30/10 before 11am did we check out of the hotel, and get on moving down south to the next hotel called Casablanca. This hotel was mostly like the previous one, only abit difference, thats all. The pool was bigger tho :) That day did we go down to Miami that is just abit south from where the hotel was and visited Miami Ink, a Tatoo store that has its own TV show if u didnt know that. Later that day did we just relax at the pool before we went to sleep.

31/10 is the last complete day we are here before we leaving tomorrow, and we are just gona relax and just enjoy our self before we going bk home to the cold, brr gonna freeze so much… hehe

Not looking forward to the looong trip home, but will be good to get home again, we are leaving on sunday at the middle of day and will get home sometime on monday nite…One of all rivers/lakes that Florida have

26/10 the weather was too warm to do anything special so most of the day did we stay at the hotel pool and relax, but on the night did we follow the ocean walk and visited a resturant on the way back to the hotel :)

27/10 did they say the weather should be bad and rain and stuffs, so we decided to go down to Miami and check more closer at the hotel were we was gona check in at on friday later this week, we did mostly just drive around look at the hotel check at some stores saw how they was and so on, we went into Hooters (a resturant) and also passed by Dolphins Stadium on the way back from Miami, but otherwise than that didnt we do much at all.

When we came back to the hotel was the weather better just abit windy but didnt mind that :) so we stayed at the pool the rest of the day and relax.

28/10 did we go north to check out the harbour, the boats there was amazing, when u first saw the harbour where all boats was couldnt u see water anywhere, just boats after boats , almost every private house after the water did have atleast one boat where it was atleast 2 floor on it.

After that trip north did we go somewhere to eat before we went bk to the hotel to rest the rest of the day.

24/10 After the first day we arrived did eat a much better breakfast than we did at the other hotel and after that did we drive around in Fort Lauderdale to check it out abit, why we didnt stay at the beach that day was because it was raining, (sure the rain was warm but nah didnt feel for bein at the beach when it was raining so took the opportunity to check the town out abit).

By the way the hotel is just 20 meters from the beach, if I havent mention this before hehe

When we came bk from the “little car trip” did we take a walk at the ocean walk just to look at the neighbourhood and the beach and we finished the night at a restaurant close to the hotel that had really good nachos :)

25/10 After having our breakfast, did we go and relax on the beach as the weather was much better.

It was wonderful, the sea was well let me put it this way, u didnt need to freeze even if it was windy :)

That day did we eat all meals in our hotel room, but it was really gd anyway to eat something home made for a change. And we also finished that day with taking a walk on the ocean walk.

Now Im gona eat and relax at the hotel pool, cheers!

23/10 did we leave Orlando to Fort Lauderdale, but on the way there did we make a spin-off to visit Kennedy Space Center, so after around 40 min drive did we see the big sign to our first goal.

When we entered Kenney Space Center did we see big different rockets they had fired up in space on the left side and thought that was cool so we went there to check it out more closely. It was all from the first rocket they fired up to rockets they fire these days all in different sizes and didnt look alike much at all.

After that did we check a film about the first space station that was put into earths orbit, how they manage the create it, and how they expand it more and more every part from the start.

After the movie did we enter and see how it was in a cargo hold in a space shuttle and cockpit, that werent big at all. Later did we grab something to eat before we took the car and drove south to Fort Lauderdale where we arrived at the hotel 3 and ½ hour later.

22/10 was we at Sea World, while at Sea World did begin to go and see the stingrays in the Stingray Lagoon where u could feed and pat them, later did we go to the dolphins and they was really cool. They played around in their water, flipped around each others and let people pat the from time to time and u could go to an underwater view and see closer on them.

We also watched manatee (sea cow is another word for them) and next to them did we watch some alligators that was relaxing in the water. After that did we go to the penguins and they was really cool hehe.

They were swimming around in their tank,  jumped around and showing off. The kids was all exiting watching them and it was all kind of different penguins in the same place so it was hard to see who was who except from the king penguins that was alot bigger than the others.

After the visit at the penguins did we go to the seals, they was really cool, my favorite animal at Sea World tbh, they was laying there in the water playing with each others, relaxing and took the park guests attentions.

Next the the seals place did they have like a stand where u could buy fish to feed them with, and every time people threw a fish to them did it always come birds that tried to grab it in the air, hehe was really funny to see if the seals got the fish or not, most of it did they get ofc :)

When we left the seals did we go on to the shark encounter, there did we see all kind of sharks and even soe i didnt know about before and one of them was zebra Shark that had the same color as a leopard and a very very long tail.

When we was done there did we go and see the show with Shamu, a killer whale, and as it seems was it the highlight in the park, it was really cool and first of did some “trainers” dive with some killer whales and did some tricks with them, in the end did the biggest killer whale come in called Shamu.

He did some different trick and at the same time soak half the audience that was sitting in the “soak zone”. Hehe luckly was me and my dad abit to far up on the stage to get wet, 2 rows in front of us got complete soaked hehe.

