Celebration

 Celebration

Celebration is a town that was build by Walt Disney. Its a great place to visit because it is built in a nice location in Florida. There is a lot of shops there which my family members bought stuff from. Celebration is a nice place to eat at. It was that good that myself and my family went there three times for our dinner and believe me American food is a lot bigger than British food. I would recommend that if you ever go on hoilday to Florida you should go and visit Celebration because its a superb place for a holiday..

Disney Part 2

MGM Studios

MGM Studios was another Disney park I went too.MGM is brilliant, the rides there were cool. I went on a lot of them but my favourite rides were Tower of Terror and Rock 'n' Roller coaster. The Rock 'n' Roller coaster was great because it started to the rock band Aerosmith . It had some of their music through out the ride which was cool. MGM Stidios was the first Disney park I went to and as with Epcot and Magic Kingdom I went back there one more time before the end of my holiday.

Animal Kingdom

Animal Kingdom was another Disney park i went too. When you come through the entrance there is a tree which is called the tree of life. The tree has animal faces on it. There are a lot of rides at the park and there is also a safari that you can go on. That was the first thing i went on. On the safari you can see a lot of animals i.e. Lions, elephants and crocodiles. The park has a show called The Festival of the Lion King. It had all the songs from the movie and some of the characters were on show.

Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom was one of four Disney parks that I went too. When you drive through the entrance there is a sign saying "Where Dreams Come True".

There are many rides to go on at the park. Here are some of them, Splash Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Stitch's great  escape, Space Mountain. My favourite rides at the park were Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Splash Mountain. The first ride i went on was Pirates of the Caribbean. How does that song go again yo ho yo ho a pirates life for me and a bottle of rum. The ride had some of the characters from the movie like Captain Jack Sparrow, Dave Jones and Captain Barboca. I went back to Magic Kingdom one more time before i went back home.

Epcot

Epcot was another Disney park I went too. It was of the best of Disney parks because it had some cool rides to go on. Here are two of the rides I went on. Test track and Soarin, but there are many more rides that you can go on.

The best ride was Soarin. Here is some more infomation on the ride. Soarin is a multi-sensory attraction for big kids like teenagers and adults. It simulates a peaceful hang-gliding flight over the golden state of California. It is a multi passanger glider that is lifted 40 feet in the air. An IMAX projection dome wraps 180 degrees around you, so that you're engulfed by the impressive scenery. If i ever go back to Epcot Soarin would be the first ride i would go on. I went back to Epcot one more time before i went back home.

Titanic The Experience

Titanic the experience was very interesting because it showed you the history of the titanic from when it was built to the time it sunk in 1912.You can have a guided tour through the experience. The tour is done by two people. The first tour guide takes you through the building of titanic and the second tour guide takes you through the rest. There is built sets throughout the tour i.e. the grand stair case. One part of the tour lets you feel how cold an iceberg was and that just showed you how cold the water was at the time of the sinking.
At the end of the tour there is a wall with all the passengers who lived and who died on the titanic. You can see if you are a passenger that lived or died because at the start of the tour you get tickets that have the real names of passengers who were on board.

Discovery cove

Discovery cove was other place i went to while on my holiday. It was a brilliant place to go to because its not a theme park that has rides but a place where you can relax and swim dolphins.I got to swim with a dolphin it was a great experience which i will never forget. I went snorkeling around the water ways which was fun to do.I also got to see a lot of animals like string rays, birds and of course the dolphins too. Discovery cove is a place i would reccommend to anybody who is thinking of going on holiday to Florida because it really once in a life time experience.

Kennedy Space Centre

Kennedy Space Center was one of the places i went to when i was on holiday in Florida. It's a great place to visit. It is a very interesting place because it is where all the space rockets get launched from and there is a lot of things to look at. You get to see the launch pad where the rocket blast of from and you can stand under rocket model. There is a lot models of the high tech gadgets that NASA uses for their space missions. All i can say if your a big sci fi fan or if are just interested in learning about what NASA does then i think Kennedy Space Center is the place to visit because it has a lot of things to look at and there is also a bus tour which takes you around all the of  Kennedy Space Center. Now i am going to talk a little bit more about the space centre.
