Sesame Street Land at Sea World

Earlier this year, Sea World had reopened its kid area up with a new Sesame Street theme. In the fall, they announced an all Season Dining Plan, so we renewed our passes and purchased the plan.

We visited twice this month, mostly to enjoy the Christmas Celebration but also to check out the new area and watch the parade. Jenn knew a girl performing in it. Last week just Susan, Jenn, and I went, and we ate at Voyager's Smokehouse.

Monday we spent an evening at the Universal parks, checking out the holiday decorations there. We ate at the Three Broomsticks in Hogsmead, then took the train to Diagon Alley.

Last night we returned to Sea World. Bryan was out for Thanksgiving, so he came with us. This time we tried Mama's Pretzel Kitchen. Sea World is definitely not as nice as a Disney park or even one of the Universal ones, but it can be a good time, and is definitely less expensive.

Dapper Days

Jennifer continues to visit the parks often, usually with friends. She usually wears themed outfits, and has photos taken with characters. Saturday was the fall Dapper Day at Hollywood Studios, so she wore a Star Wars inspired outfit.

 

Sunday morning we got up early to do another Cast 5K, again at Animal Kingdom.

After the race she attended the Dapper Day gathering at Epcot. She also visited the Studios, so she could get photos with Chip and Dale.

Last week Jennifer was promoted to trainer at work. She celebrated by visiting Magic Kingdom yesterday, Mickey Mouse’s birthday.

Disney Characters

After Halloween all of the parks switched to holiday decorations. A few times a year, Disney will have some characters available for photo opportunities as cast members come in to work. I almost always walk right by them at Epcot, but Jennifer usually stops. 

Last week, we decided to take our cargo trailer back to Oregon. We couldn't figure out how to change the title on it to Florida, and we were paying every month to store it and not using it.

Susan and I drove to Bend in only four days. We left Susan's car in Oregon and flew home.

While we were gone, Jenn spent an evening at Hollywood Studios.
