Husband and I did some errands in Orlando today so; we decided to visit Disney World after all; it’s about 20 minutes away from where we were. As we drove down the express way, heavy traffic was unusual and it spans 6 miles ahead. I thought maybe, this week’s opening of the New Fantasyland could be the cause of the traffic. We detour and head home but, we will be back next week.
Enchanted Forest and Storybook Circus are attractions in Fantasyland located in Magic Kingdom. They are magical places with mermaids, beauties, flying elephants, beasts and wonders exist.
The New Fantasyland opened this week and this enchanting place marks as the largest expansion in the history of Magic Kingdom theme park. Guests will enjoy the interactive experience and will be able to meet more Disney characters and listen to enchanting stories. Do you like Disney film’s such as The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast? New Fantasyland is the right place to visit.
I would love to visit the attraction “Under the Sea~Journey” of the Little Mermaid. This is a musical attraction aboard a giant clamshell. Eric’s castle is here as well.
In the middle of the Beast’s castle is the “Be Our Guest Restaurant”. I would love to try their lunch menu for it costs only $14.99 and under … that’s affordable.
In “Enchanted Tales with Belle” is an attraction where retelling of the "tale as old as time" takes place and hosted by Belle and Lumière. Then, they have Ariel's Grotto where guests can take photos and get autographs.
Honestly? I am so excited to visit Disney World after I’ve known all these great attractions.
On this location, there is a Theater in the Tree of Life’s root system where the “It's Tough to be a Bug!” 8-minute show is being performed. This is one of my favorite attractions in Disney’s Animal Kingdom and it is a 3D movie. I enjoyed seeing Flik, my favorite ant. This is a multi-media show and Flik’s grasshopper friend Hopper is there as well. If you happen to see the Disney Pixar film A Bug's Life, you know what I am talking about. If you don’t, ask the little children, they knew the cast and supporting casts of insects and arachnids of that movie.
This is the Animal Kingdom gate.The Animal Kingdom is the fourth of four theme parks built at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. The other 3 themes are: Magic Kingdom, Epcot and Hollywood Studios. Opened on April 22, 1998, the Animal Kingdom theme park is known to be the largest single Disney theme park in the world. I read it from Wikipedia. This theme park is more than 500 acres and dedicated around animal conservation, a philosophy pioneered by Walt Disney.
To visit the Tree of Life, just follow the paths to Discovery Island Trails. If you are closer to the tree, check out the giant bark and you will recognize the 325 animals carved into the bark. It is very beautiful and creative. You will be amazed to see the Dreaming Tree of Walt Disney in Marceline, Missouri.
You should check out the post soon. I will show you the Dreaming Tree of Walt Disney taken from his boyhood town, Marceline.
If you wanted to stay longer, take the park hopper option. That way, you will not rush to visit certain park in one day. If you missed one attraction from a certain park, you can always come back to it anytime.
If you stay longer, you will enjoy your vacay more. And, if you stay in Disney Resorts, you are so lucky! You can go in and out from the theme parks fast and easy because you have the ferry boat and monorail to take you all the way to your hotel. If you hate warm weather, avoid summer time. It is really really hot in here. Been there with 110 degrees, OMG...it's brutal!
Visit the online site of Disney World to find good deals. If you come and buy your tickets in the park, there are days that you will have tough luck. Long lines, humidity and all? Oh...it's miserable! But, there are times that you can buy your ticket right away and no lines at all!
To avoid the hassle, purchase your ticket online. It's a wise decision and saves your precious time. Enjoy your Disney World vacay!
My niece teased me that I love "baby rides" LOL. Slow moving rides such as: Haunted Mansion, It's a Small World, Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, Jungle Cruise, Liberty Square Riverboat, main Street Vehicle LOL, Pirates of the Caribbean, Tomorrow land Speedway, Walt Disney World Railroad and more.
If you love adrenalin rush rides then, take the Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Mad Tea Party, Astro Orbiter and Splash Mountain. The latter is not bad at all. I have been to Magic Kingdom many times but, I did not dare to take these rides. But, last Wednesday, I was convinced by my niece (9 year old) to ride with her. I love it. I never felt dizzy, nor had headache. It was a cool ride actually. I think I can't ride and will never ride the Big Thunder and Space Mountain.
My favorite attractions are the following: Speedway, Transit Authority, Riverboat Ride, Jungle Cruise, Haunted Mansion and Splash Mountain.
If you go back to your resort through the monorail, you should try riding the ferry. The ride is nice and the view of Disney World is very beautiful especially at sunset time.
I took this picture from the Ferry Boat dock of Disney's Yacht Club Resort. This area is gorgeous and they have their own spectacular amenities bringing world class accommodation to tourist all over the world. The picture below is the view at the lakeside.
This resort offersroom service, fitness center and spa, beauty salon, shopping area, baby sitting and child services, and more. So, if parents wants an hour or two for a romantic time, they can leave their children in the baby sitting services.
The standard room in this resort for this season ranges from $360-$2150. The more beautiful the view is, the more it is expensive and you can only reserve it for a minimum of 4 days to 6 days. Pretty expensive huh?
For 360 degrees, the view is amazing and you will not regret to stay in this resort. Your time to visit the theme parks at Disney World will be used wisely because you are near to everything. The ferry boat is just right there at the lakeside area of the resort.
Visit disney during the winter season because the weather is cool. If you want the heat of the summer, do so but, it's really hot like 110 degrees. I do not recommend that you will visit Disney during Hurricane season because it's rainy and it will only ruin your vacation. I saw tourist who feel miserable soaking wet and trying to find their way to the hotels. Just a tip. But, if you have no other time, maybe you will find your luck and will have a good time.
I love Disney World and I hope you can visit Orlando soon with your family. It is a nice place for a family vacation.
