Magical getaway to Orlando, Florida Disney Disney Parks

Cinderella's castle at night. The lights changed colors..beautiful

daytime
It was so nice to getaway for a few days ( Saturday thru Tuesday) to Orlando,Florida to Disney World. I had been watching the weather before we left and the forecast looked like we would have a lot of rain. Thankfully the reports were wrong and we had beautiful warm, sunny days. Monday late afternoon we had a few brief showers, but we were eating dinner when most of the showers occurred. Our flights to and from Florida on Jet Blue were great and we arrived ahead of schedule both ways.
We stayed at All Sports Resort on Disney property, so we didn't have to rent a car, as we were able to use the bus services to and from the parks.
Huge star in front of registration building.

On the way to the park the first day we saw a large flock of Sandhill cranes. Beautiful! I so enjoy seeing all the beautiful birds in Florida.
At all the parks we were delighted to see that all the Christmas lights and decorations were still up. So beautiful during the day, but spectacular at night.
I will keeping adding  photos as I get them downloaded.

Buzz Lightyear ride



I can't believe that I did all the roller coaster and thrill rides (Thunder Mountain, Space Mountain and The Tower of Terror)...what can I say about the Tower of Terror other than everyone's hair lifted straight off their scalp and you came off of your seat by 6 inches. Holey Moley!!!!
I took lots of pictures and I haven't had time to download them all from my camera.
