On Sunday the 2nd day of June, I took a direct flight to St. Petersburg, Florida, with my daughter and her family. They rented a van to seat all seven of us and we headed for Orlando and four wonderful days touring all four of the theme parks at Disneyworld! I was finally going to see Disneyworld for the first time in my life! My daughter had rented a fabulous 4 bedroom – 4 bath house complete with a private pool and about a ten minute drive from Disneyworld. It was beautifully decorated and fully equipped, although it was hard to imagine using such nice furnishings in a vacation rental home! Nevertheless, we totally enjoyed it!

On Monday morning, we headed to Epcot and spent the next twelve+ hours seeing everything! (On the first of the four days, I was tired beyond measure but got progressively better as the week progressed. I took that to mean that I should definitely start walking TEN+ miles a day!) 😉 Well, maybe not ten!
On Tuesday morning, we headed to Animal Kingdom. That was probably my favorite of all the parks, but it’s hard to say. There were also some great rides in Animal Kingdom. I loved the African setting especially and seeing all the wild animals. My daughter loves roller coasters and rode the Expedition Everest several times. I gave her my fast pass ticket – that’s for sure! 😉
