Orlando Like You Mean It

Aaand we're back from Orlando. After a few days of recoup we can update with more than just photos on our Facebook page (although those are fun too! And don't forget to like us!). We, of course, tried to pack in as much adventure as possible into our trip. Starting with a trip to Sea World. Chunk especially like the Manta (see below) and the Kraken, while KJ was impressed with the various shows you could see (again, see below).



If you look close, you can see Chunk in the front row with our friend K.
We even made a friend!

So what else did we do? We hit up Universal Studios on Saturday which ended up being craziness on the Studio side since Pitbull was playing a concert later that night. Note to selves: Don't go anywhere where Pitbull will be. Who knew that guy was so popular?
 
The Jurassic Park ride....can you spot Chunk?
Seuss central in Universal.
 We also enjoyed some Orlando dining including Four Rivers Smokehouse (so delicious! Definitely go there if you're in Orlando.) and Cocoa Beach for a quick jaunt to the ocean. Our trip also included a trip to Disney's Typhoon Lagoon for a day of lounging and even a trip on the water coaster! 


Walt Disney World was accomplished on our final two days in Orlando. We hit up all four parks, enjoying breakfast at Tusker House (now character dining which is so fun!), the Flower and Garden Festival at Epcot (how we always manage to be in Disney at this time is beyond me), movie rides at Hollywood Studios and all the magic that the Magic Kingdom always delivers. We even got to scope out some of the new Fantasyland additions, but didn't manage to make it to Be Our Guest Restaurant (next time!).

We love WDW, but four parks in two days was a bit intense. Not recommended for those who've never been, and while we got to hit up a lot of the things we wanted to do, we didn't get to do everything we wanted to. We're already planning our next trip back. Perhaps Christmas time?

See more of our adventures on our Facebook page.

Happy Adventuring!
