Update from Orlando

Well, it turns out we're heading home tomorrow and I have yet to share our adventures. We arrived in Orlando late on Thursday night and despite the jet lag, hit Disney World MGM bright and early. We started with two quick trips on the Tower of Terror and then moved to the Rock 'n Rollercoaster. We alternated between these two most of the day and by the end of the day had logged 5 and 4 rides respectively. We also saw an exhilirating stunt action show with trick cars, motorcycles and fire! It was a really fun day but we didn't get much rest.

We spent most of Saturday driving north to Tallahassee to see the Dady family and stayed overnight. I'll share more about this part of the trip later. Monday marked our return to DisneyWorld where we proceeded to dominate the new Everest Expedition rollercoaster at Animal Kingdom (several times) before heading to Epcot for Test Track and Soarin. The weather went sour on Tuesday so we laid low and caught up on some badly needed rest. We had an ultra tasty lunch at Fuddruckers, did some shopping at the Ron Jon Surf Shop and rounded out the night at a $0.75 theater. Yes, that's right! We only paid $1.50 for Kari and I both to see Nanny McPhee.

Today we started with room service breakfast and took off to Universal Studios: Islands of Adventure. I left the camera in the car, but you're not missing much. They had a few great coasters, but all-in-all, it just doesn't stack up to a Disney park.
