4 Parks … 3 Days! – What were we thinking…

It might have taken me a full week to recover from my 4 parks in 3 days adventure I had! We walked more than 30 miles according to our Fitbits, a new record for me. After checking into the hotel I went to the airport to pick up my partner in crime Melissa. We decided to stay at a non-Disney resort because she is a Marriot rewards member and earned a bunch of points. With that said both of us agree you should stay at a Disney resort and also do the meal plan. If I ever go back I know that is what I will be doing.

Our schedule was as follows:

Friday, Day 1: Hollywood Studios

Saturday, Day 2: Animal Kingdom then Epcot

Sunday, Day 3: Magic Kingdom

And then there is what really happened… We did hit Hollywood Studios first then somehow ended up going to Magic Kingdom, riding some rides catching the fireworks show all before we crashed into our hotel beds after walking more than 10 miles. Disney is no cake walk that’s for sure … I like to think that we got our moneys worth from our 3 day – park hopper – fast pass tickets.

We then drug out butts out of bed and headed over to Animal Kingdom. Personally this park and Magic Kingdom were my favorites. I think they did a really good job building the different parts of the world and the way they have it all surrounding the Tree of Life is really cool!

Somethings that you might not know and you should … Fast passes are AMAZING. If scheduled for your first 3 hours of the day. Once you use your 3 Fast passes for the day you can go to a kiosk and register for another and then another and then another. Do you see the trend here? We ended up getting ride a few rides more than once and also didn’t wait the 120 minutes to meet Cinderella. We also got to Magic Kingdom before the park opened on Sunday morning and it turns out they do an opening show complete with fireworks. After that we made a mad dash to Space Mountain, which we rode 3 times before we had to use our first fast pass of the day without a wait.

As always, Peace, Love and Tweeting!

Key West Songwriters Festival – Wednesday May 5th, 2015

key-west-songwriters-festival-2015

Last night was the Kick Off party for my favorite events in Key West. This year will be my 2nd year attending and I know more of what is going on… Or I just like to think that! I was really excited to see Jack Ingram perform again and then also discovered Brooke Eden and Wendell Mobley over at the Pier House Resort.

I have heard Brooke on The Highway and was delighted to see her perform in person, but the person who stole the show for me was Wendell Mobley. If I were to write down a list of my favorite songs he would be the writer of at least 5. Last night he performed “How Country Feels”, “Fast Cars and Freedom”, “Tattoos on this Town”, “Take me There” and “I Melt”. By the end of this week I would like to meet him, shake his hand and thank him for writing the songs that have helped shape me and my life.
