Walt Disney World
For the past number of days we have been at Disney World, which according to every one we’ve spoken with in Orlando requires ‘at least a week’ to see everything. Well, let me tell you that those people are quitters and should be ashamed to call themselves tourists, we the self proclaimed super tourists did all four parks in two days…. BOOYA!
It’s a tough couple of days though and the journey is plagued with wave after wave of children and backed up by an armoured division of strollers and motorized carts, nicknamed ‘fatty carts’ on the frontline. The endless march was plagued by blisters and the enemy unrelenting but the rewards were thrilling.
The parks themselves are leagues better than Universal Studios as there is heaps more to see and do to the point where you can’t actually see one side of the park from the other. The pretext for each of the rides is well thought out and is a good distraction when you are stuck in a line for 30 minutes. Thankfully for us we had a system going so our wait times were minimal.
It seems we have picked the perfect time to be in theme park country, all the hotel rates have come down dramatically and the crowds in the various parks have been ‘low’ according to the cast members. The queue lanes for the most popular rides show just how busy they can get but thankfully the extended, winding lanes have all been sectioned off for the off-peak.
To summarise, Orlando has been great humid fun and we’ve seen some cool stuff and some of the largest people ever but it has been a busy week so we are happy to have a day off tomorrow and then head off to see Uncle Bob and Duffy some more.
