Hi all from the land of beautiful sunshine. Well today was a little cloudy and out of those clouds came a little rain.
So anyways today we found our way to get to the parks. No it was not a shuttle but walking walking walking. Well not too much.
Up this morning around 7:30. Had a little snack out of the groceries we bought yesterday. Didn't need too much just a little something to get us through the morning.
We then started our trek. First we went down to the lobby to see what the villa had for continental breakfast.. No not much. Just a bit of bread and muffins and coffee, which we don't drink anyways.
So now all sun blocked up for a few hours we head out to take a bit of a walk. Hoping not to get caught on Disney property walking where we are not suppose to walk.well 20 minutes later we are at the parking lot for animal kingdom. Walked along a road with no sidewalk on. Then across a bit of a field over to another road without sidewalks. Then through the animal kingdom gate and across a parking lot. BIG parking lot. Well no one stopped us so that is good. For walking and not driving in. We get to the area where pickup is done. You know you Take your life in your own hands walking these streets. Drivers don't give a dang about pedestrians here. You can cross a busy road at a cross walk and cars just keep coming and pull out ahead of you. You walk along the side of the road and they are just a zoomin by. You want to try to cross somewhere and no one stops for you. So have to watch every where you are walking. Lovely.
So no are in the parking lot and find a tram that will take you over to the gate. Hope on and take a little ride. Aw!!! Not walking. Off the tram we get and make our way to the bus shuttle that will go to the different parks. As soon as we find the right bus we are on our way. Yes Disney park here we come.
The ride took about 15 minutes. Out of this park along the highway and into Disney area. Now. Off the bus and more walking. Well not too much as yet. We have to get on a mono rail or a steamboat to get to the entrance. So we take the steam boat as the line up is not as long. Across the lake we go. Off on the other side and now the walking begins again.
Bag check first. I made a suggestion to see if they would like seeing a pair of dirty undies in there. Na wouldn't do it. Then fast tracked to a ticket person as we had tickets to get in. Love the air miles. Got us into Disney as well.
So now into the park and off we go to the train. Old steam train that goes around the outside of the park and makes two other stops. So we ride it around all the way just to check out. Do not see much but a few statues of deer and native villages. We got off at frontier land. And started our walking.
I went on some rides. Well not big impressive rides. Pirates of the Caribbean , the paddle boat, went into the bear jamboree and the jungle cruise. You see I can go on rides and not just walk. Went over to hucks island and wandered it. Hubby took me into a cave. I got lost in there since I could not see. Hey I am over here just come this way. Where the hell are you I can't see you. Just go straight of bang I walked into a wall. Great. That was fun. Glad I was out of there.
Back off that island and now just wandering around. Take a trip on the train a couple more times during the day. Just to get a sit down for a minute or two. See the parade go down Main Street. Then sit in front of Cinderella castle and wait for a show they are putting on there. Mickey, Minnie, goofy and Donald. Making dreams come true. So now starting to get later so decide it is time to head out.
Check out the stores on the way up. They have these collector pins. You buy a lanerd and put these pins on. Then you trade and buy more pins to put on this lanerd. Seemed kinda interesting. You can also if you are a kid get a autograph book to get signed by all the characters in the park. Something to keep the kids interested.
Anyways the long trek back to animal kingdom. First we take the monorail back to the parking lot. From there onto a shuttle bus to take us back to animal kingdom. Ten minutes later back there. From there have to take a tram back to part of parking lot that we can get off and walk across parking lot. Oh oh there is security over there. Should we walk or not. As we got closer one of them drove up by us. The jig is up. Are we suppose to walk here or not. He just rolled down his window and said be carful walking. Ew!!! Now back through the field onto one road and then crossing the busy road and then onto another road. 20 minutes later back at area we are suppose to be at.
Supper at Denny's and then back to room were I can catch dancing with the stars. Yeah am addicted to that.
Well hip is sore. Feet are dirty but finally I am sitting down and relaxing for the night.
Tomorrow another trip over to animal kingdom and then catch a shuttle to Epcot centre. Oh my poor feet and knees and hips. I am starting to feel them now. Will I make it through the rest of the week doing this walking thing. Well time will tell or I will be bunged up for sure.
Talk again tomorrow. After the trip to Epcot. Hopefully I can keep hubby away from the idea of looking at a time share. It seems that is what is wanted here. But if I can get out of doing it and just enjoying without having any sales person trying to sell us a time share. I know you can have a free prize for looking but we do not have a car to get to any of those places. That would just be more walking walking walking. And I do not think I need too much more walking then what I am already doing.
So enough for tonight. Tell you of my adventures tomorrow.
