Blue Heron Beach Resort in Orlando

This picture was taken when I visited a friend who stayed at Blue Heron Beach Resort here in Orlando. The resort is located at the heart of Lake Buena Vista area and close to all the attractions of Disney World and Universal Studious. This resort offers a superior accommodation and it is fully furnished with full kitchen. I highly recommend this resort if you want to visit Disney World, stay at Blue Heron.
The name of this lake is Lake Bryan. I was dumbfounded when I saw the back view of this resort because the front is totally the opposite. This view is a relaxing retreat amidst the busy tourist area at the front. Check out the Website for more information.

Disney's Yacht Club

We went to Disney World at Epcot to unwind and since we have an all-year pass to all four parks, we can visit these parks anytime during weekdays. We went to Disney's Yacht Club Resort first to have lunch and we proceed to Epcot. This is the ferry ride that we took and I enjoyed it because the view from the lake is awesome.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.

Yacht Club Resort

Last Monday, Hubby and I were bored at home so; we decided to go to Disney's Yacht Club Resort and had our lunch in one of the restaurants of the resort. Since we had a yearly pass, we decided to visit EPCOT, one of the theme parks of Disney. The picture below is the dock area for ferry boats, the best transportation to visit Epcot or Boardwalk.Part of the grand building of the Yacht Club Resort facing the lakeside. If you have the money, you should check in to this resort. The money you spent is worth it because the access to all theme parks is easy and fast! The amenities in this resort is amazing and jaw-dropping!The picture below is part of the landscape of Yacht Club Resort. That is the life-size replica of a wrecked ship.This is the scenery that awaits you if you stay in this resort. As far as your eyes can see, that is Disney Property and you are in the heart of it! Okay, with this perfect scenery, it will cost you $350/day to $2,150/day on weekday rates with maximum of 5 days booking. Wheewwwww!
If you want to know the amenities, you can check it out in their website.

Barhroom at the Beau Rivage

This is the bathroom at the Beau Rivage Hotel. It has two sinks and deep soaking tub with separate standing shower and a separate restroom.
This is the standing shower and it has a good size.
The soaking bath tub and the door leads to a separate restroom.
This is a soaking tub and it is really nice, deep and big.
I enjoyed this bathroom room very much. The room is clean and huge in size.
This is not in a suit room bathroom. I bet the suit rooms have grand bathrooms and way better than this one.

On Our Road Trip

When we were traveling for a road trip down the Gulf Coast, there are so many hotels and Inns along the high way. Some of the places are not in a good neighborhood and we did experience having to stay in a remote hotel. We had to stop one time in a cheap hotel because we were so tired. If you stay in a remote hotel or inn, you will have this cautious feeling of being watch like in a horror movie.This hotel is not in a remote area though and located at the front of the highway 90 and front of the water facing the Gulf of Mexico. A good place to stay when you are so tired from the road trip. A good sleep does matter a lot.

Downtown Disney

We have a visit from our family from Mississippi and the kids wanted to go to downtown Disney.We accompany them and this is a good place to bring a family without spending for entrance fees. What you spend is only the food you eat and the shopping spree you make.The picture above is crab house restaurant and it is a fine dining located in Downtown Disney.
This is the decor of the park. Full of Trex gigantic bones and some are buried under the sand where kids can play excavating it.
The picture above is the Rainforest Cafe, a find dining restaurant and a shopping place too. It is one of my favorite places in Disney.
The picture above is a Disney ride that you have to pay to get in.
There is so much to see at Downtown Disney. I like it when we roam the area at night because it's cool and there are entertainment on the theatre and it's free.
If you have nothing to do and you are in Orlando, check out Downtown Disney and hang out for a coffee. One way to cut that daily routine!

Awesome Hotel

This is a cappuccino machine in one of the hotels here in Orlando. When we still live in Mississippi and we came to Orlando to purchase a property, we stayed one week in a hotel just to process the final papers. It was fast actually considering it was a short sale. Thanks to our good realtor who is a Filipino. Anyway, this Cappuccino Machine caught my eye because it was in gold color and looks like a family heirloom one time. The hotel is neraby Disney Theme Parks, has a huge swimming pool with beautiful landscape. Their customers were alright, a mix of tourist and local. There is a NO SMOKING in all areas of the hotel premises and if caught will have a $250 fines! For us that do not smoke AWESOME! But, for those who can't live a day without a stick called it ridiculous! Well, I hope all hotels will have this kind of brave regulations. Peace to all smokers out there.

The Courthouse

This is the Orange County Courthouse here in Orlando, Florida. Remember the case of the mother of Caylee Anthony who was acquitted for all counts regarding the death of the toddler? Well, the whole world witnessed the case because it was shown LIVE on TV and this is the famous courthouse.When I took this picture, it was on a Sunday that is why there is no one here. The front of the courthouse was crowded with people who wanted to get in the court room for the next day. Oh by the way, the mother is back in Orlando in connection with the check fraud she was found guilty of. It is all about the probation issue of that case. Most people ignore that fact but, the media thought that she is an interesting news still! Most of the people I know, just shrugged that news.

