Day 25: Orlando - Walt Disney World
June 20: Turns out, now is the wrong time of year to come here - hot, humid, rainy season (ie thunderstorms here every afternoon for about two hours) - and well the internet costs at my hotel are huge! - hence won't be updating this till I get to New York on June 24.
Other than that, making the most of my Disney World experience... hoping to meet Mickey Mouse some day....
Today, I went to Epcot and Magic Kingdom. Discovered there's line everywhere I go, so trying to avoid them isn't working... other than grabbing a 'fast pass' here and there. At Epcot, I got to see some interesting stuff at Innoventions (but some of it was closed for updating), The Underwater exhibit with manatees, fish and more; Honey I Shrunk the Audience; and the Land exhibit which has a ferry ride through a greenhouse with lots of growth techniques for fruit and veges, as well as a great new ride "Soarin'" - a simulator which has you hang gliding over various parts of the world.
Also got to check out a few of the World Showcase country exhibits, including Mexico, Norway and China. I returned later too, to see the night show which involved lasers, lights and fireworks over the lagoon.
At Magic Kingdom, I missed the afternoon parade, but got to see the night Spectromagic one, so too the fireworks off the Castle, as well as other exhibits.
