Orlando Tales vs Gator Tails


Since last time, we have done a few more parks, a lot more rides, some firework shows and a trip to Gatorland.



Starting off the week in Magic Kingdom, we also hit up the Florida Mall and the Orlando Premium Outlets where me and Ben bought some Yankee Candles on sale. I also ate this huge pizza slice.


We also watched the Fantasmic night show at Hollywood studios and the Star Wars fireworks that followed.


Another night we went to Epcot via the Disney Boardwalk resort. We fastpassed ontoTest Track where we each designed our own car and tested it out on the ride. This is my masterpiece, in a gorgeous copper colour of course.




I came in 2nd after Ben who is studying engineering so he should have won! Before watching the fireworks on this night, I grabbed an iced coffee which I had been craving for days!





Another day, we ate at this really cool tavern in Celebration and watched the Leicester City game and the Olympic rhythmic gymnastics while we ate.


After a hectic few days and nights we had a complete change of scene and went to Gatorland.



This crazy gator wrestler (?) held its mouth open with his chin. Odd.
However there was plenty of other alligators and other animals to see including goats, wild birds, parrots, giant tortoises, Jaguars, Bobcats and emus.








I also found this weather rock kind of funny.


But my favourite part was going into the real life swamp and walking on the decking just a few centimetres above all the plants and wildlife.



Gatorland felt like the hottest day here because the humidity in the swamp and there was nothing indoors so no air con! But probably one of the only places I would see all of this cool stuff.






A very cool few days.

Speak soon as always!
