p></blockquote>

<description><![CDATA[Day 1 It&#8217;s my first day in Walt Disney World. I begin my ritual of heading to the Magic Kingdo]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div id="attachment_731" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 501px"><a href="http://wdwprince.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dsc_0003.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-731  " title="DSC_0003" src="http://wdwprince.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dsc_0003.jpg?w=1024" alt="Day 1" width="491" height="326" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Day 1</p></div>
<h3><span style="color:#003366;">It&#8217;s my first day in Walt Disney World. I begin my ritual of heading to the Magic Kingdom first and riding my favorite attraction The Haunted Mansion.</span></h3>
<p>I walk through the turnstiles. It is 2:25pm. Under the train station, I take time to look at the posters of some classic attractions. Next, I continue past the sculpture of Roy O. Disney and Minnie Mouse. The topiary is decorated for  Halloween. Now, I am standing before Main Street, alone! I can do whatever I want. I take in all of the details of Main Street, the shops, the windows, the merchandise. I see things I never took the time out to see before.</p>
<p><a href="http://wdwprince.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/disneymailbox.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-748" title="disneymailbox" src="http://wdwprince.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/disneymailbox.jpg?w=199" alt="" width="199" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>There is the mailbox perched on a lampost from which you can send mail from within the Magic Kingdom. I take my time noticing more details. The second floor windows reference Disney Imagineers.  I make a left past Casey&#8217;s Corner  and cross the bridge with the colonial street lamps leading into Liberty Square. I can see the Haunted Mansion down and to the left. It is all mine! I enjoy the experience of the attraction in the way that one would lose themself in a good book. It&#8217;s my world.</p>
<p><a href="http://wdwprince.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/haunted-mansion.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-752" title="haunted mansion" src="http://wdwprince.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/haunted-mansion.jpg?w=199" alt="" width="199" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>I spend the entire day indulging. I ride whatever  attraction I want. I eat in whatever restaurant I choose. I shop without shame.<br />
I take time to explore attractions I never made time for before. The Carousel of Progress is not all that bad!</p>
<p>I have taken both my Nikon camera and Canon camcorder. One is stashed in my over the shoulder camera bag. The other is in constant use. Having my camera and camcorder added a sense of purpose. The need to document my experience enhanced my experience. I took many pictures.</p>
<p>The park is to close at 10pm. I stay until Wishes fireworks. Then head for the monorail for Extra Magic Hours at Epcot.</p>
<p>At this point I am deliriously tired. Still I have to get those extra hours! I arrive at Epcot. Again I am noticing details. The sidewalk in Future World is glittering with lights. As I make my way to World Showcase, the Illuminations fireworks begin to explode. The welcoming display is relentlessly pleasing. One explosion of sound and color outdoes the next. When it is over I decide to end the night with some late night dinner.</p>
<p><a href="http://wdwprince.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/epcot-fireworks.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-750" title="epcot fireworks" src="http://wdwprince.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/epcot-fireworks.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a></p>
<p>Every restaurant I go into is booked completely at 10pm! Nine Dragons is completely mobbed. Akershus has some seats available but honestly it looks tired. From the staff to the buffet. It has peaked for the night. I make my way to Japan. Teppan Edo has got a line out of the door. No chance. Down the stairs I go and up again across the way. Yakitori House is just what I need. Some sushi (ok California roll but close enough) and a large lemonade hits the spot. I enjoy my food while texting my partner to share my experience.</p>
<p>It was an exhausting but fun day. Time to head over to the Friendship IV and head back to the Dolphin Resort.</p>
<p><a href="http://wdwprince.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dsc_0397.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-737" title="DSC_0397" src="http://wdwprince.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dsc_0397.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a></p>
<p>In the morning I will get up early. Animal Kingdom then Spirit of Aloha with a last stop at Mickey&#8217;s Not So Scary Halloween Party.</p>
<p>Stay tuned for Day 2.</p>
