The Big Fun

imageThat’s what we call Disney World. Make fun of us all you want, but we love the place.   We’re those weirdos with strategies for which direction to go first, we know where all the bathrooms are without consulting the map, and we absolutely know our way around each of the parks without needing help. Like I said, we love it.

So, this time it’s me, Biker and Alex. imageWe spent most of the day at Magic Kingdom and then went to Epcot for dinner at the Nine Dragons Chinese restaurant. It was a gorgeous day – easily the best weather we’ve ever had while here.  And we had a blast riding some of our MK faves — Pirates of the Caribbean, Thunder Mountain Railroad, Buzz Lighyear (where Alex showed Biker the meaning of a high shot count!), and the Haunted Mansion, to name a few. image

A few observations:

  • There are a lot of people here on Spring Break, and when we went to the Spaceship Earth ride at Epcot, where they have you put in your home location, the entire east coast was lit up. Makes sense.
  • There are a lot of people – I’d put it at 25% or more – wearing Disney shirts. Old, new. Young, old. Mickey, Minnie, Elsa, Buzz … name your fave Disney character and we saw a shirt today with him/her on it. A trend I’ve never noticed before. Lots of ear headbands, too.
  • You can’t use – or even carry – a selfie stick in a Disney park.
  • The hot dog place at the far end of Main Street has really good corn dog nuggets. 🙂
