Last Thursday, I picked Tim up from work early and we headed to the airport for our trip to the "Happiest Place on Earth", also known as Disney World. Our flight was originally supposed to leave at 6:05, but due to a "broken plane", we ended up leaving at 8:05. Not a great way to start a vacation, but better to arrive late than not at all. We spent 4 days in Orlando, 3 Days at the Disney Parks and 1 day exploring Orlando. Here are a few pictures from the Disney portion of our Florida trip.
Here is the famous Disney Castle light up for the nightly fireworks. Each park has one main center object, the castle is the center object for the Magic Kingdom. I wanted a picture of the castle in the daytime, but somehow forgot to take a picture, must have been my excitement to see Mickey!

This hat is the center object at Disney's Hollywood Studios. 
The Epcot Ball, the center object of the Epcot Park.
The ball actually contains a really neat ride about the history of communication. Epcot was also home to one of our favorite rides, Soarin'.
Epcot has a section of their park called "World Showcase" that has parts of several other countries. We ate lunch in Germany and took a picture of this fountain to remember our trip to Germany last summer. Tim was really hoping the German restaurant would have currywurst, but he had to settle for a brat and a pretzel instead.

Jody in front of the Lego Dinosaur in Downtown Disney. They had several sculptures made entirely from legos. Amazing!
Across the street from our hotel was Downtown Disney. It is a neat little Disney themed shopping area, where you can buy just about anything Disney, and I mean anything!
On Sunday we took a break from the Disney parks to visit some surrounding Orlando sights. This was a close as we got to the Kennedy Space Center. We also stopped along the beach, but it was storming so we didn't stay long.

This is the "Tree of Life", which is the center object at Disney's Animal Kingdom. You can't really tell from the picture, but there are several animals carved into the tree. 
There was a cow at the petting zoo at Animal Kingdom. Tim and I both thought we didn't really need to come all the way to Florida to pet a cow.
Right next to the petting zoo was a medical station for the animals at Animal Kingdom. At the medical station they operate on animals and let people watch. While we were there they were doing a routine check-up on a gorilla. It was amazing to see all the doctors working on the gorilla and I was very surprised they let everyone watch.

One of the rides at Animal Kingdom is an animal safari. These giraffes were just a few of the animals on the safari. 
Each park (except Animal Kingdom) has a fantastic nighttime show. This boat is from the nighttime show at Disney's Hollywood Studios called Fantasmic. They only do a Fantasmic show 3 days a week and it fills up fast, we got there 1.5 hours before the show started just to get a seat. Of all of the nighttime shows Fantasmic was our favorite, but they all were amazing and well worth the wait time.

Stay tuned, McClelland family Florida trip part 2 coming soon...
