My wife has work in Orlando, and we found reasonably priced plane tickets, so we decided to visit the "Mouse". Since Thursday, my family have hit "Downtown Disney", "The Magic Kingdom", "Epcot" and "The Animal Kingdom". I have some pretty strong opinions.

My family has taken a short working vacation and flown to Orlando to see the mouse. Despite waking up at 5 am to get an early morning flight, the time change had us arriving mid afternoon and not getting to the hotel until dinner time. We are staying at the mouse's "Animal Kingdom Lodge" and I must say that arriving at the airport, not having to pick up luggage, and having a coach take us to the door of the resort was pretty terrific. We were delighted to find out that they upgraded our room to a "Savannah" view which has us looking out on ostriches, giraffes, and water-buffalo from our balcony. Pretty cool.
