Planet Hollywood - Day 6

The last day of our trip in Orlando was spent at Planet Hollywood. the Pixar section was really neat, and we enjoyed seeing some of the characters this day as well. I think we were all just a lot bit tired and grouchy on day 6, so I can't cheer much for Planet Hollywood.

Sea World - Day 5

Sea World was a cool place to visit, but I am not sure I would call it a $90 value, thank goodness the admission was free for military ID holders! The aquariums were very clean, and stocked with a HUGE variety there was an awesome roller coaster called the Manta that was phenomenal! If I were going to pay admission for this kind of park again though, I think I would go Atlanta Aquarium. 

Shamu's Show was pretty cool. There were about 5 whales in the show, each had their own handler. The first part was an interpretive kind of show about the whale meeting his man, and the other part of the show was where they had the whales wave, and jump and then, of course, Splash! During the pre-show moments there was one playful whale that was splashing the crowd just for its own amusement.

does any one else see that bright eyed sting ray sneaking in the photo?

they were selling oysters that had pearl in them, here's one that had been opened

AHHHHHHHHHHHH

it was a chilly day, but the flowers were lovely,  and this photo op was irresistible.

ready for the 'splash zone' at Shamu's show

Take Cover!!!

INCOMING!!!

Aurora holding the mold of a Polar Bear's foot, talk about BIG foot!

seriously, that is a HUGE foot!

I made James laugh, but still he held his breath to 1 minute 5 seconds.

I admit my defeat at 55 seconds.

Our entire seaworld party weighed in at 733lbs!!!

Epcot - Day 4

"My name is Aurora too! Did you know that there were TWO Rory's?!"

Ethan, Maddie, Madison, Aurora

Meeting Mulan, please note Aurora's Peace sign!!

Reenacting the scene from Lion King!

Meeting Snow White

 Ok, Meeting Marie was the SWEETEST thing of all time! Aurora met her, hugged her, got a signature.... then as we walked away, ran back in for a 2nd hug! and told Marie that she loved her! So sweet that I cried a little!

Meeting the Beast

Belle and the Beast, and Maddie.

THIS is what happens with stickers.... always!

The Flower Festival was so neat! HGtv and Epcot had teamed up to create these amazing topiaries of the Disney Characters! I was very impressed to see them all! Epcot was very cool, we rode some rides, and then went to the tour of the world... in each country we stopped and got a little something to sample and shared it with our friends. I really liked the 'school bread' from the first stop... um... where the vikings were. Norway. I remember. It was a pastry that had a coconut topping and a sweet, buttery filling. Oh boy! I need to get a recipe ASAP (or a Norwegian bakery located in Huntsville!). Other things we sampled were Bratwurst, funnel cake, fried ice cream, cannoli, and fish and chips. I think that we spent the most money at Epcot because of the food, but mmmm it was delicious!!!!

After a day at Epcot, and a pouring down rain storm, we headed back to the Magic Kingdom for fireworks again. We really enjoyed our day sampling foods and meeting Charachters!
