Where all the crazy things happen, where the reception will tell you:" Anything can happen in VEGAS" with a wink*...Oh am I glad we are finally here!

Discovery Cove & Richard Petty Driving Experience

Discovery Cove & Richard Petty Driving Experience

  

Still from our Orlando Trip...Discovery Cove. Discovery Cove despite the expensive tickets, I think it is well worth it. Discovery Cove is a day resort where you get to enjoy lazing around the beach, playing with dolphin, playing with birds and snorkel around seeing many species of marine life. I saw more types of marine life here snorkeling than I saw in my diving trip hehe...

  

The check in lobby of Discovery Cove. They limit to 1000 Guest per day for the resort, that's explain the high price of the tickets.

It's a very cold morning when we arrived there...

Our breakfast....

Not a big fan of birds.....

Some very exotic bird that you get to feed them inside the bird feeding area...

The water behind me is warm...you can laze around on the float...and float around in the comfortable water...

Our Lunch....

Lazing around...enjoying my afternoon beer.

It's dolphin time....we get to interact with the Dolphin for 30 minutes. The trainer will explain to us how they train the dolphin and let us know more about dolphin. We get to feed the dolphin, touch the dolphin..(they feel rubbery), kiss the dolphin and swim with the dolphin. Superb experience.

It looks like a normal beach...but underneath this is all the species you can find in the water.

At night, we went to Downtown Disney for Dinner.

This restaurant looks good as the queue is super long. We skipped this due to the long queue. It looks like a Jurassic Park theme restaurant.

Posing inside Harley Davidson Shop. Price in US and Singapore is about the same.

Mickey Mouse shape candy apple.

The man rolling cigar...

A very bustling Disney Downtown...

Chained Hot Air Balloon...you can go up and see the bird eye view of Disney Downtown but it is chained so you can just go up and down...not around lolz...

Inside lego store....the legos look like jelly beans....

Lego Kombi..!! My fave car...

Lego Dragon...

Disney Store...

Cinderella Castle without bling...

Cinderella Castle with bling...

Brothers reunited...

Dinner at Wolfgang Pluck Cafe....the steak was good!! The price was even better only one fifth of the Wolfgang Cut price....hehe

Next Day is Nick Richard Petty Driving Experience that I had planned for him.....you can get the tickets from Orlandovistor Counter at some discounts compare to purchasing the tickets from Richard Petty website.

 Beautiful Sky to start off the day....

The entrance of the Carpark....

 Posing around ....I can't race as I can't drive stick....after many years of auto driving experience lolz..

 Nick climbing into the car thru window, the car got no doors...

  The very excited and happy man after his ride.

 

Orlando - Universal Studio

Orlando - Universal Studio

Day 5 of our Orlando Trip, we went to Universal Studio. Universal Studio is So Superb!!! I LOVE Orlando Universal Studio!!!!!! Completed the Universal Studio and Island of Adventure in 1 day with express pass. Island of Adventure is where the exciting ride is located.

US Trip- Orlando (DisneyLand)

Orlando

There is a saying " Orlando is where Adults become kids again" which is super true...

Rise and shine for our first breakfast at Orlando...Danny's!! I really love Danny's pancakes!! Their blueberries pancakes is so fluffy ..1000 times better than MacDonald ones!! Somebody, please bring Danny's to Singapore!

After Breakfast....Disneyland..Magical Kingdom!! Florida Disneyland is the first Disneyland in the world...oldest and most original one!! The Magical Kingdom is crowded with tourist from all around the world so please arrived early!! It was already quite crowded when we reached there at 9am. Remember to use the fast pass which is free, you can check out Disney website for more details. The fast pass will saved you a lot of queuing time.

My favorite ride in Magical Kingdom is the haunted mansion where you see many ghost floating around, dancing in the mansion.

Outside of the Haunted Mansion...

Princess Belle castle is newly opened, I queue about one hour to go in..Conclusion : Waste of Time. Young kids might find it interesting as they got to meet Princess Belle and take photo with her.
Inside Princess Belle Castle...

The Little Mermaid Ride which is also newly open...not bad.

Disney Carnival not to be missed...where all the Disney Character come out and say Hi..

News Breaking!! ...Ms and Mrs Love to travel going to be Mrs and Mrs Love to travel soon...

Nick propose to me during Magical Kingdom Fireworks ...I was almost falling asleep when watching the fireworks due to Jetlag...suddenly I see him giving me a red box...my heart skip a beat..is he going to pop the question? Yes, he did ...he was no nervous that he was lost for words. Normally, he got many things to say lolz. He had start planning the proposal few months back with my friends...under my nose... kudos to all of them for keeping the secret so well.

He propose with a Cartier love bangle which is my dream bangle for many many donkey years .The bangle is lock to my wrist forever unless he unlock it or my hand got chop off my robber...lolz...

Stay tuned about wedding post..will be blogging about our wedding preparation ....

Still high from last night proposal...this morning I woke up to another surprise...Nick : "We are going photoshoot today" Me : Huh.. are you kidding...I never bring my eyelash...shoes..nice dress......I love this man....so much effort put into this US proposal trip !

Here is some of the photo we took from Disney Photography. The photo was taken in one of the Disney resort. Frankly speaking, we are a bit disappointed with the photos. We thought they will edit in some Disney character because we had to wait for 4 weeks before our photo is ready. Compared, we think our Bali photo looks much nicer and they only took 1 day to edit our photos, including a photo montage DVD.

After the photo shoot we went to Disney Hollywood Studio....the highlight of the theme park is tower of terror which I beg Nick to let me skip it although they had mild the ride. Previously, they had a lot of complaint that the ride is too scary. In exchange, I had to go do a roller coaster ride with him at Universal Studio with him.

The Cosy Art Room where Disney Artist draw the character, the studio is so cosy and homely. I also want to be an artist!

Hand painted Drawing....

They had a drawing class where they teached you how to draw a Disney Character. Today, we are drawing the dog inside Toy Story.

The Disney Biggest Star....Mickey Mouse

Disney Stunt Show....one of the highlight of the theme park

Disney Studio another highlight of the park, we get to sit on the tram and see the props studio and how the effect is make for movies.

Tsunami Coming....

At Disney Hollywood Studio, there is also a Jack Sparrow Studio which is newly open. We get to go in and see a 3D Jack Sparrow acting which I think is quite boring since we queue for about an hour to get in.

Overall...I felt Disney Magical Kingdom is a MUST GO!! Disney Hollywood Studio...if you have extra time.
