Hooray Disney!!


Thursday night after chillaxin in the pool we headed to the Black Angus for some BEEF! With stomachs full, we headed over to Old Town. The last time we were there they had classic cars cruising...this time it was a swarm of 2-wheelers...and some 3-wheelers. Lots and lots of pretty bikes and trikes. After walking off the meal, we stopped at what is possibly the best go-kart track we have ever been on. This was like a triple decker track that looped around and around climbing higher and higher until it straightens out you pick up speed on a huge decline that banks around into another decline back to the ground floor. Sweet ride.

We could have taken 2 2-day passes to Universal or 2 1-day passes to any Disney theme park. We were at Universal a couple of years ago, so we choose to go with Disney. Looking at the parks, the Disney-MGM Studios had the Star Wars attraction "Star Tours" and the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror ride, so we went with that park. Disney-MGM did not disappoint...except for the Drew Carey "Sounds Dangerous" attraction. Don't ever waste your time on this one...unless you just need a 15-minute power nap. Star Tours was alright, the AT-AT outside the ride was sweet. Muppets 3-D was neato. Best ride was the Tower of Terror...2 thumbs up! The only disappointment was passing the Star Tours attraction and seeing Darth Vader out posing for pictures, but the line was closed before I could get in to get my picture taken with him. :(
The live shows for Indiana Jones and the Extreme Stunt Show were really cool. Around 5:30ish we left the park and headed to Cracker Barrel for some dinner. On the way to the car, we passed a car that had the driver's side window busted out...eek. Glad it wasn't our car. After enjoying a fine "home cooked" meal, we headed back to the park to catch the 8pm show of Fantasmic! Left the park for the last time and headed to Downtown Disney and strolled the shops there. Ended our walk at the Haagen-Dasz and got ourselves a ice cold tasty treat. A great close to the magical world of Disney and our Friday in Orlando.

Saturday we slept in, grabbed some lunch, another nap and then headed to Cocoa Beach. We nixed the Space Center plans, just too worn out. Weather wasn't so great, so we didn't even get in the water. Just cruised the beach and the pier and then went back home and relaxed in the pool. Finally packed everything up and tried to get some sleep before heading out to Miami to catch the RRRAIDERS!!!
