Disney World [42 pics]

I went to Disney World for Easter over spring break with my parents and my sister. We met my Brother, Uncle and Aunt there for easter and ate Easter dinner in Epcot. Anyway, we went to all four parks and I thought I'd show you guys some of my pics. I managed to narrow down 566 to 42 pics :o If you have added me on facebook and want to see all 566 pics you can look if you like xD But anyway for those of you who haven't, here's a bit of my experiences. Other then a few rude [VERY rude] employees we had an excellent time.:)

Stayed in Fort Wilderness Resort and we got a cabin. This is one of the rooms. I slept on the top bunk for awhile but it got increasingly annoying to go up and down all night when I had to go to the bathroom. :rolleyes:

Dory, Marlin, and Nemo in front of what used to be the living seas. I can't remember the new name :o It's virtually the same other then then the name. There's still the restraunt, aquarium, and now a new show called Turtle Talk with Crush, which I thought was so funny

The next day it's off to the Animal Kingdom! I know you guys will enjoy this part the best, I certainly did. BTW, for anyone going in the future take my advice and GO ON EXPEDITION EVEREST!! It is SO much fun and it's a roller coaster without and loops, cork screws, etc. There's a giant robotic yeti at the end of it, it's a pretty new ride!

Macaws! They are so cute, and the two on the bottom preening each other is a sign of friendship.

The Tree of Life from the Lion King. It's really cool, they have a bunch of carvings of a variety of animals that I never truthfully noticed before. :o

We went to the Magic Kingdom. My parents booked a lunch in the Cinderella's Castle with all the disney princesses XD In my defense we were NOT the only teenagers there. The food(Shepherd pie is what I ordered) was great.

I was pleasantly surpised with this one. The wait wasn't long and they added more stuff in the ride like Davey Jones and Jack. :love:

My mickey ears! :p

2 MORE ONLY! We saw alot of shows in Disney. I only took pictures at 1 and it wasn't all that great. The beauty and the beast one in Hollywood Studios. I don't think they can really cram a 1hr + movie without making it sucky. I don't think they were really singing either. Obviously the beast can't sing but they girl could've. Eh..here's two shots I liked:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...Sweet16558.jpg
I'm not on for sappy things but I thought this was semi-cute. It's just sad the entire thing sucked. It wasn't HORRIBLE but I just hated the show in general.

XD I forgot this characters name but I've always liked him.

[END] :D

Of course the flamingos were from Fantasia - the pink bows really give that away! They were very well done!

The "big famous golf ball thing" - that's the Epcot Center! ;)

Love that the second picture is of a random wild lizard - you are a Pet Talker all right! :)

Thanks for sharing, looks like you had a great trip!

OOOOOH I love disney world. My favorite vacation place in the whole world :D

So jealous. can't wait to go again.

Looks like you had a great time :)

aaaaaaaaargh, deja vu! I spent a week at Disney World last year. I too took a pic of a random lizard, but it was eating a bug, LOL

Did you see the show at Hollywood Studios where they were re-creating the scene from the Pearl Harbor movie? I talked my boyfriend into volunteering for the "soaker seat", LOL. I had seen the show the day before while he was doing something else. He had no idea what was coming:D

When I went to DisneyWorld we went to HollyWood Studios and just when we were about to get in line for the tower ride it began to downpour so we ended up leaving. :(
I want to go back so bad. But until then your pictures will hold me over. :)

WOW! I enjoyed looking at all these, the colors in them are awesome and you take GOOD pictures.. I loved your room, that was really cute.

It's been many years since I was at Disney World. Feels like yesterday after seeing your pics.;) It looks like so much fun! Thanks for sharing.:)

Thanks for the replies! I'm glad you enjoyed my photos. Unfortunately, my pictures quality sucks, I don't know why but I did manage to fix it yesterday because I was sick of it in all my pics. :(

Yes, I did see the Pearl harbor show and I enjoyed it! That movie was great too, I was glad to see the cool effects they used. I liked the Pirates of the Caribbean paraphonelia on the BackLot Tour. LOL at the Soaker seat, that is so awesome! I bet he was pretty mad at you. I actually got a picture of the guy getting full-on soaked with it. :D Hehe, Karen I knew I was right! My Aunt thought they were from the Lion King. I was like yeah, because they have bows in Africa :p

I was so relieved that they emphasized the older movies such as Lady and the Tramp and Lion King much more then the stupid High School Musical crap and Hannah Montana. They only had one HSM show! YESSS!!!!!!! :D Cindy it was actually very rainy the day we went to Hollywood Studios. My mom spent 8$ on a poncho, but the rain subsided are 6PM :)

Sparks, TAKE HANNAH TO DISNEY! Those pics would be priceless.

