Meanwhile, in the not so sunshine state of Florida...

Upon arrival at the sunshine state of Florida, we discovered it isn't so sunny after all. Showers upon arrival. Oh well, that's how they can grow oranges here. Checked into Walt Disney Art of Animation resort, Finding Nemo wing. Personally I would have preferred the Little Mermaid of Lion King wings though, closer to my childhood. Haha. Age.

Home for the next 8 days.
 The big and red sofa bed. 

 
Headed to Downtown Disney for dinner and some shopping and Lego store! 
 Disney stores selling homogeneous products everywhere, what do you expect?
 Oh and some really cheap chocolate. 
 The next day, we blasted into space, centre actually. And the silly things you do when it is not your turn to drive.
 
 First sign of arrival. Do you know the tourist section of the space centre has no state funding and operate only on tourist dollars?
 Hands up if you dreamt of being an astronaut
Resting place of the retired shuttle; continuing to rake in the tourist dollars. 
 
 The vehicle assembly building, sixth largest building in the world by volume.
 The really huge thrusters of the Saturn V moon rocket. 
 One small step for a man, one really ugly leg of mine. 
 One of the staff from the moon mission entertaining curious people.

 Apollo XII, where failure is not an option
 The real launch pad areas that were used for the shuttles and missions. 
 
 
Even if it was just a piece of rock by the roadside, we wouldn't have known the difference. Haha.
 
 Universal Studios were next on the list;
whereby no visit is ever complete without the obligatory touristy globe shot.
 Another one. 
 Well, the studios were almost identical to the ones in LA and Sg, except for perhaps Harry Potter.
 
 
I bought one of these, guess which? 
 
 We had lunch in Potter town, and this was a turkey leg and that was my hand. 
 Our meal for 5 which can obviously feed 6 or 7 Asian stomachs. 
 
The rock n roller coaster that blasts music behind your ears as you ride it.
How true.
Adam Lambert was performing for the summer while we were at the park.




 Welcome to Jurassic Park, again.


 Our flag flying high, proud moment as a Singaporean despite the puny sized park we had in our backyard. 
 Typical Bart. 
 
 And then we went to Disney Hollywood Studio.
Whose signature rides included this:




This couple just got hitched and was spending their honeymoon there.

His legacy.

Wondering how the show will go on with, 
 
the flooded set of Indiana Jones' Adventure.

If you are not wet already.


Live stunt shows with cars, explosions and actions.


The lady is watching

this.

Often we find ourselves here.

Thinking things through, the next day we found ourselves at the giant golf ball.

Yes we went Epcot.

Can you be an astronaut?


We also found ourselves all over the world.



The light at the end of the tunnel was welcoming.

 The really cool ride in the open top car that propelled us to 65mph. Damn, it wasn't 88.

 Our self designed ride that performed the best with the worse fuel efficiency. Rofl.

 Camaro for 45k, anyone?

 
The lake.

 Christmas came here in German town,


 
while rocking to Bon Jovi covers outside.

Ate some really sinful snack

While catching fireworks by Epcot Lake.

Sans tripod
 
Went to the zoo! Okay animal kingdom. Hah.

Obviously he doesn't give a hoot about what's going on.

Who is looking at who?

While we engage in some sisterly love?

Lazing lions in the day.

That rare instance whereby she is the queen of the hill.

Nobody is larger than me on land!

Except that I'm taller.

 That ain't no food.

 The king of the skies, Courage Dispels Fear.


Depending on which school you believe in, he is our distant relative.

He will win any stare down, or up.

Except that this big guy was in a really emo mood.

Who wouldn't if you are put behind a glass wall and paraded like a monkey.

Inside that tranquility, is a roller coaster..

That really nice French boy who stood in front of us during the parade, and his gramps commented he like girls. #startedatayoungage.



In the land of burgers and fried foods, we chose Chinese food for lunch.

On the way home, it poured as usual.

I've always thought the people working at the happiest place on Earth are the most unhappy simply because they sacrificed their own happiness for ours.






You know who..


And these were all started by a mouse..

And it is the 4th of July in Magic Kingdom.
Some don't give a damn
Others are too busy plotting to take over/destroy the world
Most of us couldn't even take care of ourselves.
They gave out pins
but all of us were more concerned over these:
Legacy ride.
Nightfall, it is time.
Not only Singaporeans are kiasu
for a nice spot.
It was id4 and we didn't see any aliens..
It was hello and goodbye to places that I've visited 19 years ago.
When in Florida, one got to drink OJ.
Coming in bottles that looked like detergent no less.
Prices and sizes made us just wanting to die.
Mantra for the trip,


See you in Niagara Falls next.
