Orlando, Florida · 11:12pm Aug 31st, 2019
Okay so technically I was just outside Orlando, Florida in Kissimmee. Absolutely middle of nowhere, yet it was barely a mere 40 minute drive to the Park! 30 minutes from the airport and still in the middle of bum f**k nowhere!?! 😂 Anyways the housing resort complex was in a word: beautiful! We were accidentally upgraded to a six bedroom house with 2 master bedrooms and a theater room! My auntie and "uncle" was in the master on the first floor and I was in the master on the second floor. My nieces were in two of the other bedrooms. The pool and jacuzzi may not have been heated (we would have had to pay extra), but they were relaxing (despite the fact that I can't swim! I waded and played). That kitchen was almost like a dream! Plenty of counter space, an Island, TWO dishwashers and a very large pantry. Plus there was a bathroom off the side of it!
Now the park we went to was Animal Kingdom (a semi-unanimous agreed upon decision). Lemme tell ya, it was insane in there! Thankfully we went in the morning time and it wasn't that many people there in general. But it was still crazy! We went to every area of Animal Kingdom and essentially rode a ride in each zone. We even went on a safari! We were a very lucky group because a lot of the animals there were out and about. They were so close, you could almost reach out and touch them (which was not allowed....not exactly a petting zoo)! Then of course on one of the Roller Coasters (the one in "Asia" that was Mt. Everest themed) I was screaming so loud from the excitement and thrill that I accidentally scared my niece (and yes, this was one of those coasters where they take a picture at the end....cost a lot to get a good package but...whatever!) The only downside was the food. They got our order wrong at a dinosaur-themed restaurant 2x! Aside from that, the food there was.....yeah we should have brought a cooler with us. Overall I got a lot of pics and even a stuffed Simba! So yeah! Bonus happiness!
The plane ride to there was terrifying. I will openly admit to loving the sensation of flying, but hating the machinery that goes with it. I had a panic attack 2x. Coming home amazingly wasn't all that bad thought! Would I need more practice at flying? Yes. Yes I will.
Overall....Dream vacation was a success! And once again I am thankful that my beautiful friend Kenny was able to check in on my account for a couple of days.
Til next time,
