    First time at Universal Studios | Orlando

    May 15, 2013 /

    Our next stop was universal parks. Although the parking and access are the same, universal’s park is divided into Universal Studios and Universal Island of Adventures. You pass through an area full of bars and shops that resemble downtown Disney and then head to the entrance of one or another park. On this day, we decided to know the part of Universal Studios, which proved to be the emptier park of all that we went on this trip. Apparently a lot of people prefer the other side of the park. Several attractions and you have the option to pay an extra to go in the fast lines. At this time…

    Magic Kingdom | Disney 2013

    May 9, 2013 /

    Get ready for a flurry of photos. I'll let you know! Magic Kingdom, well, is a classic. I always imagined myself visiting and seeing the castle up close and everything. For those who do not know, the park is really full of magic. And why not talk about the crowd that works there and is all over the corner of the park. Starting with the parking lot, as I mentioned, they help car by car. Then, every 5 minutes, pass the tram to take you to the access to the monorail or ferry boat. All in the greatest enthusiasm. The 3 of us took a quick pass at the end…

    Hollywood Studios

    May 6, 2013 /

    We took advantage of that domingão to go to Hollywood Studios, another Disney park, because we thought that during the weekend the popular Magic Kingdom should be fuller and crowd no one deserves. And I believe it was an advantage, because the park was not so full, giving us a chance to enjoy many of the things. Disney Hollywood Studios was called MGM Studios until January 2008, so for those who visited the park before that, don't get confused because it's the same park… Hehe In addition to the attractions described in the photos below, diego was still in The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror (Hollywood Tower) and the Roller…

    Animal Kingdom, Texas

    April 29, 2013 /

    For the few who are following or for those who have arrived now, you can see the previous posts here – Downtown Disney – Epcot Center Same routine for the day we went to Animal Kingdom. Wake up, get everything ready for another long, fun day ahead. Alice's snacks couldn't be missed. Soon, we would get together in one of the rooms and enjoy a makeshift breakfast (not included in the hotel rate… and we wanted to save…). Another sunny day, which was great. Again, when arriving at the parking lot of the park and there parking with the help of several guides, we took the tram (little train) until…

    Epcot Center, New

    April 26, 2013 /

    Photo Classic Epcot – Alice loved the Minnie and Mickey blue whitings… First official park we visited was the Epcot Center. We chose him to hear that there were several attractions covered and the weather was a little undecided, but in the end I don't think it rained… I confess that I do not know how were the queues at the time the park opened, at 9 am, because we always arrive after 11 am in the park. It's just that apparently we're not "moning people" hehehe. You still have to park the car and take a tram (little train) to the entrance of the park, like all Disney parks,…

    Orlando & Downtown Disney

    April 24, 2013 /

    Oh Florida, Florida, you know how to amaze these almost Canadian Brazilians. Our little vacation left a taste of want more, for a little warmth and summer that never arrives. As soon as we landed in Orlando, our first destination, we already felt the warm breeze that reached us through the doors of the airport. Only big regret was the time we decided to leave (okay, it was cheaper). We woke up 3:30am, got ready and set off for Ottawa Airport to catch our flight that was leaving at 5:45am. Bah, right! Alice, who no longer has the best fame when it comes to sleeping, woke up when we picked…
