For 3 years now we have made Walt Disney World in Florida our top vacation destination. My first time at Disney was 25 years ago, in 1982 just before they built Epcot. To say things have changed at the land of the mouse would be an understatement! By the spring of 2004, Disney was no longer just for kids. “BUT” we sure felt like kids! I fell in love with the amusement parks all over again.

Planning is a must when visiting Walt Disney World. We start by determining which park we are going to visit each day and then choosing which restaurant we would like to relax and kick back at. There is some outstanding food to be found if you venture away from the parks. If you’re into steak, the Yachtsman Steakhouseis the best. Not into steaks? Another great place to eat is Portobello Yacht Club, they serve the best pasta & pizza dishes around. If you just want to catch some sports action, go to the ESPN Bar
We always find time to get in some resort hopping. It is a nice break from the fast pace of the parks.Looking for "Hidden Mickey" is always treat.

This time we stayed at the Contemporary Resort and booked the Magic Kingdom view. A view of a life time I would say! We were able to watch the Wishes Fireworks from the privacy of our own balcony. The rooms have recently been renovated and certainly have a new feel.We’ve already made plans for our next trip to Disney.
