Sherman's March to the Sea Ha...We DID Disney


Planning a trip to Disney is like a Military Operation.  After shopping around for the “best price” you come to find out that Disney just doesn’t need to discount their tickets.  People will pay because it is Disney.
So even though our 7 day ticket for 3 adults to Universal Studios and with Wet “N” Wild included was cheaper, you just can’t NOT do Disney!  We watched the Disney Channel for Orlando and found the 7 top attractions.  We thought we could do IT.
The PLAN was 3 adults, 1 day, 4 Parks.  The day started early with breakfast at Perkins.  Hey you got to carb- up for all the walking.  Then we headed to the Magic Kingdom.  The young girl at the ticket counter was astonished at our plan.  Armed with maps of the 4 parks we established the closing time of each park and started the attack at 0930.
I can tell you that we made 3 parks.  We decided to blow off Disney Studios.  So what did we ride?
1. Splash Mountain
2. Big Thunder Mountain
3. Space Mountain
4. Pirates of the Caribbean
5. The Haunted Mansion
6. Spaceship Earth
7. Mission Space
8. Soarin’
9. Kali River Rapids
10. Expedition Everest-Legend of the forbidden Mountain
It may not look like many rides, but let me tell you Expedition Everest Rocked.  We saw the Yeti!  In Soarin’ we were hang gliding.  Even though I am terrified of heights I managed to enjoy the sights and sounds. Truly amazing.  Mission Space we got to fly a rocket ship to Mars.  Closed dark spaces, spinning and crash landing were just some of the things we overcame.
We got back to the hotel and ordered a pizza.  We still need to get to the Chinese Buffet.  May-be tomorrow?  Right now my piernas need some hot water and then elevation.
What a GREAT DAY!  Thanks Walt…..
