So, we got off the cruise ship and said to ourselves..."Do we really want to go back to Virginia? Or would we rather look around Florida and enjoy the warmth and see if maybe we'd be interested in moving to Florida (we do intend to move South but haven't decided on exactly where)? Guess what we picked? Virginia.
NOT! We decided to stay in Florida for a bit longer. We drove to the west coast of Florida to Ft. Myers and visited with a friend of mine who I had not seen in years. Then we drove up to Tampa and spent some time with my Grandmother and Aunt. Then we decided to go to Walt's place (aka Disney World). We ended up doing Epcot the first day, Animal Kingdom the second day, and Magic Kingdom the third (and final) day.
While at Epcot we learned that our daughter was not as fearless as we thought she was. While on the "Test Track" she decided she didn't like fast rides anymore. Keep in mine it went 60 mph for maybe 10 seconds and the rest was probably no faster than 35 mph. After that, daughter and I ended up doing everything together and Daddy and son went off and did some of the fast rides together. The day was ended with the fireworks and laser spectacular.
The Animal Kingdom was all about my daughter. She LOVES all things animals. The rides tended to be a bit more tame because they were designed to go through animal habitats so there was only one ride she didn't do that the guys did so it was a good day. Animal Kingdom also closes earlier than the other parks which was good because of how long our day had been at Epcot.
Magic Kingdom was of course the favorite day for all of us. We'd all gotten into a groove and had figured out the best rides for each kid. It didn't hurt that they have many more rides to choose from (even with a few of them being closed for renovations - the downside of going "off season"). Mommy also got to ride a few of the bigger rides with son while daughter rode a tamer ride with Daddy.
