Disney Vacation (Disney LO #11)

All summer long I had been hard at work planning our trip to Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Day in and day out you saw me sitting at the computer researching and compiling information about the attractions, entertainment, hotels, and restaurants. I told you that I was doing this research as a favor to Maria because she was going to Disney World and didn’t have time to do her own research, which was partially true.

I desperately wanted to tell you, but decided against it because you would be too wound up all summer long, and wouldn’t be able to sleep or eat as the vacation date grew closer.

I had to sneak around to get things done without rousing your suspicion, but it worked!

You were both incredulous when, an hour before we had to leave for the airport, we told you that you were both going with me on a DISNEY VACATION! Liam had a huge grin on his face; Kaylie was really emotional so she cried.

Tower of Terror (Disney Layouts 7, 8 and 9

*The Twighlight Zone  Ghosts at the Tower of Terror

Text along pathway leading to the elevator entrance where ghosts are waiting to hunt you: "The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at Walt Disney World, Orlando. This is a terrific, scary ride based on a 1939 incident where 5 people were transported into the Twilight Zone when the elevator that they were riding was hit by lightning. These are the ghosts that inhabit it now. Sept.15-Sept. 20, 2010."

 **Tower of Terror: Facing Your Fear

This is a picture from Disney's Hollywood Studios The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror attraction. On the way up the tower, the elevator stops at one of the floors and the doors open to reveal a corridor populated by the ghostly occupants from 1939 in the above photo, who then disappear.
The corridor fades to a starlit night sky, except the window at the end of the corridor. The window then morphs into a more ghostly black-and-white version and shatters like in the opening segment of each episode.

Kaylie, Emanuel and I went on this attraction, while Liam and Elizabeth stayed behind. Kaylie and Emanuel were eager to ride it until we boarded the elevator, the room blacked out and the twilight zone theme started playing on the overhead TV. As we walked towards the entrance to the elevator/ride, Emanuel kept saying that he was scared and wanted to back out, but I wouldn’t let him. Every time he saw an exit sign his eyes would light up After the ride was over, Emanuel claimed that he hadn’t been scared. Kaylie, on the other hand, was in tears. She absolutely hated the drops!

Delightfully Frightful
**Here we are in front of the Hollywood Tower of Terror. We hear that it is a thrilling and scary ride. Kaylie, Emanuel and I want to ride it, but Liam and Elizabeth do not. Apparently, Liam is not keen on the idea of getting inside a “malfunctioning” elevator or being in the presence of ghosts.

Monkey / Gorilla / Animal Kingdom (Disney LO 5&6)

On our way to Africa, we came across a Discovery Kid Club station with a ranger who helps kids learn about nature and animals. Kaylie and Liam got a pin and a stamp on their Discovery Kid passport.
The ranger asked Kaylie and Liam to look at the bouncing animals in a nearby exhibit and asked them if they knew the difference between a monkey and a gorilla. They learned that monkeys have tails, but gorillas do not.

Disney Photos, Day 1, Part 1

Click on the image to enlarge.

It has taken me a while to unwind from my Disneyworld trip. I was a nervous wreck from the time that I paid for the trip back in May, until I finally arrived at Disney World in September. Once there, my adrenaline took over and I was on non-stop auto pilot. This was my first vacation trip in 12 years and I had 2 kids in tow. :)

I will come back later on to elaborate on the picts. and tell you the story. 10735

Flat Kaylie

Those of you with children in school will probably know about the "Flat Stanley" story.

Kaylie's school used the concept to create their own version of the Flat Stanley doll which they then sent to a relative. Kaylie sent her doll to her cousin Kayla in Florida. Kaylie was so excited to get it in the mail. She got her doll back, along with a Flat Kaylie Diary detailing her travels, activities and feelings. We even got pictures and souveniers back. Thank you, Evelyn and Kayla, for doing this for Kaylie. She loved it! 3672

P.S. Evelyn, I sent the stuff out on Tuesday, you should receive it today.