I went to Disney for a week at the beginning of March. That was so fun. It was not crowded at all. They were getting ready for the flower and garden exhibt at Epcot then. I loved the dragon in China. I might have to go through some of my photos and post a few. Did you ride Toy Story Mania at Hollywood Studios?

Those are great pictures. Thanks for sharing them.

I haven't been to Disney in a long time, despite the fact that I live about an hour from it. My husband and I have talked about taking our son to one of the parks for his third birthday next April.

Thanks for bringing back great memories!! We were at Disney World in 1994! it was a FANTASTIC trip!!

Disney was a blast! I've been there twice. We won dream fastpasses in October when we went.

Three may be a little young, but since you're relatively local, it may work. Really little kids can't go on any of the really COOL rides, but there are plenty of little kids' rides!

My fave T shirt was one a little kid had on. There was a picture of Yoda in front of a ride gate, which said "You must be this tall." The caption was his classic quote, "Judge me by my size will you?" I wish they had that in adult sizes!

I went when I was 5. Don't remember a thing about going. Back in '04 we went to Epcot and Downtown Disney while passing thru. It wasn't 'til last year I got to experience the full-on Disney experience. I'm not a ride person so I spent a lot of toime just wandering around taking pictures. My bf's mom and I don't ride rides so we'd take my bf and his dad's cards and get faspasses to one ride while they were on another. I think I liked Hollywood Studios the best, with all the street shows and all.

Cool pics Alyssa. I live about an hour away and I take it for granted. I haven't been in a few years. I went quite a bit as a kid, we had annual passes. I would like to see the flower and garden festival they have at Epcot now, I pass a billboard for it everyday on my way home. I'm glad you had fun!

They do!! I bought it for my cousin. The only place I saw them in adult sizes was at the end of the Mars ride in Epcot. The one that I really wanted to get him was Mr. Potato head dressed as Darth Vader. It said Darth Tater...then there was a french fry next to him and at the bottom it said "I am your father." They didn't have it anywhere in the size that I needed though, so I settled for the other one.

Thanks for the replies guys :) I'm glad I brought back memories for you. I've gone to Disney alot of times but this was the best trip by far, you just don't really care when you're little. I took many pictures this time! I wanna go again soon. My sister and I have the same birthday month 4 days apart so we should go for our birthdays this year! :p For the people who live 1 hour away, I'd say go for it! I guarentee a good time. :D

I liked the Magic Kingdom the best because I like POTC and the castle. But Epcot was a close second because I like the pavilions and futuristic atomsphere and I love all the rides. My favorite rides is the tower of Terror it was SO much fun and Expedition Everest!! Everest was the best with the giant yeti hehe.

Yes I did go on the new Toy Story Ride! I had a blast, it was alot a fun!

One thing I really had fun with was the Animation Studios thing in Hollywood Studios. It was so cool to learn how the draw the characters and the processes of making the perfect character. We took a drawing class and drew Minnie mouse! Mine was the best out of the four of us xD. I love, love, love, love and did I mention LOVE? Animation and drawing. Probably gonna Minor in it in college. I would like to try and get a job at Disney doing that. I think it would be fun. I already work at an amusement park, so I have some experience.

I cannot tell you how OBSESSED I am with all things Disney! I LOVE LOVE Disney Land, but mostly Disney World! We live here in CA and have been to Disney Land many times, and have been to Disney World twice, AND went on a Disney Cruise as a family! Don't remember too much about the cruise, but I do remember that it was a great, great time

Great pictures Alyssa, and I'm glad you had such a great time!!!:)
