Blogging or Beach? Let's go with both!

Hi everyone! Sorry for my lack of blogging lately. I've been so busy getting ready for my trip to Florida and then I actually had to go to Florida. So here I am in Florida!

Today we checked into this hotel in Ormond Beach (which is near the famous Daytona Beach, if you've ever heard of it). It's so awesome! Our hotel is right on the beach! I haven't taken any pictures here yet, but I do have something exciting for y'all.

I went to Disney World yesterday!

I haven't been there in 4 years so it was so exciting! We went yesterday and we might go in the next couple of days. It was so hot, I literally thought I was going to pass out. Note to self (and everyone reading this): never spend the entire day (from 11 AM to midnight) at Disney World in the scorching Florida summer heat, wearing flip flops. Biggest mistake of my life. I was wobbling around about halfway through the day!

But anyway, here's some pics of the two parks we went to: Animal Kingdom (it's like African safari-based) and then Magic Kingdom (the original and most popular of the 4 parks and my personal favorite)

Animal Kingdom-that huge tree in the middle is actually fake!
At AK, they had this Safari ride where you sit in one of the above vehicles, and it takes you to see real animals in the "wilderness"
See those giraffes?


This was a huge roller coaster ride called Expedition Everest. We didn't get a chance to go on though :(

Magic Kingdom Cinderella Castle



Magic Kingdom "Fantasyland"

The evening parade!




Dwarves!

The castle is beautiful at night!


They add all these cool color effects to make it look like this!

All in all, it was alot of fun. I absolutely loved it; it reminded me of how great being a kid is, and how you're never too old for Disney! Please excuse the poor photography! I'll be back soon with more photos! I'm off to the beach :)

  5. ooh! That's awesome. I never got a chance to go there and well...my super snobbish ego might say that 'I'm not interested in Disney world anymore'...but deep inside I wouldn't uhum...mind going there and umm...have some fun.
    Anyway, glad you had a great time there. :D
