Only home a couple of days, and just getting over the jetlag.
We flew from Dublin on the 8th with Aer Lingus. Its great clearing immigration at this end, makes things so much easier. The plane was a little older, no individual TV's, and only one free meal, but it was cheap and most importantly, comfortable, good leg room.
Arrived on time, security checks take a little longer, as well as passport control, but not a problem, collect car and head off to Disney. We were staying in a Disney resort this time, as we were only there for a week.
First thing Wednesday morning we were at Epcot at 8:00 for our Segway tour. (I will post photos in the photo section if anyone wants to see). There are only ten people on the tour. It starts with a forty minute classroom introduction, safety, and practice, which is essential. Then out into the world showcase, before its open, to drive around like a line of ducks. Really great fun and we would highly recommend. Two hours in total, and we didn't want to give the Segways back. By the way, the weather was great, warm and sunny.
We spent the rest of the day in Epcot staying until 9:00pm for Illuminations, which was as always fantastic. Then back to the hotel for a quick dip in the hot-tub before bed.
Thursday morning, up bright and early for a trip to Animal Kingdom. Great to see the new Expedition Everest attraction being built (I have posted some photos).
After the park it was off to Stamp you Art out (Karen is a big craft fan) and then Michaels. I lost count of the number of hours we were here for.
Friday morning, up at 6:00 to be the first in line for the Magic Kingdom. We made it there, and to the front of the line. We are big Disney fans, and i have always wanted to be among the first into the park. I did it this time. It only lasts for a few minutes as you are followed quickly by a huge crowd.
