When I was at Walt Disney World, these are the 8 attractions I enjoyed the most.
Toy Story Mania
Wear 3-D glasses and enjoy an interactive ride where the goal is to shoot projectiles like eggs, darts, balls, and rings. See a variety of characters including Toy Story’s Woody, Buzz, Hmm, Bo Peep and Green Army Men. This is a very popular ride, so it’s best to get a FAST PASS. This is by far my favorite ride. I made it to the beaver (based on your score, you are given an animal).
Epcot World Showcase is a fun and relaxing theme park. Here are tips and places to check out while you’re here.
Obtain Map and Show times guide as you explore each area.
Passport is a great way to explore the park.
You can get it “stamped” at each land by a cast member. Epcot sells these passports at any of the shops or carts for $10. It comes with a pin and a set of stickers.
Cinderella’s Royal Table

Personal Experience: I ate here on July 3rd. We made a dinner reservation for 8:40 PM (which was made 2 months in advance). I had a delicious crab soup for appetizer and salmon with lemon caper sauce for the main dish. For desert I had a creme brulee. The atmosphere was excellent as we were also able to see the fireworks (4th of July special).
Recently my fiance and I had the opportunity to go to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. In order to maximize our time, we planned ahead. This is a sample of my itinerary for July 3rd. It was a busy day in the park, but we were still able to see a lot of the attractions.
Started at 11:30 AM. First made our way toward Adventureland to eat lunch at the quick service eatery El Pirata y El Perico Restaurante. Located across from the Pirates of the Caribbean, the menu includes tacos, veggie taco and a taco salad. I had the taco sald, which was really good.
This is a beautiful research and education institution in San Marino, California. It consists of three different areas. The library contains rare books and manuscripts like the Gutenberg Bible and Ellesmere Manuscript of Chaucer. The art collection is equally impressive containing such famous works as Thomas Gainsborough’s The Blue Boy. Once you step outside, you are faced with 120 acres of botanical gardens. It is divided into more than a dozen themes, including the Australian Garden, Camellia Collection, Desert Garden, Herb Garden, Japanese Garden, Rose Garden, Chinese Garden, Shakespeare Garden, Subtropical and Jungle Garden.
These are some more of my summer movie picks for the summer.

Currently, I am in the middle of planning a trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. During my web surfing, I came across helpful websites that each have great tips on planning for a great vacation.
Register and there are a variety of tools to help you plan. You can create and save your own itinerary. It is an easy way to plan out in detail where you want to go on what day. You can also create your own personalized colored map. Disney will send this to you for free or you can print it in your own home. Also through this Disney homepage, you can also order a free vacation planning DVD.
I interrupt the travel log series, to write this blog about a recent professional men’s golf tournament I had the opportunity to attend. It was the third round of the 2009 Northern Trust Open held at the Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California. Mostly I followed the crowd of Phil Mickelson, whom I have been a long time fan. Golf is a great sport, since it feels quite interactive. You can choose to follow a player or players through each hole or sit at a certain hole and watch all of the players play. I did both to get different perspectives. Here are five things that I learned from watching this tournament.
Recently I finished reading Stephanie Meyer’s 1st book, Twilight and was immediately hooked. Although fiction, she incorporated many of the ideals within a relationship. These themes are easy to relate to and may apply to all relationships. Please be advised that there are SPOILERS!
Forbidden love, overcoming barriers and differences
Edward Cullen and Bella Swan are not meant to be in love. They must overcome barriers between the life of a vampire and a life of a ordinary girl living in Forks.
