We're on holiday!!

Yes, we've finally arrived and had 3 days in the park and my wife has had her 40th birthday! Can I go home now? No. Not yet. Another 14 days to go!

Here's the story thus far...

2nd Nov : Travel to airport.

Ok, kids excited. Left on time. So far so good. Read the instructions on how to get to airport parking. They were wrong. Ended up asking directions from another airport parking place. They had a huge bundle of "How to get to the other airport parking place cos their instructions are crap" fliers. Finally arrive at the parking place only to find out that the car is overheating.Effing great. Just make it into the BA part of the airport with 1 hour to go. Check in was very good. Very fast. Well done BA! Flight leaves bang on time. Reasonable food. TV entertainment was ok (Wife loved "Mama Mia!" Arrived in Orlando on time. Immigration was great. Friendly guys there corrected the mistakes on my Visa Waiver form etc. Got free upgrade to rental car.Got a Chrysler 300, whatever that is. It's huge. Comes with its own swimming pool and helicopter landing pad. Drove to the villa in Davenport. It's amazing, but the amount of people who drive on the wrong side of the road and who keep meeping their horns. Arrive at villa. Everybody knackered and falls asleep immediately.

3rd November & 4th November:

Woke up and went to Animal Kingdom. Various stuff to do. Liked the Safari, the various 3d type shows (It's tough to be a bug is fantastic!), Kali river rapids (you will get soaked!), and Dinosaur! are great. The worst was the global warming place called Rafiki's Planet Watch. Urgh. Various other things were good but there is a definite Greenie theme going on. Supposedly the weakest park in the portfolio.

5th November:

Big 40th Birthday for The Wife (tm). Went to the Magical Kingdom. Much more fun. There's a number of rollercoasters (went on the Big Thunder Mountain Railway, still have to go on Space Mountain), a log flume ride called Splash Mountain, a couple of 3D things. Once of which is the "Mickey's PhilharMagic" thing. Good 3D effects. Would love to know how they do it.I'm pretty red/green knackered but even I managed to see everything. For some reason, the Peter Pan ride (which was pretty overrated IMO) had a wait time of 50 mins! Kids met Belle and Belle (mine) queued up after the storytime to "meet" her. She loved it. Saw the daytime parade. Kids were overwhelmed! It is certainly a big thing!
