Life Walt Disney World - Page 16

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.

The tree.

**Lzen** · 07-08-2008, 02:02 PM

Hippos and crocs, and rhinos, oh my!

I thought it was really cool that we were up close to these wild animals.

**Lzen** · 07-08-2008, 02:03 PM

Is this tree lady a real person or animatronic? I could not tell.

**Lzen** · 07-08-2008, 02:04 PM

Mmmmmmm, delicious turkey legs.

**Lzen** · 07-08-2008, 02:06 PM

Expedition Everest was another one of the really cool rides, IMO. You go up into the mountain on the train (roller coaster) in search of the Yeti, a.k.a. abominable snowman. The fun starts when you find him.

They even had a petting zoo. Don't ask me what my nephew was about to do to this goat.

This is another example of how they conceal what their rides are from the outside. The only thing this ride says is Dinosaur Institute. It is the travel back in time to the Jurassic Era and get chased by dinos that want to eat you ride.

That's a lady in a costume on stilts with hand stilts also.

Did you see her bush?

I thought the tower of terror had random drops.

Now it does. The ride was better when it first opened and the drops, while not random, were longer and setup better.

We're pretty locked into going the week BEFORE Thanksgiving. Anyone been there around that time? Crowded or not? I'd think not (which is a big part of the point of going then...).

Got 2 little ones -- 7-1/2 and 4-1/2 years old at that point.

I've gone the week of Thanksgiving a few times and it's always been fun. Not too crowded, so I doubt the week prior will draw larger crowds. It CAN get cold (especially at night) during that time of the year, so stay on top of the forecasts and at least pack windbreakers. That's a great age to take the kids. We went a few times with my 2 little cousins when they were ages 2-7 and they LOVE Disney World. At that age their favorite park will undoubtedly be Magic Kingdom and then probably Animal Kingdom.

The one bummer is the "Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights" at TPFKA-MGM doesn't open until Nov. 28th this year. That's usually a great night-time activity late November - early January.

Lzen, it sure looks like you stole all my pics from my trip. We had a great time, but we will never go back in June or any other summer month. It was humid as hell. Here's my pic of the ToT.
