The Ultimate Disney Trip
I was never much a Disney fan until I moved to Florida. And then, when I had my daughter the Disney-mania really kicked in and took over in my life. My daughter is obsessed with the Disney Princesses and we go to the annual Pirates and Princess Party at the Magic Kingdom in Orlando for her birthday every year. And, when we can afford it, we enjoy the other parks as well. My personal favorite is Epcot.
You may be aware that Disney has been doing this Year of a Million Dreams promotion for more than a year now. People win random awesome prizes on a daily basis. Well, a Florida teenager won the ultimate prize last year – an around-the-world tour of all eleven Disney theme parks.
Joshua Peterson of Eustis, FL is only 18, but a visit to Epcot last year put his in the right place at the right time and he was given the “grand marshal world tour” prize – which makes this teenager a world traveler. His whole family will go along for the ride. It all begins with a parade at the Magic Kingdom on Wednesday. Then, the Petersons get to visit the three other Disney parks in Florida, followed by the parks in Anaheim, California; Hong Kong; Tokyo; and Paris.
Yep. I’m just a tad jealous.
That is pretty awesome. I would love to win something like that and be able to travel the ‘Disney World’ with my family. I love visiting going to DisneyLand. Even though I am a 23 year old guy, it is still a happy magical place.
I hated disney. There was nothing to do there and I broke my finger while swimming.
I never thought there was a whole lot to do until I had my daughter. She is 5 and the place is like a dream come true for her. If someone had told me there would be a day I would be happy just watching my daughter be happy, I would not have believed them.
Aside from that, I had never gone to Epcot until this past February. I sure wish I had done it sooner. It is absolutely an adult’s theme park.
