My Disney World Vacation part 1

If you have been following along then you know that I love love LOVE disney. I used to live 30 minutes away from disneyland, I lived in BURBANK,CA. Yes, the headquarters of the disney company. Why did I move? I don't know, i'm crazy obviously. I was missing disney so much and I have never been to Disney World. My boyfriend and I would talk about it but never set a date. Once we did, it became real. I was on the computer non stop. I would post questions on trip advisor. I would look up disney articles and start following disney pages on Facebook. This was our first vacation so it was a big deal. I wanted it to be perfect. I heard that you need to have at least 2 days in epcot, 2 days at magic kingdom, and 1 day for hollywood studios and animal kingdom. I had also heard magic kingdom is a lot like Disneyland.

We began looking up flights once we set our dates. We chose Pop Century, king bed, preferred room. We wanted to make the most of our time since it is precious. Preferred rooms were closer to the bus and I knew I would want to be at the parks the whole day and trust me by the end of the day you do not want to a lot just to get to your room. The money was worth it. My boyfriend was fascinated by the shower because it had a seat and he HAS to has his shower every night. That seat became our best friend because we could just relax and sit under that stream of hot water.

We also had every day planned out to the T. I knew which park we would be at each day. I made the ride reservations, and also our tours. We chose the aqua sea tour because I love everything about the ocean so having a private lesson and swimming with tropical fish and turtle seemed like an awesome experience and it was! I had a lot of trouble with the scuba gear but once I got the hang of it, it was amazing. For each tour there were 6 people who could participate. We met a couple who were cast members and they gave us Toy Story Mania Fast passes! omg! they made our day. We weren't planning to go to Hollywood Studios soon but we  couldn't waste those fast passes. We rearranged our next day and that was the best last minute decision I ever made. While we were at the park we saw Beauty and the Beast which was pretty cool. I thought it would be lame but I found myself singing along. Tower of Terror was a must since my boyfriend just loved it. It's his favorite ride. We went on Toy Story mania 3 times in a row. Our arms were so sore. By the way American Idol show is entertaining. It was lame in a funny way because of the actors that play the judges.

We booked Mickey Very Merry Christmas Party the night before we left as a going out with a bam.  So the trip begins.

I could not sleep the night before our flight. I stayed up making sure we had everything we needed. By the time we landed in Orlando I just wanted to go to the parks but we had to wait in the magical express line and then go to our resort THEN to the parks. There was a slight delay at the resort but I don't want to get into it. I was not happy with their service but whatever. I was at DISNEY WORLD.
We then hit Epcot for the Food and Wine Festival. They were going to be there for 3 days while we were there so we didn't have much time to stuff our faces. We made a list of foods that we wanted to try from each cart since we were on a budget of 100 dollars per day for food. Which was more than enough. We would roll over the money if we had some left over. We had so much fun there and it was very romantic on the boat ride during sun set. We were eating our desserts and enjoying the view. It was incredible. After that we hopped on over to Magic Kingdom and went on a couple of rides. Boy was I ready to hit the sack. Luckily, I had 6 more days to make magical memories. We went to the room and got some beauty sleep for the next day. Bright and early, it was going to be Epcot again to eat from the booths we missed.

Come back tomorrow for part 2!!
