(I kept a daily log of my trip, and now I'm posting it here because of things.)

Day 1

First day of travel. We didn't quite make it to Disney World, but luckily some friends of ours let us stay with them for the night.

Day 2

Second day of travel. We made it to Disney World in time for dinner, but first we went to check into our room at the Polynesian Village Resort. It was a nice room with three beds, two bathrooms, and of course, a balcony with a view of Cinderella's Castle. We found a TV Channel that aired Mickey Mouse cartoons, and that quickly became our favorite channel. I don't know why, but Disney World always had a special place in my heart, like a second home.

Day 3

Magic Kingdom

What a day! I missed Disney World so much, and for good reason. My little brother became a Sorcerer apprentice. Since I was already a Master Sorcerer, earning the title a few years ago, I taught my brother some cool things about being a sorcerer. After a bit of messing around and defending the Kingdom against a villain or two, we decided to finally go on a ride. We went to Frontierland first and rode Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and a family favorite in that park, Splash Mountain. We also went to see a Mickey Mouse performance with the Philharmagic Orchestra, which unfortunately didn't happen because Donald Duck messed it up. Among other rides were Dumbo the Flying Elephant in the new Storybook Circus, the Haunted Mansion in Liberty Square, and a mine train in Fantasyland. The only area we couldn't get to was Tomorrowland, which was a shame because my personal park favorite was there, Space Mountain. Nevertheless, it was a fun and fantastic day, with a great big beautiful tomorrow just a dream away.

Day 4

Epcot

The Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow, or Epcot. Not exactly great, big, or beautiful weather like I had hoped, but this is my favorite park so I won't let that get me down! We time-traveled through recorded history in Spaceship Earth, built our on Chevrolet Custom Concept Vehicle (or CCV) and drove it on the Test Track, flew to Mars on Mission: SPACE, and built our own Rollercoaster and rode that on Sum of all Thrills. We also flew across the land with Soarin', and through the seas with Nemo. We also traveled across the world, proof of this being a small Piplup I bought from Japan. When I say small, I mean it; the thing is smaller than Widy! All in all, today was an unqualified success in my opinion.

Day 5

Animal Kingdom & Downtown Disney

Today was very rainy, and once the rain started in the early afternoon it wouldn't stop. We managed to go on a safari walk at Animal Kingdom, and rode a train through Mount Everest, almost being eaten by the Yeti along the way. We also went to the Tree of Life and took shelter from the rain there before heading to Downtown Disney to shop. There, I got a Duffy the Disney Bear, hand-made by Minnie Mouse herself. Not much else happened today. We're exiting Disney property tomorrow, hopefully it will be less rainy...

Day 6

Busch Gardens

The park of Busch Gardens was surprisingly small. We did almost everything there, even after a two-hour park shutdown. Not much else to say. I liked it, but it wasn't as exciting as Disney.

Day 7

Magic Kingdom II

Since we missed it last time, today's main focus was Tomorrowland. We started with the Peoplemover, powered by Tomorrowland Transit Authority, which took us on a tour of the land. Afterwards, we volunteered to be security guards at an intergalactic prison. Unfortunately, we were sent to guard a creature called experiment 626, also known as Stitch. He got away. We also were drafted by Star Command to fend the galaxy from the evil Emperor Zurg. Our ally was Buzz Lightyear himself. With his help, we were able to put Zurg behind bars, guarded by (hopefully) better guards than us. We also rerode some stuff in the other lands. In addition, I became a pirate and help Captain Jack Sparrow retrieve the Treasure of the Pacific Ocean. At the end of the day, we went back to our room and watched fireworks from the balcony.

Day 8

Hollywood Studios

The hottest park in Disney on the hottest day so far... Anyways, we went to several rides here, such as The Great Movie Ride, but our favorite HAS to be the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith. When we first got to the park, I was disappointed to find that my favorite Disney landmark, a giant Sorcerer Mickey hat, has been removed to make way for a Frozen show. On second thought, I was more than disappointed. It almost ruined the entire day. We decided that the new show might be only temporary and that the hat will return soon, and I felt much better. We also tried to book a flight in Star Tours, but one of my variants got me in a bit of trouble with the Galactic Empire... They mistook me for a Rebel spy, long story short. At the end, we went to see a spectacular 4th of July fireworks show that brightened the night sky for a good 10 straight seconds. On the way out of the park, I got a stuffed Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. He's older than Mickey Mouse! I go to Florida with Widy, and now I'm coming home with three more friends. Oh, I didn't mention that I brought Widy with me? Well, I brought him along.

Day 9

Adventure Island

We would have loads of fun here, except a thunderstorm closed the Adventure Island water park for half the day...

Day 10

Busch Gardens II

Not much to say that has already been said, honestly. I didn't think we'd go through the entire park last time.

Day 11

Out and About

Another fun day, and our last day in the resort. After doing some more Sorcerering in the Magic Kingdom and riding through the Mine of a Million Diamonds, we headed back to the resort and swam in the pool there. We then headed to dinner at the Picabu Buffeteria, before going to Hollywood Studios again to go to Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, and see another show. I'm sad to leave, but I know I would also be happy back in my own house.

Day 12

Third day of travel. What a pleasant surprise! Instead of heading straight back to our house, we're spending the night with some old friends of ours. I missed them, especially since they travel a lot. It's nice to be able to see them again! We played plenty of games. It'll be tough saying bye... even though we will leave in the morning.

Day 13

Fourth day of travel. I can't wait to tell everyone about my trip when I get home today! I'll let them decide whether I post some of the pictures I took along the trip or not. For now, however, this log is officially finished.
