Note: Pictures are now at the end.
Mom & I took a quick trip to Florida over Labor Day weekend this year. We went to the beach, did some shopping, and spent a marathon day at Disney! Three parks in one day is something i don’t think i’ll repeat anytime too soon. We stayed at the Pop Century resort at Disney which was really great. Here are the pictures!
The first thing we always do when we get to Florida is go to the beach!
New Smyrna Beach was our “home” beach as a child and we always enjoy going back there to remember the “good ol’ days”…
After the beach, we had an adventure getting back to Orlando as we got some crazy thunderstorms. However, we made it and headed for Downtown Disney for some shopping and food. I love the Ghiradelli store!
The Pop Century resort at Disney is a great place to stay if you are doing the Disney thing! There are tons of families there but they keep it super clean and the transportation around the park was great as well. They have HUGE icons of the 50s-90s all over the place. Here are a few pictures:
Next it was off to Disney!! We started early in the day armed with our one-day hopper passes in hopes of getting three parks in! First stop: Animal Kingdom.
The animals really are wonderful there!
Next it was on to Epcot! We were only there for a couple of hours…. just long enough to want to come back!
We spent the longest time at MGM as i had never been there before. It was a fun park although i think we did it pretty fair justice in half a day. The park was open until midnight which helped us out a bit here.
We saw a few shows — this is the Indiana Jones stunt show.
The parade was a highlight — there were so many of our favorite characters, both new and old alike.
The fireworks were a blast as well, even though we almost got rained out! It was pouring and pouring but the weather cleared up just in time to have the show. We ate a late dinner afterwards and pretty much had the park to ourselves after that. It was a really fun trip as usual, although I will say it was HOT!!!!
