Disney: Day 1

I am going to try something a little bit different this time since I have a laptop and wifi on this trip. Instead of waiting until I get home and trying to remember all of the fun I had, I am going to attempt to do this as I go. Wish me luck.

So here goes.

We arrived in Orlando on Friday morning and checked into the Hilton Bonnet Creek. It is a very nice upscale hotel. Truth be told, it is a bit fancy for my taste. We were fortunate enough to stay there for free, due to the fact that my brother travels for his job and earns plenty of points for his hotel stays. He is also extremely generous with them.

Once we arrived I took a much needed nap after driving all night and the wife and kids hit the pool. They said it was nice. I will take their word for it.

Saturday we made our way to Hollywood Studios. We were able to make it there just in time for the opening ceremonies. Then it was the mad dash for Toy Story Mania! We headed over and grabbed fast passes and then moved on to Rockin' Rollercoaster followed by Tower of Terror, The Great Movie Ride, some food, and then Toy Story Mania. I ended up with the high score of the hour for TSM, which was kind of cool!

The park was surprisingly dead. Not sure if it was the heat or the fact that they closed at 7 pm, but I will take it.

Here are a few pics:

Today we are headed to Animal Kingdom. I will attempt to keep this up to date as I can, but I am on vacation.
