Disney may be the happiest place on earth, but will this day ever end

After finally landing in Orlando it was good to be at my final destination. It took me a while to track down my luggage as it came through on an earlier flight, so once I found it and claimed it, it was on to find the Disney Magical Express.

The Disney Magical Express is where the disney fun begins. On the drive you watch a video about Disney and everything that awaits you.

Disneyworld is huge, it covers 74 square yards and employs . For those who are unsure the property has four theme parks (Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Epcot and Hollywood Studios), two water parks (blizzard beach and typhoon lagoon), downtown disney, and endless resorts.

I arrived at my resort for the next week Pop Century, and as I would be told many times over the next week I was told to have a magical day. My room was ready, which was the best information I could have hoped for , it meant my own space and more importantly shower - and it was a long shower. It also helped me wake up a little.

After pulling myself away from bed I headed to the parks, I had been speaking to some people on the DIS boards and I was meeting up with some of them. Hollywood studios was the park decided upon.

The advantages of experiencing a Disney park with someone who has been multiple times is

a) They know the way around and don't need a map

b) They know information about the park and attractions that would have otherwise gone unkown.

c) It makes you feel less overwhelmed especially when tired.

We headed straight for the tower of terror, this is when I discovered the difference between Disney and other theme parks. It is not just about the time on the actual ride, the lines are interactive, there are pre-ride movies and some rides have several different sequences so you never know what ride you will get.

Star tours was also on the agenda, most people know I have never seen the movies but I was still able to enjoy the ride and battle Darth Vader,

My overall views on Hollywoood Studios were positive, the rides are fun, some of the back drops in particular San Francisco were spectacular and it was so pretty being all lit up of a night.

We hopped over to Magical Kingdom for the wishes fireworks show (what I didn't know at this stage I would go to Magic Kingdom three times and each time I would arrive a different way).

WOW

There really is something about the Kingdom, the castle takes your breath away, seeing it at night all lit up was spectacular. Main street has so much atmosphere, for some reason the smell of popcorn with the music and happy excited people just describe main street.

Fireworks and me don't really mix. It is not a new fear it has been there for a while, but I couldn't go to Disney and not see the night time shows. WIshes was magical it sounds so cliche but there is no other way to describe standing waching the lit up castle, fireworks all around it and the wishes song.

After wishes it was time to head to tomorrow land for a few rides before calling it a night, I ended with space mountain which still lived up to what I remembered and was loads of fun. More rollercoasters should be in the dark.

Was time to find my bus and head back to Pop, however my marathon day was not near being over I realised I hadn't eaten in over 24 hours so had to grab some food, had washing to do, packages to pick up. I did eventually fall into bed (literally) at 1:30am.
