Orlando pics - Islands of Adventure

Oct 13, 2006 11:29

Yeees, finally. xD *bows to Krissy*





It's like...a three hour drive from my town to Orlando. x_X And considering I was squished between my best friend Krissy and my sister cac, it was a looong three hours. So I played Pokemon. xD



We always stop at the same rest stop, but the very blunt SNACKS sign never fails to amuse me. :D



WE'RE ONLY HALFWAY THERE?!



First stop: Downtown Disney, where the best shopping is. It's very hard to get a picture of something in a moving vehicle.



We ate at McDonald's. I hate McD's, but only because I used to work there. I'm just showing this off because of the awesome ceiling. xD



There's a whole big Lego store, complete with Lego creatures. Rawr I eat you. xP



Lookit me! I'm a tourist! xD



Close up of the dogs. <3



This thing is ENOURMOUS. I always wonder how long it took whoever created it to put it all together. xP



Funny thing was, she really *was* on the phone. xD



Cac and I joke that we only come to Disney for the ducks. We see ducks EVERY time we go there.



Krissy has a foot fetish. I don't know either. xD



I love Stitch! :D This was at the top of the biggest store at the place. Water would randomly shoot out of his mouth and onto unsuspecting people. >D

Time to play: LET'S TRY ON RANDOM HATS!



Krissy's a pretty pretty princess. :D



She won't admit that she totally loved this hat. xD



That one lit up. It was trippy. :D



Some woman passed by and said this one was so *me*. xD And it went perfectly with my shirt. *cough cough* ;D



I am a ho for this picture. <3 Funny this is, if I ever DID get married, I probably would be the groom. xD

Then there was the hotel, where there are pictures in my previous entry. ;D



Krissy got the top bunk. She's silly, hehehe.



She's workin' my old McD's shirt. xD

Now...the park! :D



If you drive there, you have to go through a very looong entrance, complete with escalators and moving sidewalks, both which totally amuzed Krissy.



I think they were singing an old BSB song that was playing in the background. xD



We were *supposed* to eat there Monday night, but we were all too exhausted.



The Islands of Adventure tower! Yaaay!



We were waiting for my stepbrother, who joined us at the park. And yes, we're uber dorks. xD



But she's dorkier. 8D



Random building. This place really goes all out with detail and extras. Haha I love it.



The first ride we went on was 'The Amazing Adventures of Spiderman', which is like a 3D show and roller coaster in one. There was no line, so we went on twice. :D But here is...I think before we went on Dr. Doom's Fear-fall, which shoots you up and down.



That's the top of the towers. IT'S FREAKING TALL. @_@ Ack. But anyway, I rode that for you, fantasia0829 xD



Attack of the Uber Dorks, part II.



Next was Toon Lagoon, which is basically a big puddle of water. WATER EVERYWHERE, and the best water rides are here, too. And they have these rad things.



Wrong Cloud over my head. xDD



We got *soaked* on the Popeye River Raft ride alone. xD



Krissy in front of the Dudley Do-Right log flume. Yes, that is a huge drop. And no, there aren't any seatbelts or anything. It rocks. >D



According to her, that water was "F*CKING COLD!"



Our picture from the Jurassic Park ride, which I rode for x_mish_x. xD Try to find me! I only had one arm up 'cause my other one was around Krissy...she was afraid she was gonna fall out. xD



My leg is comfy. :D



Random Dippin' Dots stand. If you don't know what that is, you'll find out later. >D



RAWR I EAT YOU



Krissy and I in front of the Dueling Dragons coaster! :D This is just about one of the only upside-down ones I'll go on. It's two different coasters (that represent two dragons, fire and ice) and they supposedly go around each other, but I don't pay attention. xD I rode this for grapesrgone. ;D



A view of the coaster. We rode on the Ice one. Representin' Vexen, yo! xDD



The wait said 10 minutes, but only because it took us that long to walk through all the empty space! X_x



Some random Lost Continent creature thing. A gryphon? XD I dunno.



Back to the Marvel place for lunch. Mmmyes.



A view of the other roller coaster there, Hulk Buster. I rode on it once--NEVER AGAIN. @_@



IT'S PURE TERROR AND HORROR AND I HATE IT. D:



What I love about this park is all the detail they put into everything. Like a comic book, there's no name for places-they just call it what it is. Like ARCADE. Or SHOP. XD
And that's Stan Lee Blvd. If you don't know. Stan Lee is a HUGE name in comic books. He rocks.



Poor Captain America; nobody likes him. D:



We ate at a DINER. XD



...That has really, really good chicken. Mmmyes.



Onto Seuss Landing, my FAVORITE section of the park, maybe even more than Marvel-land. :D



Entrance to the Cat in the Hat ride. xD That just may be my favorite ride EVER. Maybe.



The store the ride dumps you off in. xD



She'd look awesome with blue hair; am I right?! xD



I LOVE CAROSELS SO STFU. XD Krissy looks...thrilled. xD



For reasons I don't know, my stepbrother's nickname is Heffer...so when I saw that he was riding a cow, I cracked up. xD



I'm smiling beneath the shadows >D



There were actually random characters walking around! A MIRACLE! O_O



Thing 1 likes Krissy's hair. xD



They had this train thing, which was a new ride since I've last been there. Apparently I'm a stop for gas and food. xD



They had this saying on all the trash cans there. <3



Hey, it *was* my birthday vacation! xD



Point made. xD



On the way out, Krissy got a Cinnabon. Apparently she hadn't had one in YEARS. She was texting her mom about it. xD



She was laying on me. xD Ah, break time.



*That* is Dippin' Dots. Little frozen ice cream balls. I got Cotton Candy flavored. :D



Well don't look so thrilled to be leaving! (Nah, she was thrilled 'cause she was talking to her hunni. xD)



We parked in Jaws. Dun dun dun.



Moving sidewalks are very convinent. You can move without moving!



People had doodled their names and stuff on the bedframes, so I decided to leave an AkuRoku mark. >D It says 'Axel x Roxas = 4 Ever'. xD I also did one for all of my other pairings. Mwhahaha.



I still don't understand her foot fetish. xD



Before we went home on Tuesday, we had IHOP for breakfast. :D Oh IHOP, how I love you so! Although my dad was the only one that actually got pancakes. I'm a waffle kinda gal. >D



And so the three weary travelers hope they didn't leave anything behind in the hotel room, and didn't notice that we stole some towels. Whoops. :X



Later taters!

And when I got home, I was promptly attack by my dog and the neighbor kids.

Ahhh, freaking awesome vacation. THEME PARKS RULE!
