While in Orlando for a journalism conference, I am managing to do some sightseeing and have some fun. It's been years (since 5th grade to be exact) that I last visited the "happiest place on earth," and it was great to be back.
From the moment I walked in, I was teleported back in time, and felt like a giant kid. The sights, the sounds, the happiness. Thousands and thousands of people all there experiencing the magic, and Florida heat, was all I needed to know I was going to have a good day.
After making my way down Main Street, I found the castle, and a show on-stage featuring various Disney characters. I watched the show for roughly 10 minutes before the adrenaline kicked in and I knew I was ready for some rides.
Space Mountain and Splash Mountain were among my favorites, and as the lines dwindled down later this evening, I took advantage to ride them multiple times.
My only complaint: long lines.
Space Mountain was an estimated 85 minute wait time and the Snow White ride was over 100 minutes. With wait times like this, one can spend much of the day standing around waiting.
All in all, it was great to be back. I can see why so many people visit Disney and return many times after.
