WDW Parks Update

We also continue to visit the WDW parks when we have time. Earlier this month, Susan and Jenn were working late in the Magic Kingdom so I went over after my shift was over to visit them and to enjoy the Holiday decorations before they were gone.

I always try to take some photos of the construction projects when visiting the parks as a guest. Above is work on the entrance to Epcot, as well as the building that will house the Guardians of the Galaxy roller coaster.

I also like to take a photo of the Tron site when I ride the Peoplemover in the Magic Kingdom. 

Later in the month, we checked out the Festival of the Arts at Epcot.

Anniversary Trip

 

This year for our anniversary we spent a few days at Disney's Hilton Head resort.

 

We spent most of our time relaxing. We went out to the Beach House in the mornings to swim and walk along the beach.

One of the days we drove up to Charleston to visit friends at the Air Base there.

Busch Gardens

Yesterday we visited Busch Gardens for the first time since 2007. Since the Sea World and Busch Gardens park keep their Christmas Celebrations going until the Epiphany, most decorations were still up. We camped in our trailer nearby, and had free admission with our Sea World annual passes.

The old "Land of Dragons" kiddie area has been converted into a Sesame Street area, and "Timbuktu" is now "Pantopia", but most of the rest of the park is still themed to Africa.

The park hasn't aged well. A lot of the family attractions we enjoyed on previous visits have been replaced by roller coasters. Still we had fun riding the skyway and seeing the animal exhibits, as well as trying out all the restaurants with the All-Day Dining Deal. And Jenn and I did a couple of the coasters.
