The Happiest Place on Earth

October 26, 2019

Posted by author


Stephen met the glorious world of Orlando’s Disney.

We had all day park hopper passes, for three days.

 

Day 1 was Universal,

Day 2 was Animal Kingdom,

and day 3 was Blizzard Beach.

 

Universal was the winner for Stephen and I.

Happy Potter World, ’nuff said.

 

But in addition to the wizarding world of harry potter (which was super awesome) we felt like Universal had the best rides, best food, and best overall vibe.

 

Animal Kingdom could have easily been skipped and replaced with a different park.

I thought it was a little boring, and took so long to walk from one attraction to the next, (well it felt like so long in Florida’s humid heat) and really there is only like two rides worth doing anyway; the safari (not really a ride but more of an experience) and Expedition Everest (that was super fun).

I have heard that there are some awesome places to eat here though, like Tusker House for character dining.

But it was boasting a price tag of $36-$60 per person, and we were like, no thank you.

I was just wanting to go to the petting zoo, but it was shut down because of the storms.

It was upsetting.

 

My mom and Shane loved Blizzard Beach, but I am not a big water park fan.

If you love water slides, then you will love this park.

Shane and Stephen went down this slide.

Just looking at it made me want to pass out.

 

For me, I enjoy rides because I get to experience them with other people.

Playing off of each others fears and excitement is what makes it fun for me.

So standing in long lines to go down a slide by myself just doesn’t do it for me, personally.

There are two rides at BB that are for more than once person, and I had fun on those.

And there is a glimpse into the psychology of Megan and water parks.

Stephen was like a kid in a candy store the entire time, and that was the best part.

    Oh I loved Blizzard Beach! We went there back during the summer before my 9th grade year of hs…I graduated in 2001, do the math. A while ago, but I remember it being so much fun!

    I want to go to Harry Potter world so so much!! Jealous. I love Disney. We went a couple years ago with my husband’s family, and we went to 4 of the parks (not Blizzard Beach). Animal Kingdom was by far my least favorite. It was fine, but it was just no where near as good as the other 3. Epcot is my favorite (the worlds!!), and I love The Tower of Terror and the Rockin Roller Coaster at Hollywood Studios so much. Also the drive-in theater. Anyway, still looks fun no matter what. I’m loving the matching poses for each picture.

    I clicked on the link for the slide and said “Hail No!” It’s a little too steep a drop (esp. without a seatbelt) for me. But this post made me even more excited about visiting Orlando in December! FYI: Your brother has really good posture!

    Did you get to the Jurassic Park ride at Islands of Adventure? That one was always my favorite.

    Disney was a major highlight for me when I visited the States. I must admit that I stood crying at the castle as I had imagined all kinds of rooms filled with princess stuff but it was just a freaking tunnel!!! I agree animal kingdom for me was a bit of a let down and I was especially put off when the guide on safari did not know kudu from a gemsbok. Being from South Africa I was like “the difference is so glaringly obvious”!!

    I am not big on water parks either and ummm that slide is so NOT for me.

    Glad you got to show Stephen the happiest place on earth.

    Omg how do you not flip forward on that water ride?! I’m in a panic just looking at it.

    Also I think you should make a coffee table flip book of the boys and that repeating picture. I keep looking at them and chuckling.

    Yes, Universal’s Islands of Adventure is the BEST! The Hulk is one of my favorite coasters anywhere! And now that Harry Potter is there I pretty much want to live there. When my now-husband and I were going to HP for the first time I literally skipped all the way through the park to that section. My husband thought it was hilarious because there was a little boy skipping next to me and I was more excited than him! 🙂 Yeah, Animal Kingdom is my least favorite of all the Disney parks. Next time, do Epcot. It is so much fun as an adult! Drinks around the world! Plus I hear there are some fun rides, but I have never made it to them, haha. The rides at Hollywood Studios (formerly MGM Studios) are really awesome and nothing is as magical as the Magic Kingdom. I don’t like water parks either but I think it’s the germaphobe in me. I’m glad you guys had a great time!

    I am the biggest baby when it comes to “scary” rides AND water slides. Which is why Magic Kingdom is my favorite park–so I can ride safe, cute things like Haunted Mansion and Peter Pan. I do love Splash Mountain and Thunder Mountain, but I have been to Disney four times, and I haven’t (and will NOT) ride Space Mountain. Roller coaster + darkness? NO THANK YOU.

    I want to go to Harry Potter world SO SO SO badly. I am so insanely jealous that y’all were able to go! The only downside to my going is that I hear it’s only roller coaster-type rides, which I hate. So basically, which emotion is stronger: my fear of roller coasters or my love of Harry Potter?

    I remember being terrified of that slide aged 8, and I think I’m possibly more scared of it now. HOW is that slide any fun?! I’m jealous of the Harry Potter section of Universal though- I WANT TO GO! Glad you had fun though xx

    Oh, I am reliving our trip all over again! We absolutely loved universal too and we had fun at Blizzard Beach too (but we are coastal, pool folk) But I agree with Animal Kingdom (a huge let down for us safari people from South Africa) and we were bored at Epcot too (you didn’t miss out!) x

    Adorable! My mom has cousins in the Orlando area, many of whom have worked at Disney or Universal Studios at one point or another, so I was lucky to have gone multiple times as a kid. What fun memories. Definitely an experience worth having at any age 🙂 love how much Stephen clearly appreciated it!

    I think you already know how I feel about all of this! I ran from the gates, through Seuss Landing, past Poisedon’s Adventure, and STRAIGHT to The Wizarding World. Not ashamed to say that I outpaced a few 11-year-olds. Glad you had a great time! You’re making me miss Florida and home!

    I know this is a difficult question to answer, but is it as fun as Disneyland? Husband and I have heated convos about this.

    I’ve never been to Universal or Blizzard Beach, but I LOVE Disney World! I really like Animal Kingdom, but if I could only do one Disney park it would have to Magic Kingdom.
