Tampa/Kissimmee 02/27-03/03

Over the weekend we were in Seffner just outside Tampa.  Joe wanted to see the USAC non-wing sprint cars on Friday and Sat night.  He managed Friday night but it rained all day and most of the evening on Sat.  Sunday was a beautiful day.  I was so glad to have nice weather.  We met my nephew, Doug and his wife, Joy, for lunch Sunday afternoon.  Then they joined us back at the RV park.  It was so nice to see them again.  It has been a very long time since I last saw them.  We had a great visit and fun time catching up.  We hope to see them again in a couple of weeks when we will be back in this area.

Sunday we headed over to Orlando/Kissimmee.  We will be spending Tue, Wed, and Thurs at Disney World.  The weather is being nice to us finally and it is another decent day with no rain.  We are staying at a KOA about 6 miles from Disney World.

Monday we are up early to get to the Magic Kingdom by 9am.  It is going to be in the mid 80's today so it should be beautiful.  The highway is very will marked to get where you want to go at Disney World.  We had a little sticker shock at the cost of parking, $17 a day.  Once parked we hop on the shuttle to get to the ticket booth.  We have tickets waiting for us a will call.  Once we get our tickets we then take the monorail to get to the main gate.  This place is so big it takes a while just to get in the main gates.  Once in you realize that it is pretty much Disney Land but bigger.

 Once in we headed for Thunder Mountain it beat long lines.  This is one of our favorite rides.














Next comes Splash Mountain, it has been a long time since I have done this ride and it is as thrilling as I remember.  We were both wet when we got off.  Now for the Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, Peter Pan's Flight and finally Space Mountain.  The longest wait we had was 55 min. at Space Mountain.  We also saw the Country Bear Jamboree and played around on Tom Sawyers Island.  The last thing of the day was the hall of the Presidents.

What a wonderful fun filled day.  We took our time and did want we wanted and didn't wear ourselves out, but were a happy tired when we arrived back home.

Tomorrow Animal Kingdom and the Everest Expedition. Can't wait.
