The Best and Worst Rides

      Disney has some amazing rides. Some were a big hit. The kids laughed. They gasped. Their eyes opened wide. The adults cheered. Others were not. The kids screamed. They cried. Their heads buried. The adults consoled them.

Primeval Whirl - Norah's face is the perfect mix of fear and exhilaration. 

Fast! (check) A Blast! (not so much)

     Blizzard Beach is one of two fantastic water parks at Disney. The kids enjoyed all the slides, but really loved the zip line (left). The 120 foot drop makes Summit
Plummet the second-tallest and fastest free fall slide in the world. The grown kids braved that one. (right)

      Before we even left for Florida, Nadia proclaimed that the only thing she wanted to go on, was the flying Dumbo ride. Having never seen that movie, we weren't sure what her fascination with that ride was. Yet, true to form, it ended up being her favorite.

     Even the wild animals at Disney were courteous and accommodating. Kilimanjaro Safaris at Animal Kingdom was a hit for the whole crew.

     The Hollywood Tower of Terror is the coolest ride in Disney. Scary, thrilling, and awesome. Nina loved it so much, she did it twice.

Disney Characters

Taking pictures with Disney characters was hit or miss for our gang. Nadia didn't always like posing for the photos, but loved hugging all of them.

Pluto and four Goofy's

Minnie loved their outfits.

Hugs.

More hugs.

Dinner with Winnie the Pooh and his pals.

Biggest hug of all.
