1 Day at Animal Kingdom, DisneyWorld


We spent another day at Animal Kingdom. 
Animal Kingdom can be divided into 5 sections. 
There are Oasis, Discovery Island, Africa, Asia and Dino Land.

Animal Kingdom is smaller than Magic Kingdom in terms of number of attractions. It is definitely possible to cover everything in 12 hours. Use your Fastpass wisely to save time. 

Tip: Will recommend Fastpass for Kilimanjero Safari, Expedition Everest, Kali River Rapids, 
Way to use Fastpass: refer to previous posts in Magic Kingdom.

Take note about the time for Flights of Wonder.

Dino Land and Discovery Island are more kid friendly park. 
There are more awakening rides in the Africa and Asia parks, I mean coaster rides, LOL.

Our favorite ride goes to Expedition Everest.


  
You can stay back for River of Lights which starts at 8:45pm but we finished all the attractions around 5pm and decided to go for early dinner before we hit the bed. 

My first Skydiving Experience

So here comes my first diving experience! so happy I did it in US because it is way cheaper when compared to in NZ and Aus. I got this deal at 99 USD from Groupon. The fee excludes video so you have to pay another 99 USD for the video and 20 USD for the pendrive. The total is about 223 USD include tax.

FYI, I am doing the 12,000 ft. The highest legal dive in Florida is 15,000 ft. 
My instructor is Matt, he is super cool. I personally prefer the way he shoot my video and the way he did the skydiving. My laps did not hurt and it was a super calm and wonderful skydiving experience. 



Lunch at Five Guys, love my little cheese burger and fries ;)


Dinner at Beth's. We got free tee !




 Another favorite spot for food in Orlando Downtown is the 935 Mills Market. They serve healthy soup, salad and sandwiches at pocket friendly price. Like the ambiance over there too. 


1 day at Magical Kingdom, DisneyWorld

This is my first Disney World experience. 
Thanks God I get to come to the world's largest Disney. How blessed! 
It was Saturday so the park closed at 12am and we get to spend like more than 12 hours in the park. Thus, we managed to cover most of the attractions. Thanks God x2

Tip: Log into your Disney account and select for Fastpass to save your waiting time. 
You get to select 3 Fastpasses at first and get one more Fastpass once you finish your first 3 Fastpasses. You can get one fastpass at each time after the first 3. You can do this few days in advance.

I will recommend Fastpass for Jungle Cruise, Peter Pan's Flight, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Tomorrowland speedway, Space Mountain and Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin.

Magic Kingdom can be divided into 6 sections. There are Main Streets USA, Adventure Land, Frontier Land, Liberty Square, Fantasy Land and Tomorrow Land.

Personally think Adventure Land is more kids friendly. Fantasy Land and Tomorrow Land have more coaster ride. We almost fall asleep while waiting in line so coaster ride kept us awake.

What a perfect ending at the Magic Kingdom.

we were stuck in the queue so we didn't get to see the firework.
