THE "BOOK"! Ginny keeps a folder for each trip of all the important information, agenda, maps, receipts, etc. Makes putting together a web site of the trip so very much easier.

MCO - Orlando International, a really nice airport, no doubt inspired by Disney, even has a monorail..Wouldn't exist without Disney putting Orlando on the map. Before Disney, a swamp in the middle of Florida, after Disney "the number one tourist attraction on the earth."

This is too nice! Must be a MISTAKE??? We booked through Southwest Airlines and requested a King bed. What we got was "Magical Memories" and a reservation at Royal Palm Bay condos in Kissimmee, FL. It was awesome. And all for only $64.50 per day.

2013_05_01_14_28_00_10 - Fri Feb 6 16:53:45 2015

Walt Disney World has monorails, ferryboats, motor launches, courtesy trams, bus services, and water taxis. On the average, 200,000 Guests ride the various forms of "mass transit" every day which are busiest 8:00 am - 10:30 am. Walt Disney World has more than 750 watercraft. There are 14.7 lane miles of elevated beamway for 12 monorails, and 167 lane miles of paved roads for approximately 200 buses. Since 1971, the miles logged by the monorails would be equal to more than 44 round trips to the moon. The buses cover almost 12 million miles every year. That's enough to drive around the earth (at the equator) more than nine times each week! The total number of buses running simultaneously can reach as many as 185. One bus has been driven more than 1.3 million miles (with different engines).

Beast's castle is home to New Fantasyland's much anticipated restaurant, Be Our Guest. The French-inspired menu is complemented by a Magic Kingdom first: beer and wine. It's the first time ever that alcohol is being served in the Magic Kingdom.

Follow the howls of the wolf to the special effects and ghostly gags of the Haunted Mansion, 999 happy haunts, but there's always room for one more! This popular attraction starts to line up outdoors under a canopy. The mansion itself is of the gothic style reminiscent of the 18th Century Hudson River Valley structures. An interactive queue takes guests through a graveyard with gravestones and interactive crypts paying tribute to Imagineers involved in creation of the attraction. This area will help pass the time as the line can grow to be extremely long during peak seasons. As you approach the mansion, butlers and maids (always in character) greet you at the door and escort you into the library (or stretching room, does the ceiling go up or does the floor go down?) Guests move on to the awaiting Doom Buggies for their journey through the mansion. This ride tells the story of a Black Widow bride and her many husbands.

2013_05_02_20_44_04_10 - Sat Feb 7 15:32:39 2015

"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! The Magic Kingdom proudly presents our spectacular festival pageant of nighttime magic and imagination. In thousands of sparkling lights, and electro-synthe-magnetic musical sounds: the Main Street Electrical Parade!" And Ginny is ready and waiting right up front . . . so she can see without any heads in front of her.

2013_05_02_20_44_22_10 - Sat Feb 7 15:32:20 2015

Waiting area. This looks like a good place to watch the Main Street Electric Parade from.

2013_05_02_20_46_26_10 - Sat Feb 7 14:40:37 2015

And the parade begins. The parade is notable for its electronic musical soundtrack, all set to a 1960s tune called "Baroque Hoedown," and its use of a vocoder effect during the introductory and closing announcements. As I look at these pictures, that music is stuck in my head . . . and I love it. So happy! So Magical!

Florida's tropical waters are home to a great diversity of life and perhaps none are more rare and endearing than the manatee. These animals spend most of their time feeding (six to eight hours per day) and resting (two to twelve hours per day). All of the manatees at SeaWorld have been rescued by the park's animal rescue team and those who become healthy enough will be returned to their natural habitat.

2013_05_04_13_12_44_10 - Wed Feb 11 10:22:52 2015

With a legacy of animal rescue spanning more than 50 years and benefiting more than 24,000 animals, responding to wildlife in crisis is a commitment they take to heart. Working in partnership with state, local, and federal agencies, their rescue teams are on call 24/7 assisting animals that are orphaned, ill, injured or in need of expert care. Their goal is to successfully rehabilitate animals for return to the wild. The small percentage of animals whose injuries are too debilitating to permit release are given lifelong care.

Annual Flower & Garden Festival. Ginny's favorite time to go to EPCOT. So many ideas for our Butterfly Garden!!! Festival plants include 60 different species of trees, 47 palms, and 48 varieties of bedding plants. 400 Walt Disney World horticulturists are needed to install the festival landscape, topiaries and many exhibits. 100 EPCOT horticulturists maintain topiaries and other festival displays. It takes more than one full year and about 24,000 cast member hours to prepare for the annual festival.

2013_05_05_10_02_27_10 - Wed Feb 18 11:18:12 2015

Located in Epcot's Future World, Chip and Dale's Harvest Feast at the Garden Grill restaurant is one of the only places you'll find Mickey Mouse in Epcot — and certainly the only place you'll find Chip, Dale, and Pluto! These four characters provide the ample entertainment at this family-style restaurant! The food is served on platters here, so it’s an all-you-can-eat feast with your family; and since the beginning of EPCOT Center, this restaurant has had many different styles, but has always been a rotating circle of tables. Throughout your meal, you’ll see several of the different scenes from the Living with the Land ride below!

So funny. We drove around and did a little house hunting on the trip back to Orlando. We looked for For Sale signs and the first place we stopped we were greeted by these two property owners!

Stopped by "I Dream of Yogurt" for a sweet treat. They have great yogurt. We have been here before. Glad they are still in Cocoa Beach. Love this place. It is based on the series "I Dream of Jeanie" and show the series on a flat screen continually.
