The Show Goes On: First journey to the parks

Last week the interns and I went to Magic Kingdom. 3 of 15 of us had NEVER been before and I had so much fun sharing the Disney Magic with them. We went in through the main gate, complete with monorail and everything and it was MADDNESS. You had to wait in a line just to get on the monorail. Definitely going in through the cast entrance next time, but it was important that the first timers get the full Disney experience. We went on Big Thunder RR for our first ride and it brought back so many good memories of riding it with my family, especially my dad who always is down to go on a roller coaster with me :) After that we went on Splash Mountain. To this day, that ride still gets me all worked up until you get to the big drop where I scream my face off.

The day after Val and I decided to hit up Animal Kingdom for an hour and a half after work, they close early at 7pm. We rode Everest 3 times and LOVED it. We would have gone again but were walking a little crooked after our last ride. The next morning Val and I went to the Hollywood Studios the next morning and spent ALL DAY there. We saw pretty much every attraction; Great Movie Ride, the new Star Tours, Lights Motors Action, Rock 'n Roller Coaster etc. The only thing we didn't make it on was the new Toy Story ride that I didn't even know about and had a ridiculously long wait; next time. Val LOVED Tower of Terror, she had no idea when the big drop was coming and it we laughed so hard after. We worked the Fast Pass system and ended up riding it 4 times! The last thing we did was the Indiana Jones Stunt Show, which is still the same as always only you have to get there really early to get seated. I always remember when dad was selected to be a participant in the show and how cool that was.

Although it has been rainy here the last week or so thanks to Debby I managed to snap some pictures on my way back from our apartment gym on a nice night. Hoping that this weekend the sun will come back out so I can work on my tan some more.
