Disney: Day 8

Published by Steven Gabbard under Steven's Blog

Our 8 day trip has come to an end. We flew back to Lexington today. Once we returned, we took a nap to catch up on missed sleep.

Sheena and I had a great trip. It went by too quick and we look forward to our next trip.

More photos will be added to the photos section of the website.

Disney: Day 7

Published by Steven Gabbard under Steven's Blog

Today was spent at the Magic Kingdom… but it was not the same as our other visits.

Today we got to participate in a Keys to the Kingdom behind the scenes tour. During the tour we were able to see areas that are off limits to everyone else. With that said, photography was not allowed.

When you visit Disney, I do recommend you inquire about the tour. You will be glad you did.

After the tour we went back to the room and due to a massive storm, we did not return to the park.

Below are the few photos I have.

Disney: Day 6

Published by Steven Gabbard under Steven's Blog

Today we spent the day at Hollywood Studios (formally MGM Studios). The park is geared towards film and guest having an opportunity to go “back stage” to see what actually takes place.

Below are photos taken with my phone during the day

Disney: Day 5

Published by Steven Gabbard under Steven's Blog

Today we went to Magic Kingdom and spent the first part of the day there. Improvements have been made to the Hall of Presidents. The next time you are there, I do recommend you checking them out.

We took advantage of Magic Hours and spent the evening at EPCOT. Below is a video I recorded for the Spaceship Earth ride.

Disney: Day 4

Published by Steven Gabbard under Steven's Blog

We have reached day 4 of our stay at Disney. Today we spent most of our time at Hollywood Studios. I have to admit, we were very tired today. I was more tired than normal due to the late nights and early mornings. The good thing about the part we went to today is that there are many shows which provide great opportunities to take naps.

After staying at the park for a few hours, we returned to the room and went to Disney Quest later that evening and played a lot of really cool games.

Below are photos from the day and a picture of our treehouse.

Disney: Day 3

Published by Steven Gabbard under Steven's Blog

Today we started day 3 of our stay at Disney. We started the day at Epcot. Epcot brought back a lot of great memories of my visit a child. A lot of things are the same but there are also a lot of new adventures.

We spent the whole day at Epcot and had dinner at ESPN Grill. It was another great and hot. We will return later in the week.

Below are photos from day 3 at Disney.

Disney: Day 2

Published by Steven Gabbard under Steven's Blog

Day two of Disney has come and gone. It started off at Animal Kingdom and ended at Magic Kingdom.

Disney’s fireworks show was nothing short of great. There were a lot of people at the park to watch the show… many who did not have anywhere to be and did not care of you did.

Overall, we had a great time. After the show we went back to the room with intentions of going to Disney quest later in the eveing. After walking around the resort for what felt like an hour looking for our room, we decided to call it a night.

Later on we learned of the monorail crash that killed one person.

Below are photos taken during the day. This has been another 100% iPhone blog.
