Life Walt Disney World - Page 12

Brianfo · 01-11-2006, 12:01 PM

My wife and I will be taking 2 small children to Walt Disney World in Florida in 2 weeks. I get to go as a bonus thru my work. We are staying at the Hilton. My question is what is the weather like down there in January? Any good ideas on what to see and do with twins that are 2 years old? I am kind of looking forward to it. A chance to get out of Iowa in January. Oh well, enought blabbing. Any responses are greatly appreciated.

Splash mountain is a water ride where you go through a long, somewhat boring stretch similar to 'It's a small world' on a smaller scale and southern based. Then at the end you have a big, outdoor drop which more than makes up for the first part of the ride.

Muppet's 3D is great. I've seen it countless times and still enjoy it!

Oh, that one. Yes, we rode that. It was alright. We also liked that train roller coaster ride. Oh, and another thing we liked about the Magic Kingdom is the parades. We caught the afternoon parade and the night parade (with all the lights).

Yes, Thunder Mountain is an oldie-but-goodie. Hopefully you were able to catch the laser show at Epcot and Fantasmic at TPFKA-MGM.

First walking into Magic Kingdom. My daughter and niece at the bottom of the pic.

Yes and yes. They were both pretty cool.

My nephew (blonde) and my middle son standing in front of Buzz.

Caught Mickey looking right at us.

Me holding my daughter on my shoulders watching the night parade.

**Lzen** · 07-08-2008, 08:36 AM

All the lighting was really cool for the young ones.

Did you make them wear Jayhawk gear everyday?

Those boys have been brought up properly. I don't have to make them wear it. They choose to wear it.

The funny thing is that my nephew has been raised by my in laws. My FIL is a KSU graduate.

Here is the dreaded Tower of Terror. Duh duh duuuuuhhhhh!!!! BTW, this ride is really fun. That is, if you don't mind being dropped several stories in an elevator and back up again and dropped several times, at random, in the dark. I think we must have ridden this one about 3 or 4 times.

**Lzen** · 07-08-2008, 08:53 AM

BTW, I am gonna post a lot of these pics for people who may not have seen Disney. This year was my first time and I was impressed.

Here is a bit of what Disney is all about with their rides. It's not just waiting in line. There is a lot of stuff to keep you interested. Their rides are themed.
Note: Universal Studios is the same way.
This is a pic inside the Tower of Terror before you get on the ride.

Another pic inside the Tower.
