This trip was a large group we had over 300 people on this trip and took 7 charter buses to get there. While the buses were much nicer than school buses it still took over 24 hours to get there with all the stops and it everyone was glad when we arrived at the hotel. We did have one adventure on the way to Orlando, we had a stow away. After talking with the parents the student was picked up by the police at our first stop to wait for his parents.
Our first day in Orlando spent at Disney but we spent it in two parks. We were at Animal Kingdom until late afternoon and then Epcot until it closed.
When we first arrived at Animal Kingdom Randy and I headed to the Asia area, Jeff was with his friends most of the day so we did no see him much. Randy wanted to ride the Mount Everest Ride. Randy likes roller coasters but since I do not like roller coasters at all Randy went on it without me and was able to get on almost immediately because he was a single and could fill a open seat. We did the walking treks and the trails which are fun. We did not do things in any real order but crisscrossed the park several times before it was time to leave.
When we arrived at Epcot we went in with Jeff and his friends so I was able to take some pictures of them entering the park. Epcot was also where Jeff remembered to get his picture taken with some of the characters: Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Goofy. When we were walking over to Mexico to get some food we ran across Rafiki and Jeff got his picture with him too. After Jeff ate he met back up with his friends and we met up with them to watch Illuminations light show. Both times I have been to Epcot has been during their topiary show which is just beautiful. The topiaries make me wish that I could grow plants instead of killing them.
