o.k Disney world...
never been there before so i dig up all the book i can find - i finished 5 books before we left home - this is my way to prepare, i like travel book, i like to kill my time with it and i like to collect them - just wish they are little cheaper...
we book everything with AAA - i think you will get extra discount than regular travel agency since AAA sponsor lots of part of Disney
pick up our stuff from AAA office i hold my booklet and my older one hold "princess book"(Disney brasher) and she doesn't let go of it for long long time....
after long day in air we were finally in Orlando, we got there very late 11pm - easy peasy for us, it is only 8pm CA time
we get on Disney express A.K.A mickey mouse bus - all the Disney resort have shuttle from Orlando airport, they move your bag (but if you get there after 10pm, you have to pick up the luggage yourself, your Disney package comes with color luggage tag which let Disney people know where that bag below) about 30 min ride we are at Disney Coronado spring hotel(moderate level)
hotel is huge!!! i mean really really big so if you are not lucky you might have to walk bit for shuttle bus, make sure you mention when you check in "i would like the room close to bus station.." they have 4 bus station in side of this hotel, 2 swimming pool(the main one is huge, and far), cafeteria...this is how big is the hotel...
important tip - if you don't have car in FL order your grocery before your trip start - water, diaper, baby food etc... from local grocery they will deliver to your hotel and when you check in they will wait for you and store for you in refrigerator!! this will save lots of water money in the park!!
room was quite small and very out dated - it was feels like motel than hotel but i guess we are paying for location...bath tub wasn't clean and we order bed rail and it take.......forever to get there and local time 2am!!!
another tip: as soon as you book the Disney world than call their dining number and make reservation for restaurant especially if you have meal plan -most of popular one book up by 6 month in advance
we had 1st breakfast reservation at grand Floridian hotel - breakfast with character like marry poppins, pooh etc...10am Fl time, it is 7am CA time!!!OMG my kids are normally not wake at this time...we had very sleepy breakfast and went back to room and took a nap so we started our magic kingdom at 2pm...have you heard anyone who enter at 2 pm?=)
we like Disney world magic hours - not like Disneyland, disney world magic hour is after park closed so we stay till 2am - before you leave check the park schedules, they will tell you which park will have extra park hour and plan your day according to that, extra magic hour is only works for people who stay in disney and swan, they will check your room key when you get on ride
Hollywood park was second day - had really good show, our favorite was beauty and the beast - all the show line is long so make sure you be there 30 min before to enter and if you want to good seat be there 1 1/2 hour before show start
Epcot :this was more for adult than kids there's so much to see and learn about other culture, and you can meet people from other country - Disney have program that allow college students from all around the world and work in the park for 3 months so make sure check employee's name tag that shows where they came from and ask about there country, we had so much fun chat with employee and learn so much from them
animal kingdom: this is smaller park and only park don't have closing show - all the loud sounds will scare animal
it was peaceful and quite park with lots ans lots of tree, make sure you get fast pass for safari when you enter the park and you can be on their block party(which is parade) check with guest service if they have spot they will put you on!!
all the Disney park have baby service for changing diaper and have tiny potty for kids but lots of them are hidden
magic kingdom: end of main st. on your left side
Hollywood:right after entrance and your left side
Epcot: before the lagoon and very left side - this was really hidden
animal kingdom: st to the safari between the tree, this was more hidden than any other park due to the tree, but if you timing well you can stay under air condition (waiting for block party) and come out enjoy the parade(parade pass right in front of baby center)
downtown disney: this place is huge, and have biggest disney store in the world - if you stay in side of disney they send your shopping bag to your hotel, you just need to pick it up in hotel gift shop - shopping was very enjoyable when you don't need carry anything
i can keep go on about this trip...if you have more question please feel free to ask me
i am more than happy to share with you
we finally went to Walt Disney World
i wish this place is little closer to us but as you know that will not stop us....maybe their price will
we are hoping ,wishing, praying, and saving for our next trip to Disney world....
until than bye bye mickey!!
i really miss him
happy vacation
