We started in Main Street USA. There were several shops and restaurants. The
attractions were: Walt Disney World Railroad, because Mickey reached 60 years of
age, the train had been decorated with all presents, Disney MGM studios Preview
Center, here you could see a preview of the MGM studios which opened in spring
1989, Main Street movie theater and the Main Street Vehicles, among other things
the horse drawn trolley, double-decker omnibus, fire-engineer.
These
vehicles ride 1 way from Town Square by the Main Street to the Cinderella
castle. There you get off and get back with a another vehicle. There were
everywhere stops for the cars
We went further to Fantasyland. Through the castle and then you came at the
attractions, among other things: Snow White, Magic Journeys, Dumbo, Cinderella'
s carrousel, Peter Pan, It's a Small World, Mr.Tod's Wild Ride, Tea Cups and the
Sky Way. There are shops, in fact at each attraction, and also several
restaurants . We will drink and eat something before we go further. The time
flew and it was almost time for the parade.
It was considerably warm, the waiting times then were not yet
as large as now. But there were also many people waiting. Nicest attraction we
found was " It's a small world" at that time. You go with small boats all kinds
of countries, where the little dolls with the clothes of that country are
dancing and singing. Photos we did not have so many of this attraction..
Also we saw Mickey's Birthday country, where a
show was given.
"Minnie's Surprise show".
The parade
"Mickey's Birthday Parade" was super as well as the different
shows were which we saw. Disney is definitely not only for children.
We remained to the park will close, but at 17.00 o'clock there was
the Retreat Ceremony. The flag goes down and the Walt Disney
World Band played the patriotic songs.
The
next day we went to Epcot Center. With the monorail through the
hotel to World Showcase. You could also reach that area with
trolleybus.
These
drove around the World Showcase. Several countries to here. Mexico,
Norway, China, Germany, Italy, America, Japan, Morocco, France,
United Kingdom and Canada. One country was still more beautiful than
the other country.
In
those countries were attractions, shops and mostly restaurants. You
must look around here definitely at least 1 day to see everything.
We have done firstly the World
Showcase
and afterwards we went we to the other attractions. We had
still the sun and then the park sees this way sociably. We have
eaten in the China Pavilion and of course Chinese, it what was
delicious. In the afternoon at approximately 2 o'clock we left World
Showcase and get off to the rest of Epcot.
We went firstly into Spaceship Earth. We did this attraction,
without knowing what it was. But then we were within there, we know where we
were. But we have survived it, but that was 1 time only, we go never into that
attraction. Fortunately you did not see what happened there.
We took still what other attractions among other
things Journey into Imagination, The country and living Seas. Here
were also attractions inside
The
very first
acquaintance
with Disney was in 1988, then we on travel went to Florida. We stayed in Orlando
in the Quality Inn hotel. We will stay in Orlando for 1 week and than still 1
week in Miami. The park was then not so big that time. Only Walt Disney Park and
Epcot. MGM studio became built that year . Therefore a reason to return later
once more. That did we in 2000. We bought for now a 3 daily passport and we can
visit the park. We had 3 days after each other then to visit the park. We had
hired a car therefore that was no problem. Also there went a bus from the hotel,
but then you have been bounded to time.
We were very surprised, we had never seen something like that. What was
notable us was the kindness of the staff, they laughed all. The entourage if you
come into the park, you feel immediately to became a child. And the weather is
of course also an important factor. Generally nicely with from time to time a
strong rain fall. But these three days no rain fortunately,
