My Disney World Favorites Week Day 4: Kilimanjaro Safaris

Mar9

Of all the things at Disney, Kilimanjaro safaris is one of the only if not the only you will never be the same each time you ride it. I love seeing all the animals.

My Disney Favorites Week Day 3: Be Our Guest

Mar7

I fell in love with this restaurant last year. The details from the movie are amazing. The ceiling of the ballroom is just like the ceiling in the movie and there is a snowing wall. The food is good too. You can even try the grey stuff. And meet the Beast at dinner.

My Disney Favorites Week Day 2: Toy Story Midway Mania

Mar6

This ride is so much fun. It’s a 3D ride of video arcade games. The goal is to be the high scorer in the car. The graphics are cute and it’s just a very fun little game.

Disney Week Day 7: The Ears, The Magic Bands, and Beyond

  • A must purchase at Disney is the Mickey ears.  Every where you look someone is wearing one of the hats or headbands.  I have sure spent my fair share or them.  I have purchased my fare of Mickey ears.  Last year I purchased four pairs and I purchased one more this year.
  • I loved the Magic Bands!  I thought they were a great idea and I think it has room to expand.  It was nice not to worry about loosing a plastic card that was your room key and entrance to the parks.  It was nice knowing your key to the world was right there on your wrist.  They did get a little hot and sweaty in the heat but still worth having it so handy.
  • I did not end up getting a Mickey’s Kitchen Sink Sundae.  I really wanted one but was never hungry enough for the ice cream.  I have a plan B though.
  • I went to Disney World as a kid but I find as I get older I like it more and want to go there more.

Disney Week Day 6: The Shopping

May31

Everywhere you look at Disney there is a gift shop.  Rides leave you off into gift shops.  Each resort has at least one gift shop.  Downtown Disney has the World of Disney, which is like a large Disney Store.   I think I bought everything that was not nailed down.  Good thing I had a lot of Disney Gift cards!  I did also purchase some gifts for other people.

Disney Week Day 5: The Food

May30

I have not had a bad meal at Disney.  I have had a few that were better than others but never horrible.  The past two years we have had the Deluxe Meal Plan, and you can eat with that plan.  With that in mind I planed to try as many new restaurants as we could but also hit some of the better ones from last year.  I’m glad we did we found a few new favorites.
