Middle America's Worldview

The vacation is half over already. Today was a very relaxing day (except for a emergency issue that was resolved). Today, we didn't run from one ride to another, rather we slowly floated around a lake at Discovery Cove. It was very nice and did I mention relaxing? sigh.

Basically we hit Disney Friday and hit Downtown Disney first. Saturday we stayed half the day at Animal Kingdom. We basically hit all the rides by half the day. Our son started collecting the Disney Racer cars, our daughter the pins. I wanted the kids to get the penny press's. So I hit the penny machines.

That Saturday evening we cruised over to MGM since we had reservations at the Scifi Diner. We actually was able to hit a couple of the shows and rides that evening at MGM. We had a great time and were able to hit many of the rides, ect. we didn't expect too. The big extra was us seeing the parade that contained the Power Rangers, our sons hero's.

Sunday we hit Epcot. We again hit all the rides we wanted too. On the second day, we already learned the best way to do this is to hit the ones having the early hour. This allows us to hit the rides we want without the long waiting line. We didn't do the walk around the world, yet.
That Sunday evening, we hit Magic Kingdom. We had a supper reservation at Crystal Palace. We mainly walked main street and was able to watch the parade.

Monday morning we hit Magic Kingdom again. We watched the shows and hit the rides. Magic Kingdom is basically like a wheel with the 'lands' as the spokes. The castle lies in the middle. We started out watching Stitch great escape and worked our way around the other lands. The one thing I was looking forward too, but was disappointed in was 'The presidents hall'. It was suppose to be about the presidents but it was mainly about 'Freedom and equality'. Yes, it was a good message per se. However, it really wasn't what it was suppose to be. Plus it used the Civil War as a example of slavery(going with that equality thing). After reading about the Civil War, it wasn't a war about slavery (that was brought into it after the war started). So again, misleading the people. Oh well, Magic Kingdom was cool, but hot in weather.

Tuesday, we hit Discovery Cove. We swam with the dolphins and lazily relaxed. This by far was the most relaxing of the trip. I told the kids it was nice to just float, swim, ect. We didnt' have to run from one ride to another. sigh.
