LOLLIPOP!

Couldn't resist getting Charlee one of these crazy lollipops while at Disney World.  Good thing she dropped it soon after, and it shattered into pieces...end of lollipop!!!  Phewww!!!  It's okay - she still had it long enough to get her share of sugar rush...

WALT DISNEY WORLD: Orlando, FL

I finally had some time to edit and post pictures from our Christmas vacation.  We had a wonderful time visiting all the Disney Parks in Orlando. 

Trivial information:  Magic Kingdom does close after it reaches a maximum capacity of 60,000 people. 
On New Years Eve, it was closed by 11:30AM , and did not reopen until 8:30PM that night.  Throughout the day, for every 1,000 people that leave the park, a 1,000 were allowed to enter.  How insane is that?! 
Here are photos from our visit to the 4 parks.

Charlee had her first ice cream bar - oh it was messy!!!!










EPCOT:














ANIMAL KINGDOM:























Okay, so for those who are familiar with lenses:  this was taken with a 50mm lens - uncropped!  Yep!  Way to close for comfort!  Not only that, they were protecting their young, and of course felt threatened by a hoard of people in a cargo size  jeep - with blazing loud speakers -therefore, came charging at the jeep fearlessly!  I was not pleased with the driver for taking her time moving on.  Still goosebumps thinking about it.  I took the pictures, sure, but was terrified...certainly do not want to experience that adrenaline again - EVER!






DISNEY STUDIOS:
























THE END....OR SHOULD I SAY "HAPPILY EVER AFTER"...
