My Trip to Disney World – Epcot

I also stopped by Epcot when I was in Disney.

WARNING: Picture quality = utterly crap. Reason = crappity-crap-crap disposable camera. Sorry.

Okay, so I also hit Epcot when I was in the Disney area. It’s definitely one of my favorite parks

Here I am in front of Spaceship Earth with Tyler... ugh... why is she hugging me like that? Cooties!!!

So, what’s always the best place to start when in Epcot…

TEST TRACK!

Unfortunately, Tyler and I ended up in the very back of the car and decided not to buy the picture. Instead, I made a driver’s license! Oh yeah! After that, we rode Soarin. It was quite the funny experience this time. There was this family… either Norwegian or French… I don’t know. And they were like terrified of putting their bags in the “underseat compartments”, so they strapped themselves in with the bags. Then the French/Norwegian lady (who was rather large) started complaining because the seatbelt was too tight (well ya think??). Then the ride attendant person came over and was like, “I’m sorry, you can’t hold your bags. Please put them under your seat”. Of course they were like… NOooooooooOOooo!!! So the attendant snatched the bags from them and smished them under their seats. However, Mrs. French/Norwegian Lady Thing’s seatbelt was still too tight. So the attendant unlocked all of the seatbelts so she could adjust hers. That’s when Tyler took her flip-flops off. The French/Norwegian man was like “Oh no! They will disappear!”, and she was like, “They’ll be fine”. So when we came back down, the man was like telling everyone in the row that Tyler’s shoes were still there. Um… wow?

Next, we headed to the Living Seas. This is one of Tyler’s favorite places… she apparently has a thing going on with one of the dolphins. But you didn’t hear from me

You can't really see me... but squint and try to see a little orange blob in Tyler's right hand. Yeah, there I am!

“In the big blue world… I’m gonna go explore! In the big blue world! Things I’ve never seen before!” (Sorry Joey…and Mark)

Next, we headed to the World Showcase! Our first stop–France!

“]”]

I am the queen of France! [inside joke

Next, we checked out Morocco. Oh look! CAMELS!

…….

Haha… yeah… I don’t like camels anymore. *Wipes camel spit off face*

Anyways, Tyler and I headed to Japan next. There, we went into the super cool awesome Japanese store place and bought a pearl! YAY!

I'm kinda glad I let Tyler pick the oyster. We ended up getting this really cool blue pearl, apparently the "rarest beauty of all". Oooh... ahhh...

It was quite fun… the girl really liked her job. I mean REALLY.

I enjoyed the drums. Tyler didn't. Boo-hoo.

We then skipped “The American Adventure” (which, by the way, bothers me. can we please just call it the USA Pavilion? I mean really!). Italy just looked cooler.

Here we are making a wish at the fountain thing.. umm... the....the Trevi Fountain (ah... the wonders of Google...)

The next country we traveled to was Germany.

The only place I could find to take a pic was in a large pile of German Mickeys.

Then, we went to the little bongo, congo, “let’s advertise coca-cola” pavilion.

Here I am immensed in ice and coke. It was hot.

Then, there at the bridge from Coke-land to China… something insane happened.

This guy came over and was like, “I’m sorry, you can’t cross right now”. We thought it was a joke at first, but then he closed it off on both sides. All the people were confused and what-not… as was I. Then, the bridge started moving… it went up…. and up….. and up…

and up... and up.... and up... and... oh. it stopped!Then we saw little, no, not little, ginormous barges with explosives pass under the now vertical bridge.

Oh-no...

Then…

Epcot blew up. And I was the only survivor.

Just kidding.

They turned out to be the fireworks for Illuminations. Which, by the way, is an incredible show.

Anyways, we then went to…

China...

and Norway...

and Mexico! Like the sombrero??

Then… we had to leave. Forever.

Well not forever, but we had to go home. As in… on a plane… to Tyler’s house.

It was sad. And my hand fell off in her carry-on bag.

But she found it.

Yay!

My Trip to Disney World – Magic Kingdom

 Following my visit in Animal Kingdom, and that awesome luau, I headed to the Magic Kingdom.  I felt right at home, and seeing as anything can happen in the happiest place on earth, a living basketball wasn’t that weird.

I took this as I was walking down Mainstreet USA. Who's that orange stud in front of the castle?

I decided I wasn’t ready for any big rides yet.  So, I headed to the Haunted Mansion.  Apparently, there are 999 grim grinning ghosts in the mansion… but if they need one more… I’m not it!  As always, the ride broke down in the worst possible spot–the opera singing ghost.  If I had ears, they would have been bleeding.

The icing on top of the cake--the ghost carriage thing.

 After HM, I headed over to Space Mountain and got a fastpass.  Then, Tyler insisted we ride “it’s a small world after all” to kill time.  Not only did we kill time, but I almost killed her. 

