hello Orlando!

Here's my 2nd of 3 posts for my Orlando trip. When we were not at a Disney theme park, we were either at Downtown Disney or our resort. The hotel was HUGH. I could walk for days and still not see it all. Daddy said if you wanted to self park, you'd have to take a shuttle from the parking structure to the hotel...that's how big it was. Of course Daddy is lazy so we valet'd it the whole time.

Hello Orlando! We got to our hotel late that night, but we still had time to walk around the grounds.

Mommy and daddy said I was such a good boy during my plane ride, I got a pet donkey at the airport.

The first morning there, I was so excited I got out of bed and just started running.

Here's a back view of our hotel. As you can see, the Marriott's much bigger than I am.

The pool here was extremely large. The resort had 3 pools and 3 large whirlpools. And a cave! No bats though. I checked.

Daddy said "no swimming til it gets warmer". Here's what I thought about that.

Mommy's due in February and beginning to show. I wonder what baby sister will be like?

We headed to Downtown Disney in the morning. It's SO much bigger than California's. I think Orlando just does everything BIG.

And they have Dinosaurs!

And a lake!

And Transformers! cool.

This Dragon isn't real. It was made out of Legos and built in the lake.

On the other hand, this bulldog is real.

I went sailing with the pirates. I love pirates! and skeletons!

Then after lunch, I went for a float in our pool. I can't believe I still fit into this thing. We took it when I was 1 to Hawaii.

Later that night, back to Downtown Disney for a stroll and dinner.

You can't see it, but there's a steamboat behing us.

And then a few laps around the bushes in this mini-train.

The Lego store was very impressive. Here's me with Aunt Janett.

And me with Ms. Blueman?

Family portrait. Actually the dinosaur is not part of our family.

These are some more shots from the morning.

Chillin out on our balcony. The cool thing was that we could walk out of our room down a short tropical path.. right to the pool.

And a front view of our massive resort. This was taken from the driveway leading into the place.

with Aunt Janett and Grandma before dinner.

I really liked this little house only to discover it was just a light.

Here's our 1 and only family shot.

I wanted to try on this Kimono, but Aunt Janett said it'd be too big. She was right and I owed her a kiss.

We had tepanyaki that night. Here's a shot of some flames that the chef created.

And me and the iron chef.

This was our last night in Orlando. I love this place and can't wait to return. Next up will be my post of Disney's Animal Kingdom. Stay tuned.

Jacob meets DisneyWorld

Me and my family took a vacation out to Orlando, Florida to visit the imfamous Disneyworld. I can't even begin to tell you how much fun I had over there. I thought Disneyland was great, but it doesn't even compare to this place. Grandma and Aunt Janett joined us as well. 1 week out east definitely wasn't enough (we only got to visit 2 parks), but daddy promised we'll return once I'm older. yeah!
I'm going to split my trip into 3 separate entries...in no particular order.

My first entry will be of the Magic Kingdom. This place is HUGH. Look at how BIG the castle is behind us.

Here's a cool shot that daddy look. It's on the 'small World' ride. Looks like I'm speeding through light, but the ride was pretty slow.

Here I am w/ aunt Janett waiting for the ferry to take us to the Magic Kingdom.

Waiting in line for one of my favorites. Pirates of the Caribbean. FYI, most of the rides are different...even slightly...than those at Disneyland.

Since it was October, Halloween decoration were up all over the Kingdom.

Aboard the Aladdin Magic Carpet ride.

I can't recall which ride this was from. Maybe Winnie the Pooh? btw, that's my mommy.

Walking to our next destination.

This was Tarzan's tree house. Which is much taller and much more green than the one in California.

then a family pose.

Aboard small World. This is my first time on this ride since the one at Disneyland is under renovation.

*flashback to when Jacob was younger* In line for the small World ride.

Then probably my 3rd favorite ride. Peter Pan. We're waiting in line actually.

Now our ship is ready to sail...I mean fly!

Half way through our day and I wasn't about to slow down.

They had this Winnie the Pooh playground for us little folks. I probably had the most fun here cause I was free to run!

I LOVE this ride. My favorite hands out. Buzz Lightyear Astro Blaster. This one is completely different and much better than at Disneyland. Here I am with the evil villian I shot down on the ride.

Then Aunt Janett bought me a Buzz Lightyear Astro Blaster phaser.

The family in front of castle Disney.

Then with mommy and Aunt Janett.

And our last family shot!

We parked in Pluto. Lucky thing for my photographic memory we found our car. It was a great day, but I'm already ready to go back. Don't forget 2 more posts to come!
