Naples, Florida - Day 2

Image

Day 2 - Disney Land

Image
             What I did - Disney Land   For breakfast, we ate at Carnation Café, which is located in Disneyland on Main Street. I ordered the Mickey-shaped waffle with sausage ($12.00) and the Seasonal Fruit ($3.00). Mine was excellent, of course you can't go wrong with a Mickey Mouse waffle. My mother, father and grandmother had the Eggs Benedict ($11.00). I had a small taste of it and it was very good. I would recommend this place to anyone. We then explored the park and rode some rides. I even got my grandmother, who is 56, to get on the Pirates of the Caribbean water ride. She complained about getting wet, but she seemed to enjoy herself. At 11:30 am, my grandmother, mother and myself went to the spa for facials while my dad went golfing. We had the Fire & Ice massage ($165.00) which was wonderful. After the spa, we ate lunch at Café Orleans in New Orleans Square. For starters, we split the Pommes Frites ($7.00) which is ...

Memory Keeping: Travel Journal

Image
I have been keeping a travel journal since I was ten. I still remember when my mother bought me my first travel journal. We were going to France, and she wanted for me to have a way to look back on those wonderful memories I had created. I buy a new travel journal for every location I visit. If you don't travel as much as I do, then one journal would suffice. I wish you luck with your writing journal. - I prefer the old-fashion journal, but if you are like many, there are travel apps for this kind of thing. Blog or Book is the one I would recommend. - Make sure to include your itinerary. - During the day, whip out your journal and write down your key visits and anything you especially loved. Include someone you may have met or the best thing you ate that day. - Include pictures, sketches, photos, etc. - Write before the trip too. Imagine what your trip will be like or even what you would like to do. There is no right or wrong. - Jot down key locations...

Untitled #182 by swimwearlover featuring canvas trainers This morning we ate Mickey Mouse waffles and fruit at Cape May Café. Everything was very good, and I always eat Mickey waffles at least once every time I visit Disney. We then went to Epcot this morning. My favorite ride is Soarin' Around The World and Frozen Ever After. We had lunch at  the Yorkshire Fish and Chip Shop and I had fish and chips. It was very good of course. After lunch we went back to the hotel and went swimming for a while. After we finished swimming, we went to Hollywood Studios. My favorite rides are the Tower of Terror and Rock and Roller Coaster.  For dinner we ate at a buffet called Hollywood and Vine in Hollywood Studios. It is a buffet, but has everything you could ever want. The mac n cheese was excellent and the lobster was divine. After we ate, we headed over to Disney Springs, formerly known as Downtown Disney, and went on Aerophile, a hot air balloon ride. It costs $20 d...
