Day 1: Disney's Hollywood Studios
The first day we went to Disney's Hollywood Studios. We got there before the park opened with plans to see everything. Well, we saw just about everything and we were so tired at the end of the day. Our first two rides were the Rockin Rollercoaster and the Tower of Terror. We were both so dizzy and in shock after those two that we had to take a short break before continuing on to our next ride. The Rockin Rollercoaster was great, it was in the dark and like a really wild car ride with loops and spirals. The Tower of Terror takes you through the twilight zone and up to the thirteenth story, shows you how high up you are and then drops you and bounces you like a ball. It kind of gives you an awful feeling of impending doom. I'm glad I went on it but I will never go on it again. Our favorite ride was the Toystory Mania. It was like going through a fast-paced 3D carnival and we got to compete against each other. That one was a little more my pace.
We saw two great stunt shows, one based on Indiana Jones and another on car chases. Both were really fun to see and gave us some time to sit down in the shade.

Day 2: The Magic Kingdom
Day two we went to the Magic Kingdom, which is more or less like Disneyland in California. This was a fun day a little more relaxing since John and I have both been to Disneyland and we weren't concerned about seeing absolutely everything. We went on Splash Mountain and I got completely soaked, which was new. And we went on the Buzz Lightyear ride, which was a new ride since we've been. It was a fun day!
Day 3: EPCOT
EPCOT was one of our favorite days. We didn't worry about going on all the rides but we saw a lot. EPCOT is made up of two sections, one that focuses on the world and its future, and the world showcase. We went on Soarin', which is a ride that simulates hang gliding over California. It was really cool and when we flew over the orange groves we could smell the oranges. I felt like I could stretch my toes and touch the water. We also really liked Turtle talk with Crush, an interactive show where Crush (sea turtle from Finding Nemo) talks to the kids and they can ask him questions. After a few rides we toured the world showcase. Several countries were represented with buildings, shops, rides, and videos all surrounding a lagoon. We stopped in Canada and watched the video that dispelled all myths of year-round snow and sled dogs. We stopped in France and got some pastries. We saw the China video and went on the Spirit of Norway ride in Norway. We also saw the miniature village in Germany and went on a boat ride in Mexico. The highlight of our EPCOT day was our dinner in France that night. We decided to have a special dinner at the Bistro de Paris, complete with authentic french food and servers and cooks from France. Dinner was great and we spoke french to our server all night. Afterwards we saw the laser light and fireworks show on the lagoon.
Day 4: The Animal Kingdom
Our last day at Disneyworld was at the Animal Kingdom. The best part of the Animal Kingdom was the shows. We loved the Finding Nemo musical and the Lion King Celebration. Both were really unique, Finding Nemo had actors on cables holding fish puppets and the Lion King show had acrobats, dancers, and singers. We had a fun time on Expedition Everest rollercoaster, Dinosaur, and the Kali River Rapids. We loved the safari, we were able to see a lot of exotic animals closeup in a natural habitat. We also saw a parade that had lots of cool floats made like animals. We wished we had more time to spend there but the park closed at 5 and we drove home that night. We would have liked to have gone on more of the nature trails to see more animals. I loved the atmosphere at the Animal Kingdom, it was themed in a lot of exotic places like India, Africa, and Nepal, we felt like backpackers traveling the world.
