Disney World!!

Disney World!!
Pure. Unadulterated. Fun.

Well we just got back from a week at one of the 3 most wonderful places in the world. That Walt Disney sure did outdo himself! If you recall, Carrie received Disney World tickets for her anniversary present back in October and we finally got to go. We can tick that off our Cubo Lista (our bucket list) as well! We have some family that lives in Orlando so we had free room and board. We are using the money we saved on a hotel room as a down payment for our goat ranch.

We spent 5 days at the parks. And it was not warm. In fact, I do believe Orlando set a record low (like 31 degrees) while we were there. We had to wear our huge jackets, toboggans and gloves half the time. The other half we just walked around naked.

If you haven't been to D-World in the past 2 weeks then I can be the first to inform you of their newest exhibit at Animal Kingdom: the Dinosaur Petting Zoo! Using blood from a prehistoric petrified mosquito, scientists at Disney were able to extract Dino DNA and create real dinosaurs!! (haven't you seen Jurassic Park??) To be completely honest it was a little dangerous. Some kid got eaten so we bailed.

Noob Tip: don't ride the intense version of Mission Space at Epcot unless you want to throw up and die.


Nathan just about lost his marbles when he saw the castle.


Italian Juggler McGee at Epcot.


The high that day was like 40.


Moroccan Madness via Epcot Central.


Nathan created this masterpiece using only a potato, a set of arms, an eyeball, an eyepatch, a Darth Vader helmet, a set of lips, nose, moustache, and a pair of high heels.


She liked it too.


The kid that got devoured at the Dino Petting Zoo.


Carrie's dream home. She's already drawing up blueprints.






We took a tour of the Grand Floridian and they had a pretty dominant gingerbread house. That gingerbread sign to the left reads:

Made of: 1,050 lbs. of Honey, 140 pints of Egg Whites, 600 lbs. of Powdered Sugar, 700 lbs. of Chocolate, 800 lbs. of Flour, 35 lbs. of Spices, Tons of Creativity, Disney Magic, and Pixie Dust.


Miss Mad Hatter.


Carrie just had to ride the Kali River Rapids at Animal Kingdom. And she was the only one in the raft that got completely soaked.


Apparently this guy got pretty wet as well. At least his pants did. (Yes he is down to his whitey tighties)


Tree of Life. 'Nuff said.


We went by Daytona Beach for a couple of hours on the way back home. Sunny and in the 70s.
