Writing this too late after the trip, but like to capture the memories before it fades off from my brain.
Last time we went to Orlando is during 2011 Thanksgiving, Ani was 5 years and Rishi was 3 years at that time, we visited Animal Kingdom, Universal Studios and Magic Kingdom. Being very young they did not remember any bit out of that trip, So thought we will go again before they grow too old for Disney parks.
So here we go, finally made this trip in Jan 2019. It’s a short 3 day trip, but we made most out of it. Took a flight from STL to ORLANDO, Reserved a condo to stay during our stay- it’s a beautiful place to stay.
Day 1 – is flight to ORLANDO, pick up car, Orlando Mall with Crayola factory, Microsoft, VR tour etc… then at the end of day we headed to the stay where we cooked our breakfasts/dinner’s and relaxed after long days.
Day -2 – Visited Epcot, beautiful park. Less crowded since we went after big Christmas break, not many lines, so it was a fun day with less crowds.
Day -3 – Visited Kennedy Space Center, it’s a good educational tour for kids and us. We enjoyed it thoroughly knowing how advanced all the space related stuff is. Ani asked so many good questions to the guide helping us.
We stopped at beach on the way back and had lots of fun with sand and water. Perfect ending.
Returned back to airport after returning rental car and headed back to St.louis.
This seems to be very simple, but lots of planning and execution involved in it, but hey- we had a life time memory that can cherish forever. Looking forward for more of these short trips around in 2019.
