Packing Vlog



Just a silly (can be boring) blog about my packing process.  Sorry it took me so long to post.

Well I arrived in Orlando yesterday and after getting the rental car and heading to the hotel, my dad and I ate dinner at Sizzler's, went to Walmart to go shopping for household items (towels, laundry detergent, etc.), and drove by Vista Way (my new home :)).  I then crashed when we got to the hotel room haha.  Woke up this morning around 8:30am, got ready, ate breakfast at the Ponderosa buffet, and made our way to Magic Kingdom.  Amazing!!!  You have to drive through what I call the "Disney Freeway" to get to the big huge sign that says "Magic Kingdom".  Then there are tons of Transportation cast members that tell you exactly where to park.  Then you board a tram (you don't want to walk, its a mile and a half) that takes you to the ticket and transportation center.  There we picked up our tickets at will call and boarded a ferry boat that took us across a huge lake to the park (yes it's on the other side of a lake and yes that is uber cool.  there is a lot of water in florida....) The day was amazing.  No long lines and we did everything we wanted to.  Even rode space mountain 3 times!!!  It was weird though.  The only way I can explain this park was that it was a mixture of being completely different from disneyland and being exactly the same to a fine detail.  Like pirates was exactly the same just the scenes in the beginning were kinda mixed up. Same with Jungle Cruise.  Tiki Room was shortened somehow.  Splash Mountain had more mini drops.  However, I felt like Peter Pan's Flight was an EXACT replica of that in Disneyland.  It's a Small World was like a mini it's a small world haha.  I went on the Peoplemover and the Carousel of Progress was pretty cool.  It was funny when I went on Space Mountain because since I've been on the one in Disneyland so many times its like my body knows exactly where all the turns and stuff are so when I went on this one, I could feel my body bracing for it to go one way and then it would do something completely different.  There are also a lot more drops on that one.  I also noticed that like EVERY ride has a fast pass.  weird.....

Anyways, great day and I'm really tired and I'm gonna get like no sleep.  It's 1:15am and I have to wake up at 5am to be at Vista at 6am, sucks..... oh well.  Ill post another blog when I have my next vlog about my first few days here!!! (by the way, the whether here is weird.....)
