Disney World?!

Yes, I finally went. After talking about it since Freshman year, we pulled it off.

We, meaning these kids.


Anyways, I never actually thought I would go through with my Senior Trip plans. I mean, who does? But next thing I knew, I found myself walking through the gate of the terminal to board a flight to Orlando.


I have no idea how the passage of time worked out on the trip; it's all one big blur to me. So I will post a picture, followed by an explanation. Simply as that.


Tree of Life, a massive structure in the Animal Kingdom that's built around an oil rig. There is also a somewhat amusing show held in theater underneath the tree. I make unattractive faces.


Expedition Everest. Like the Matterhorn, on steroids. Even that doesn't do it justice. I want one here.

Oh no! Broken track!


Finding Nemo Musical, done with puppets. The concept sounds strange, but it's well executed and gave me quite a few laughs. There is, however, an annoying song at the end. Beware.


Ah, dinner at Le Cellier in Epcot. Beastly dinner. Started off with Candian Cheddar Soup with assorted Canadian breads. Followed that with a medium-rare salt-crusted prime rib and potatoes on the side. Ordered a skillet of baked mac and cheese, finished off with some Chocolate Moose (chocolate mousse rolled in crumbs with cookie-antlers and chocolate candies for eyes). Heavy, filling, delicious, and possibly hazardous.


Something of a splurge.

Ah, and a tiny little anecdote: at the fast pass machines for Test Track, we managed to trick the machine and end up with a buttload of fast passes. Yay for exploiting the system!


Venetian Masks. I want.


Mmm. Illuminations.

What a show. And, we got exclusive seats. Nice way to end a fantastic day.

I could have stayed on these two rides all day.


But clearly, the thing that I was the most psyched about was taking pictures with Power Rangers! :D

Oh jeez.

Full Montagu. Earl of Sandwich in Downtown Disney. Roast Beef, Provalone, Roma Tomatoes, Lettuce. Damn cheap, too!


Kitchen Sink from Beaches and Cream at the Beach Club resort. Eight scoops of ice cream, about a pound of toppings, and an entire can of whipped cream. Quarter shown for reference.


Not gonna lie, I was pretty jealous of their castle.


People thought I was crazy for taking my camera out for this shot.


Long exposure nighttime shots! :D


"Wishes" fireworks show! Very similar to "Remember..." and equally awesome. A beautiful display of shooting colorful pyrotechnics into the sky. I wouldn't mind doing that for a living.


Typical Partners statue shot.

But I had to take one for myself.

Lovely trip. Endlessly exciting. The perfect Senior Trip, and definitely a high point of my summer. Now off to Indonesia!

I won't bore you with the nuances of the differences between Disneyland and Disney World. I'll save that for whoever is unfortunate enough to join me in the parks.
