| Favourite bits of the trip 2- Disney World |
Jordan's favourite part of our trip, even though she doesn't talk about it in the same way Evan does, was Disney. More accurately, meeting, greeting and hugging all the Princesses. Our daughter is a hugger. She hugs. Everyone.
Anyway, in Orlando, there are 4 Disney parks and a whole array of other parks that we didn't have time to visit. Of the 4, we visited 3 and we can say with great certainty that if there are kids under 6 involved, skip Epcot. Epcot is like Disney's Science Centre. And the twins were bored. There was too little for them to do because they were so young and short (most of Disney is governed by a height limit).
What was a hit was Disney Hollywood Studios which was fun and where the kids could go on Star Wars rides and train to be Jedi and Magic Kingdom which lived up to its name at being magical.
Anyway, Jordan's favourite part was the Princesses. And her favourite princess, Rapunzel from Tangled. What was interesting was that she wasn't just spellbound. She was intent. Intent on presenting Rapunzel with a colouring, she is a picture of concentration and focus even as we beckon her to join the queue. The only thing that broke her concentration for a split second was when Rapunzel skipped out then she returned to colouring with more ferocity, worrying that she wouldn't finish in time to present it as a gift.
She does and the relief is immense.
  
We would have liked to say that while Jordan loved her princesses, Evan enjoyed the Star Wars stuff and enjoyed the Jedi Avademy. Unfortunately, the pictures we have were of bravado. My young Padawans were only Padawans for as long as Darth Vader didn't appear. Once the Sith Lord appeared, ran helter skelter my younglings did.
Our mistake was that we had never shown them any Star Wars prior to the trip so they were in no way sensitised to Darth Vader.
This did not stop Packrat from building each of them a light saber and the "Voong Voong Voong" sound was a big hit.
  
And obviously, the rides were a hit. It's a Small World, spinning dizzifying Tea Cups, Flying Carpets and Dumbo and the car tracks where they got to actually drive cars subjecting us to diesel fumes and the high pitch whine of bumper cars.
Packrat and my vote of what was the best part of Disney was Magic Kingdom. It suckered us, hook, line and sinker. It was indeed magical and we went back a second day and were tempted to buy everything in the stores ( For the record, we didn't).

still Ondine but I have discovered a new facet to myself. I find myself now in a position where I might possibly be breeding future gamers. This blog is in an effort to keep the two blog personalities separate since there might be people out there who might feel extremely grossed out by pregnancy and all the yucky, obsessive things that follow.
