Woohoo, so Tim and I had a great time at Disney World last week. I don’t have too much time to summarize the entire excursion, but we spent 7 days in Orlando, Florida enjoying all Mickey Mouse had to offer.

Coronado Springs Resort

We left for Disney on August 30th (Sunday) at 7am and arrived at our Disney resort, Coronado Springs, around 11am. We were super tired from having to wake up at 5am to catch our flight, so like old farts we took a 3 hour nap and headed out to Hollywood Studios in the afternoon.

Hollywood Studios

I really did like Hollywood Studios a great deal and we got to most of the attractions that evening before it closed. Next up was the Magic Kingdom which we covered almost completely. Space Mountain unfortunately was closed. Otherwise it was a ton of fun, albeit incredibly hot and sunny.

Magic Kingdom

The following day we hit Epcot for the first time. We spent two days there as the park is massive. Tim and I both agreed that it was our favorite out of the four main theme parks. I really liked the whole cultural bit they had with all the separate countries and the ethnic food was awesome.

We also tried Typhoon Lagoon one day. I don’t have any pictures of it and it’s a fair water park, but I’ve been to better before. I really think Disney should have consolidated the two water parks into one since Typhoon Lagoon by itself is meager in its offerings when I compare it to water parks like Caribbean Beach in Korea. The final park we visited was the Animal Kingdom which was a lot of fun. I’m a huge fan of zoos and it had a great off-roading safari ride. I also got to pet goats and cows in the petting zoo which is always a win situation with me.

The last place we checked out while there was Downtown Disney. It’s not a Disney park and it’s open to the public. It’s mostly a shopping and dining area themed Disney style. We had an awesome authentic Irish dinner there that was arguably one of the best dinners we had while on Disney property.

All in all, the entire trip was really, really fun and a much needed vacation for both Tim and myself. This is honestly a crazy brief entry as I’m a bit busy tonight, but I wanted to get a few pictures up to people who wondered how my trip went. The rest of my pictures are posted on my Flickr and trust me, there are manyyyy.

In Boston! Moved in this weekend and I start work tomorrow morning. Went with the boyfriend to the Boston Aquarium on Saturday. Didn’t get as many pictures as I had wanted due to limited time, but we had fun and that’s all that matters.

I love the architecture in Boston.

Tim and I coaxed a passerby to take a photo of us by the Boston Harbor.

This picture isn’t the greatest, but I tried to take a quick picture of the harbor.

The aquarium had a beautiful display of fish. We only had an hour to venture around so I didn’t get many good quality pictures, unfortunately.

This fish was just the coolest! It blended in so well with its environment.

The jellyfish they had were beautiful, if not a bit freaky. I don’t get how they don’t get tangled up together with their 3 foot long tendrils.

I feel like I’m on a posting roll lately! Honestly, it’s just me diverting my attentions away from classwork and projects and trying to pretend I’m done with classes. <_<

The weather was lovely a few days ago so I took my kitty, Micaiah, out for a walk. She rarely gets to go out of the apartment since Rochester weather is so bad, so I’m sure she was quite happy to lay in the grass.

Kitty was enjoying the grass and dandelions. She was nibbling on the grass and I caught a funny pose of her.