"...where a smile means friendship to everyone..." Oh great. Now it's stuck in my head!!

 I then found myself very hungry.  So, I made Tyler take me to Comic Ray’s for lunch.  Mmm… delicious chicken tenders and awfully cheesy music…

 

"Yew Nork...blah blah...something about a caxi tab". Yeah, and let's not forget those awsome puns. Hehe. He...he.

 After stuffing my face listening to the musical stylings of Sonny Eclipse, I felt a little uneasy (and queasy) about riding Space Moutain right away.  So Tyler and I hopped on something we both enjoy.  Guess what it is?  I’ll give you a clue.  It has 3 different names.  The Blue Line Transit, the Tomorrowland Transit Authority, and the People Mover.  Yup! You either just guessed it, or realized that I told you the answer!

 

"...Now approaching SPACE MOUNTAIN..."

 

This makes me giggle. It's like engulfing her head. HAHAHAHAHA!

 My food had finally settled by the time we got off the ride.  But Tyler looked at our fastpasses, and it was passed the alotted time! OH-NO!  However, nobody really cares about that these days.  If your pass expired at 11 AM, you could probably still ride at midnight.  Anyways, we headed to Space Mountain, where we saw Joey in the queue!

And then… the ride broke down.  Seriously, something big had happened.  Look–

 

The lights were on!! And the best part is, Joey's train left as soon as it broke down. HAHAHA!

 So we waited… and waited…and waited…and took this picture… and waited… and then….

we waited.

Soon, the lights turned off, the crowd cheered, and the line started moving…slowly.  

Anyways, we finally got on and had a blast!  I sat in the front seat and had the unfortunate event of hearing Tyler scream the entire time.  She can be very loud!

I begged Tyler to let us ride again, but she was all, "Nooo, I wanna ride Buzz Lightyear...he's a hunk-sicle". Gag me.

So we rode Buzz.  It ended up being quite fun.  I creamed Tyler.  She was only a wee Space Cadet.  I totally 1-UPed her.  Oh yeah.

AHH!!! IT'S THAT VILLAIN GUY WHOSE NAME CURRENTLY ESCAPES ME!!! AHH!

After escaping the wrath of… um… oh come on I know this… oh! ZURG!  Okay, after escaping the wrath of Zurg, Tyler and I headed towards Pirates!  Arrggghhh!

Dead Men Tell No Tales...(tales...tales...tales...)

 And then we rode Big Thunder… then we um…. dang it! I don’t remember.  Okay well yeah.  The End!

My Post-Surgery Kinda Polynesian Luau Extravaganza!

Did everybody enjoy my trip to Animal Kingdom??? I hope so. Well the other night I went to an awesome Polynesian luau. I know, Tyler, Joey, Mark, and Danielle had to be there, but, it still went well. Ok, here we go.

Upon arriving, they gave me a lei.

It was a little big.

I was then whisked away by a tired Joey, a hungry Tyler, a sarcastic Mark, and an equally tired Danielle onto a table, where I was surrounded by chicken, rice, ribs, and pink lemonade. Yummy Polynesian delicacies.

(drooling noises)........non-Polynesian food...............(drooling noises)

I was soon caught up in the rhythm of the music.

I happen to be a fantastic hula dancer.

I was soon tired, and required immediate hydration.

Thank you non-Polynesian pink lemonade!

Dinner was great. I had consumed 11 ribs before Tyler had even touched her first one. (Although, to be fair, that wasn’t until dinner was almost finished) Then came the high point of the evening. Desert.

Did I mention I like chocolate mousse??

I ended up eating everyone’s chocolate mousse volcanoes. I know, I know. I get a little excited. But they were so good! I was so full and exhausted after all of that sugar consumption that I fell asleep right there on the platter.

I'm a light sleeper.

Thank you, everyone, (all 2 of you ) for reading my luau post. I had a great time. Keep checking back for updates!!!

My Trip to Disney World – Animal Kingdom

Hi everybody!  My name’s Tyrone and I’m a deformed basketball.   (and proud)  I travel around taking pictures to post them here, on my travel blog.  So, let’s get started!  I just got back from Disney World.  Wanna see some pics?

On the bus to Animal Kingdom. This was before my plastic surgery.

This is me almost getting eaten by a dinosaur.

 Ironically, the ride I was waiting for was called Dinosaur. It rocked, by the way.

 

This is me with another Dinosaur.

I think this was a nice dino, though. By the way, I have not fainted. I just was playing dead. PLAYING!

This is the outside of Dinosaur.

WHICH ROCKED!!

I also saw a 3-D movie. But I got really scared. I have a, uh, ‘phobia’ of bugs. I know, ha ha. But the hornets were scary!!!

That concludes my awesome trip to Animal Kingdom. Thanks for reading!