Blue Horizon Hotel

This is the beautiful back view from Blue Horizon Hotel in Orlando Florida where my friend and her family stayed for a week. If you don't care about the traffic to get in and out of this area and you love this view, you might love this hotel.Their daughter is out of school so, they decided to visit Disney again. They had a blast! Their room has this spectacular view of serenity, far too ironic when you see the front view of the hotel. The traffic is insanely unbearable. Well, Disney area is like that everyday so, doesn't really matter.Here she is, holding her Canon DSLR camera, such a beautiful caption.
Look at the huge pool below. After the scorching day at Disney, this is such an inviting place to come "home" and enjoy a splashing moment to cool down, right? Or just walk towards the lake and just enjoy the cool breeze in the area. My friend really got this place at reasonable price for a week. They have a terrace, a bedroom and place for the kids, a good size living room and a kitchen, two bathrooms and a laundry area. Vacation that feels like you are just at home!

Canon DSLR Camera

This is my friend from Louisiana, such a gadget kind-a-person huh? She got this Canon DSLR camera that I so love to have and of course, I am trying to save to buy one for me. Oh yeah! I am that hopeless to have this expensive gadget. My hubby gave me half of the price so, anytime I can buy my own DSLR too. Look, this is her photos taken from her DSLR. Such a beautiful collection right? These pictures were taken from the balcony of her room. I can't remember what floor was it but, I guess it was on the 5th.Using a Canon EOS Rebel DSLR camera has many features that is why this camera can take so beautiful pictures such as this one.Look at the image, it process a high quality even if the speed is used. This DSLR camera also provides a digital zoom as you can see the clear picture below. Such stunning clarity of pictures right?
This is the pool side view of Blue Heron Hotel in Orlando, Florida where the family of my friend were staying for a week.
The place has a jacuzzi which is in a good size. It looks smaller in the picture but, it can probably accommodate 6 people and it's still spacious. Anyway, thanks to my friend who allowed me to use her pictures which I snagged from her facebook profile.

Lake Eola Park Fireworks Display

This year's 4th of July celebration in Orlando has been memorable in so many ways. Celebrating Freedom Day while all of us are anxious on the "verdict watch" of the Casey Anthony Murder Trial. Floridians learned to love the face of the little girl CAYLEE MARIE ANTHONY simply because from DAY 1, people are involved in finding the little girl.Thousands of people volunteered searching the woods and swamp all over Orlando. The state spent so much money to search where Caylee was because the mom won't tell where and what happen to the little girl.Caylee won't see these fireworks! She has the right to see how spectacular this event is. But, I can only hope and that will never happen because Caylee's remains was found DEAD in a swamp. The 12 jury has spoken their VERDICT on 7/5/2011 at the Courthouse which is two blocks away from LAKE EOLA PARK. This case will be remembered forever! A NOT GUILTY VERDICT for Casey Anthony is hard to take but, CAYLEE is not the only Victim who had NO JUSTICE. And that's the real truth! Who is accountable for her death? This question will be left unanswered FOREVER and it's because the 12 JURORS have spoken NOT GUILTY to the accused.Orlando will move on with life and put this case aside. The prosecution asked this question to the jury: WHO's life is better without Caylee? The lesson about this whirlwind event? Someone can get away with murder if you LIE. Someone can get away with murder if you put the body in a trash bag , tossed the body in a swamp and eaten by animals. Someone can get away with muder if you accuse men in the family with sexual abuse. Someone can get away with murder ... period! And this is true in the Casey Anthony Murder Trial! Such a sad and tragic ending with the life of this little girl.

Animal Kingdom in Disney World

If you visit Disney World in Orlando, you should explore the breathtaking attractions in Animal Kingdom Theme Park. Taking the Kilimanjaro SAFARIs is just one part of the attraction that you should start with. Kids love to see animals in their normal habitat so, take the Maharajah Jungle Trek where they can see tigers, bats and more.You can also take the Wildlife Express Train to Rafiki's Planet Watch where you can have picture taking with Rafiki and other Disney Characters. You should check out Pangani Forest Exploration Trail and Flights of Wonder attractions too, I bet you will enjoy these attractions for sure.
There is a new attraction called Wild Africa Trek, it is so thrilling and this expedition is privately guided where you will be fitted with a harness attached to a cable system. My personal favorite attraction is Animal Kingdom are: It's Tough to be a Bug, Festival of the Lion King, Wildlife Express Train (especially when I am tired walking hehehe), Finding Nemo which is the BEST.
The TREE at the middle is called TREE OF LIFE. You should go that direction because it is the home of BUGS LIFE! Young and old will love this attraction. You will get out laughing and grinning I will bet you on that!
The picture below showing the mountain with white cap at the top is the Expedition Everest the Legend of the forbidden Mountain. Inside the cave of that mountain, you will be face to face with the famous YETI. If you love high speed trek to the mysterious Himalaya Mountain, this is the thrill you have been looking for. I must admit, I am afraid with this ride hehehe.
For sure, if you take this ride, you will scream the longest scream ever! If you call it FUN then, take the challenge of this ride! Have Fun!

You have my word for that.