 

After the show did we go and grab something to eat and then went for the ride called “Journey to the Atlantis”. This ride was like Flume Ride in the theme park in Gothenburg, Sweden where u get all wet, but this one was much worse.

The boats had room with 8 people, me and my dad got the places in front. first it was a soft start but at first drop that only was 2 meters lol even at 2 meters did I get my shoes all wet haha… Just imagen wot happened when we came to the drop that was 20 meters, hehe after that drop was my dad and my self complete wet strait thru into our underpants haha, I say this, that ride was the best water splash ride I have ever tried out lol.

After the ride did we go and see some antarctic animals like white whales and a polar bear that was really cool :)

We finished the day off with a seal show where it was pirates looking for a treasure and 2 characters that was with the pirates was seals and they acted very good and follow the exact move as they should do. When the show was over did we make our way to the car and went back to the hotel.

I have been at the places Disney’s Magic Kingdom, Disney Hollywood Studios, Epcot and Disney Downtown…

The place I enjoyed most was Epcot and Hollywood Studios, both was really exiting and entertain full. Both places wasnt to childish like Magic Kingdom that seemed more suitable for kids but was fun in one way :)

Magic Kingdom is a perfect place if u go on a family trip everyone will enjoy it in some way or another and it’s always alot of things to do.

Downtown Disney was on the day a shopping mall and a little bit entertainment and on the night did it seem like a party place and a night club.

Hollywood Studios is interesting and very entertain full and it was alot to experience and see.

Epcot is also interesting and u learn alot about technology if u didnt know it before and alot about other countries.

 

So all together is Disney World a entertain full place, with alot for kids to learn and even if ur not a kid anymore can it make u abit childish in the end (just look at my dad when we was there hehe, really amazing) Its alot to do and u need atleast 3 days, depends how u are, to be satisfied with the visit on the places I was at.

22/10 we decided just to relax and dont do anything special today so Downtown Disney was a good choice to check out so we went there :)

We parked on the west part of Downtown, and begun to walk thru part by part, first it was more rides and entertainment, later on did we come into a night club area that was closed at this time aday, and in the end did we end up in like a shopping mall, where u could buy all kind of stuffs.

Otherwise than this wasnt it much more to see but suited perfect for a relaxing day :)

20/10 did we go to Epcot in Disney World. It was a really cool place, abit more high tech from the other places that I had bin to and I enjoyed it alot.

When u first came in do u see a big ball just like the Globe in Sweden but it looks abit more high tech, inside was it a ride that showed the evolution of the man kind and it was really fascinating

After that did we go to some other rides and shows that was all okay and really cool too, but the first one was the best. In Epcot did they also have some world country places, u walked around a big lake and around this lake did some countries and their own space where they presented different stuffs about them self.

Epcot was a really entertainment place, where u learned alot of technology if u didnt know before and other countries. I have enjoyed all places alot but think this one did i enjoy most from where I have been yet.

19/10

Later on the day did we take the bus to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, when we came in first of all was the parade at the entrance so u could go anywhere because of the crowd. So first we waited and followed the parade abit as they moved, the parades theme was Monsters Ink.

When the parade was over did we just walk around to see what everything was and where we was gonna eat as we became to get really hungry, finally we found a movie drive in, where u was going back into the 60ths and ur table was in a model car and in the front of the room was it a big movie screen that showed old black and white shows, really cool if u ask me, and the food there was wonderful.

After the drive in did we go to the Indiana Jones show that was the highlight of the of the day if u ask me :)

The show was about how they made special effects and much more in the movies, and they showed alot of examples like exploding cars, the cave and the rolling rock that was with in the first Indiana movie.

After the show did we go to some other rides and show for example was one a Star Wars ride where u was in a flight simulation, really cool and well fun. Well I am abit of a Star Wars fan so not much to say there hehe

We also went on a show where they showed us more about how they was creating characters, and in the end did we end up in a gallery where they showed old pictures they had used when they was drawing everything in the Disney movies they had done.

Hollywood Studios was really fun and entertaining, it was alot to see and alot of stores if u wanted to buy and take with u some souvenirs.

One day was to short so the afternoon the day after did we go back and finish of what we missed :)

19/10 did we go back to Disney worlds Magic Kingdom where we was the night before, but now was it early on the day…

It looked  alot different now when u could se everything more clearly, now first when we entered the gates did we se Pluto and Daisy that was taking photos with guests and it was loooong lines to join in the fun.

We stayed in Magic Kingdom for half the day before we continued Disney Hollywood Studios. In the Magic Kingdom did we finish of the rides we didnt have time to do the night before.

Under the time we was in Magic Kingdom did we see some characters like Goofy, Donald Duck and Mimi. I didnt enjoy Magic Kingdom as much as I thought I would but it was really fun anyway :)

(my opinion about all the diffrent places in Disney World will come in a couple of posts later :) when I have bin at all places)
