Friday 30 November 2012 Highlights: Business Class flights, Mexico City Immigration (not).

Thursday 29 November 2012 Highlights: Walt Disney World Parks “The Magic Kingdom” and “Hollywood Studios” Another early morning to catch the shuttle to Walt Disney World at 7.15 am.

Wednesday 15 December 1999 Highlights: Disney Epcot We went to the Disney Epcot Park today which features science, technology and the future. What we learnt was that it was mostly educational.

Tuesday 14 December 1999 Highlights: Disney MGM Theme Park, Beer inspired Uno Matches We decided to start with the Disney-MGM Theme Park since it is the newest park and it involves movies so I felt we were bound to love it. MGM has two great rides, the “Tower of Terror” and the “Rock ‘n’ Roll…

Monday 13 December 1999 Highlights: Running into a former school and cricket team friend We got up early for our longest non-overnight bus ride of 7 hours to Orlando.
