What Day is Today?

Today is Wednesday, which makes this day four of the trip? I think so. I am on vacation so I refuse to do math.

Yesterday was Magic Kingdom but the weather went down the crapper in the afternoon and we spent a lot of the time at the hotel watching lightning. One blast hit so close that we think it might have hit something in the hotel complex. That was freaky.

Today is Hollywood Studios. We’ll spend the morning there then go back to the hotel to rest up for an extended after hours event that we bought tickets for. We may be riding Star Wars rides until after midnight. Fortunately I had my first good nights sleep in weeks last night, so fingers crossed I’m up for it.

I hope to be posting pictures of First Order stormtroopers soon.

Florida Recap Post – The Eighth

On January 9th we started the day at Magic Kingdom, then went back to the hotel to flake out for a while. That was the last recap post. That night we went back to Magic Kingdom for the fireworks show and stayed for an after hours event. The event required a separate ticket and took place after the park closed. That means the joint was virtually empty. We did a ton of rides with little to no wait. It was awesome.

Here are a ton of pointless photos.

I was really ready for the xmas stuff to go away.

Fireworks… in manual mode. Like a crazy person

This is me putting my feet up on the nearly empty People Mover, which we rode I think four times that night.

Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin (my favorite Magic Kingdom Ride not called Splash Mountain) was a walk on. Glorious.

I really wanted a slow shutter speed shot of the spinning merry go round, but not enough that I would stand there and wait for the ride to start. Sorry.

That’s it. The next post will bring us back to Epcot and I think it’s going to be a long one. Lots of pictures from the last stop at Epcot. After that there will be another day at Hollywood Studios and then I think that’s it.

Florida Recap Post – The Seventh

We went to Magic Kingdom in the morning then we went back to the hotel to rest up then we went back to Magic Kingdom for an after hours event. This post ends at the resting up at the hotel thing. Enjoy.

Who is the dude on the left and how did he end up in the picture like this?

Back at the hotel, just before sunset, Harry and I were hanging out on the patio so I took a few film pics. Then I took a bunch of digital pics.

Next up is Magic Kingdom at night including fireworks.

Fireworks

Disney+ had a live broadcast of the fireworks at Epcot tonight. Jen and I watched the whole thing. It was more of a concert video than a fireworks show, but it was fun.

I mentioned before that we are planning on going to Orlando in January. Watching this thing tonight has taken our excitement level for the trip and shot it through the roof.

Jen is a Disney nut. I really am not, but I do enjoy going to the resort. I mean, there is a Star Wars area… they made it just for me. Still, I am feeling it just as much as she is. I suppose it could be partly due to the fact that we’ve been locked down for 2.5 years and haven’t even considered a trip anywhere. The last trip we went on was in February 2020. That was Disneyworld too. We got home just a few days before the real world came to its screeching halt.

The idea of going back is pretty much taking hold of both of us. The excitement is getting silly, and we’re still almost six months away.
