howdy folks!
as you probably would have guessed by now, disney DOES NOT HAVE FREE INTERNET DDD: but ah wells, I think the past few days would have left no time for blogging anws xD
so I arrived in jacksonville international airport, florida, at 1am on 5th june, after a 4 hour flight from la to Atlanta and then a 45 min flight from Atlanta to Jacksonville (the 45 min flight was a breath of fresh air after all those long flights!)
my mom’s friend came to pick us up at the airport. She owns a few restaurants in her town, which is totally cool considering how she came to usa with practically nothing. The ride to her place was about an hour. She lives in a little house, which has a tree house! I love the houses in usa’s countryside ^^ they are so pretty!
The same morning, at 10 plus, we headed down to Orlando, florida with my mom’s friend, her sister and her nephew.
-pause to inhale-
FLORIDA IS FREAKINGG B-E-AUTIFUL ZOMGGG!!! :DXD:pD:0:O: its as hot as singapore, but actually has a breeze cos its near the coast. and the sun gets real hot at arnd 3 plus in the afternoons. but the weather is not the best part of this place. ITS SO GORGEOUS BIG! AND GREEN! which is a HUGE relief after shanghai.
I LOVE IT.-end of gushing (uh. maybe)-
We had dim sum at this Chinese place that’s not too bad. Then we went shopping! :D:D:D I think my trip has really just been a international shopping spree! ahahahaha. Then we checked in to disney and that’s where ive been for the past week xD
first day was epcot, where there was this totally cute interactive show with crush from finding nemo. the audience could ask questions and crush would answer. and he was funny!
Kid: Crush, why do only female turtles go up to the beach and lay their eggs?
Crush: well, uh that’s cos the dudes are totally clueless. Like when the females go “hey lets go up to the beach we were born on to lay our eggs!” and the dudes go “uhhhhh. what beach?”
-crowd laughs-
Crush: and did you know? when the temperatures hotter while the females are laying their eggs, the eggs hatch to females. Males are only hatched when the temperatures are lower. So remember, dudes are cool and chicks are hot!yeah ahahaha.
The next day was animal kingdom. which is sorta like the zoo, except a lot cooler, with rides. There was this safari ride where we took trucks into a small patch of safari and saw a couple of cool animals including GIRAFFFESSS! and this really funky rollercoaster called expedition everest. Its my second favourite ride in the whole of disney world :D:D:D my third favourite is this other ride also in animal kingdom called dinosaur. yups. all in all animal kingdom is my second favourite park!
The next two days we spent at magic kingdom, which is where all the classic snow white, peter pan etc rides are. The potc ride was under maintenance!!!! )))): how saddening. magic kingdom is also home to the three mountains: splash mountain, big thunder mountain railroad and space mountain! Space mountain, sadly, did not live up to my expectations. It was ok lah, but not as cool as expedition everest. And of course theres the traditional it’s a small world ride, which ive never failed to take in all the disney lands ive been to. which is almost all? xDxD
The best part of magic kingdom is the fireworks show called wishes. ZOMG AMAZZINGGGG. Fireworks don’t usually amaze me as much. They’re pretty, but none of them have ever stunned me like this one. im not sure if its just the whole “im in Disneyworld” thing, or the fact that the fireworks had cinderellas castle as a background, but it was just WHOA. gorgeousnesss! the whole time i was just like. jaw-droppped stunned or something xD
The fifth day was spent in disney’s Hollywood studios, my favourite park of all! sadly, I missed the two stunt shows D: but I took the two best rides three times each xD the first one is a this AWWESSOMEE rollercoaster called rock ‘n’ roller coaster. Its really really really cool!!!! and includes sections that are upside down. thankfully its indoors and in the dark so you don’t really get to see the world upside down. which would have totally freaked me out cos im scared of heights xD but you do see the people in front of your upside down, which is freaky! but cool. really really really really cool! I sat in front with my mom on the first ride cos my sis was too freaked out to sit in the front. haha.
the second best ride in the park/ fourth best ride in the whole "world" was this one called the tower of terror. Basically you sit in this elevator and it goes up and down. free fall freaks me out. It was really funny cos at the end of the ride my and my sis would go “lets take it again!” then before it drops we’ll freak out and be all “shit why did we do this AGAIN?!” hahahha.
there was also this other ride about toy story. we queued for an hour to get on it! our longest wait yet. basically it’s a shooting game in 3D. which is really cool! and I would have queued again if we had time xD
and i bought this really cute shirt from potc that declares in large words: I LOVE JACK. which just says it all :D:D
yups so the past few days have all been spent, as my mom puts it, like fightin a war. Out early, back late, very busy having fun. Hahahaha.
so that was uh yesterday? yups. today, we went to a water park called aquatica. basically SLIDES, SLIDES, SLIDES. big slides! small slides!
SHIOK. HOT. WET.
xD
and so now im back at my moms friends place. with internet! so ill expect to be interneted for the next few days at least xD
(btw, i took pictures! cept i didnt bring the wire, so maybe after i get back. if i have time D:)
