Michael's Birthday

The Birthday Boy

This weekend we went to Orlando with Matt's brother Michael. Michael took advantage of the free ticket to Disney for his birthday. He paid for the park hopper option so we were able to go to all 4 parks in one day. It was an amazing day.

First we went to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure on Saturday. We rode The Hulk, Spiderman, Dr. Fear's Freefall, got soaked on the Bilge Rat Barges, Jurassic Park, Ice from the Dueling Dragons, had a tasty lunch, saw Shrek 4D, rode the Mummy, Men in Black, The Simpsons, ET, and then the Mummy again. We had a delicious dinner at the Earl of Sandwich in Downtown Disney and finished out the day with Putt Putt Golf at Disney's Winter Summerland putt putt course.

Then on Sunday we went to Disney World. It was a full 13 hour day. We started at Hollywood Studios and rode Toy Story Mania, The Rockin' Roller Coaster, The Tower of Terror and saw the Muppets in 3D. Then we went to Animal Kingdom and rode Expedition Everest, Dinosaur, It's Tough to be a bug in 3D and had a delicious lunch. Then we went to the Magic Kingdom and rode the train, Pirates of the Caribbean and saw another 3D show, Mickey's Philharmagic Orchestra. The Magic Kingdom was really crowded so we left there, planning to come back later. We headed over to EPCOT and rode Mission Space, Test Track, walked through the countries, ate dinner in the UK and on the way out rode Spaceship Earth. We went back to the Magic Kingdom and rode Splash Mountain, the Haunted Mansion and saw the Monster's Inc. Laugh Floor show. It was an amazing day. Happy Birthday Michael. We're so happy we were able to share it with you!
