Disney World Part 2


Friday morning, Jennifer and I checked out the Festival of Arts at Epcot. This is a relatively new Festival. In addition to the food and merchandise booths like at the Flower & Garden and Food & Wine festivals, there are tents with artwork to view and purchase, and a few other offerings.
In the evening we headed down to Hollywood Studios to enjoy the new Toy Story Land.
We returned on Saturday and checked out the construction on the Studios' version of Star Wars Land, as well as spending more time in Epcot.
We also checked out the progress on the new Skyliner system, and capped off the night by watching Fantasmic!  Yesterday we had breakfast at Trail's End, a restaurant at the Fort Wilderness campgrounds, then I flew home.

Sea World

Since the passes we bought in San Antonio and San Diego worked in Orlando, we also spent a day visiting Sea World.
I enjoyed going up in the Sky Tower and we all enjoyed the dolphin show and the animal exhibits.
Jennifer and I rode one of the roller coasters, Manta, in which the riders are suspended upside down. There were several more, but we decided to try them another day.

Disney World

With Susan and Jenn living and working in Florida, last week I flew out to celebrate Susan's birthday and our anniversary.  We stayed one night in Pop Century so I could take the Magical Express bus from the airport to Disney World, then stayed at our rental house after that.
Susan is working at Flame Tree BBQ in Animal Kingdom, and Jennifer at the Emporium. I spent some time doing things around the house, but I also spent some time at the parks, either alone or with them when they weren't working. The first day, while Susan worked, I used her cast spouse pass to visit Animal Kingdom, and watched the Rivers of Light show from Flame Tree.
Yesterday, I visited the Magic Kingdom. While Jenn was at work, I rode the Peoplemover and took a photo of the site of the upcoming Tron roller coaster.  
Once Jenn was done with work, she joined me for a ride on the riverboat.
 
They hadn't taken down the Christmas decorations yet. We watched the fireworks before heading home.
