OK, finally our family is going to Disney World Orlando this summer. The trip to this wonderful, fantastic, dreamful land was first brought up by Steve years ago, well, when we were dating. Guess what, I had to work during that summer. Then it was proponed many times for various reasons. Now we are heading there on August 18, 2007, a family of four rather than two single students. Well, let’s get ready.
The packing list was modified from what it was last year. Car, flights, tickets to Disney World, Sea World and Busch Garden were all booked online. http://www.kayak.com/ is a terrific booking engine with links to many other travel websites and agents. I’ve got the car and flights from this site and the prices were not bad at all, given that week of August 18 will still be the peak travel week in the destination. I was not lucky enough to get all the tickets at my planned prices. What can I say? That’s the Disney World where we are going! It’s about the magical power. It’s the place where the dreams come true. Discount prices? Yeah, 20% off. Come on, people would pay full price to see those famous cartoon characters. 695 USD will give four of us four fabulous days at Orlando Disney. The happiness is priceless.
Global booked me a two-bedroom at Windsor Palms resort. It seems to be quite nice in the pictures gallery on its website. Just hope our stay will turn out to be a quite pretty memory to the kids. The weather channel forecasts a 92 degree everyday that week. I guess an inside pool would be a big plus. But it seems that we’d have to arm ourselves with SF 50. Not too bad though.
On the day we arrive, we seem to have the entire afternoon to kill. Billy Boy opens till late afternoon so that we can pick up the tickets after the nap. 1st Oriental Supermarket at 5132 W Colonial Dr is about 19 miles from where the resort locates. It’s rated a full 5 stars by some customers. I am planning to fill up the refrigerator with quick breakfast, juice, milk and fruits. And of course some Chinese cookies, snacks, and most important, my sunflower seeds. On the way back, we can stop by the Publix Super Markets at 5350 Central Florida Pkwy to pick up a box of ice-cream and maybe something else depending on what in the mind then.
There are quite a few restaurants along the Irlo Bronson Hwy，not far from the resort and Disney World. I am planning do some research on them and pick up 6 that we will have a taste on each day.
