Our first park? Hollywood Studios. (I remember going to Universal Studios when I was younger, and I guess this is Disney's version.)
Here we are just after riding the "Tower of Terror" which repeatedly drops the elevator you are riding in. I liked it.

I don't know who this character is but he cracked me up
John's brother, Patrick, his wife, Jeannette, and Kathryn
We ate at a French restaurant at Epcot and they brought out the "chef" to greet us
A jalapeno margarita? Yum!
At Disney's Animal Kingdom
We walked into one of the nice hotels, and who is there singing a Christmas song and filming a video? Celine Dion!
I have to say that I felt like the rides at Magic Kingdom were a little outdated. I mean, we're talking the same exact rides as in 1987! However, I'm sure for little kids they don't feel outdated at all. And let's face it, Disneyworld isn't for the adults, right? (Although some of the adults you see there could really convince you otherwise!)
Some of the other parks had some great new rides, including a pitch-black indoor roller coaster set to Aerosmith music. I think that was our favorite ride. The roller coaster accelerates from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 2.8 seconds (making this the second-fastest ride at the Walt Disney World Resort, behind only Test Track) and the riders experience 4.5g (44 m/s²) as they enter the first inversion, more than an astronaut does on a space shuttle launch.
Funny story about the Test Track ride: As we climbed into our cars to race around a track built onto the outside of a building at 65 miles per hour, we noticed a woman who had just gotten off the ride, and her head was bleeding a little. As soon as our ride was over they closed down the attraction due to "technical difficulties". Scary!
