1. A Hollywood set for flash floods, tankers bursting into flames, mountians..
2. This is where different Disney costumes are made.
We drove to Disney in Orlando (Florida) during Christmas vacation. B-i-l came with his daughter. We drove though Virginia and South Carolina - saw beautiful snow-covered trees and mountainous regions). Halted in a motel for the night. Kids enjoyed the halt as 3 of them were throwing up.
Coming back, we took the Georgia-Atlanta-Ohio route. Saw scenic distant hills, countryside, lakes, rivers. We stayed in Atlanta.
Ohio had snow fall and roads were bad, traffic was real slow, many cars in front of us skidded and was stuck in the ditches... police, accidents. We were blessed with a slow, safe ride.
Disney is really for those who love fantasy. They have live shows, parades, 3D movies, fireworks, rides, a lot of walking.
Lines were, of course, huge with 1-hr waits . They have a system of fast pass, so one goes running to pick those up. Then run from east to west or north, south, depending on where the next pass was for.
The parks are really huge. Their parking areas to the entrance takes 30/45 min. They had some kind of trains/buses to take us in.
They have all sorts of ideas. But tends to make a hole in one's pocket. There were people from Paris, UK who had just come there.
It was tiring with kids whining, cool/warm temps, being on one's feet the whole time. Well, not easy. From morning to night 7ish we were there. Although our hotel was just a 5-min drive away, by the time we reached there it would be 9ish!
But all said and done, it was a good experience. Everyone loved the place.

Nice Usha. We're yet to go. Somehow James doesn't seem to be too keen.
A fantastic account of a chilling experience! Usha, post more photos, when you've time.
Glad to hear you had fun during Xmas.
Thx,all,
Maha,we saw lot of Canada reg cars. it maybe very long drive for u guys.If James likes Disney characters(have photo of power rangers,jedi) then he may enjoy. everything revolves around that.rides- my oldest said is better at ceder point Ohio, or bil said in PA.
rajeev, what photos u like to see will try and send by mail.
take care
Oh yes it is popular destination for Canadians - adults uses their kids as an excuse to go to Disney Land. I am not one for rides so it hasn't been a temptation. Since James hasn't shown much interest we haven't bothered so far.
The slipper roads won't be new to us since we drive on ice 8 months a year :) I think we'll do it in summer though.
If u like live shows, movies you will enjoy it. Rides there are small rides. Few which are big.If James likes rides then he will enjoy those.
But if u want to do rides there is sea world and other things also there. We did not go there. Tickets are expensive at entrance.
Great to know about Disney Land..AM
I am sure they are expensive. You have to buy tickets for each and everything don't you. We went Sea World in San Diego with Sunita and we have been to Six Flags. I think we have covered a lot between the two. But we'll consider it in the future.
The ticket at the entrance covers all the inside stuff. each ticket is 80$ and above depending on age or type u take. food is costly.
yes , if u did san diego,6flags -i suppose u sort of got it.
But each place i am sure has its own good points...or rides or shows..!
