My Trip to Florida

It wasn't actually my 1st visit
(technically I was too young to remember the other trips) but I'd heard if you
 got one of these then you got special treatment from the characters.
We did. I don't regret it. 

After being arranged well over a year ago, my trip to Florida finally happened last month. Though it wasn't exactly as we envisioned our family trip, we still had a blast. I have been before but this time I was more excited than any other. Ironically, I love Disney a whole lot more nowadays than I did in my younger years. We were in Florida for just under two weeks and finished the holiday with a few days in New York, though those days won't be mentioned in this post! We stayed in the Renaissance at Sea World, which in my opinion was a little too far away from the parks but is a gorgeous hotel. Florida is absolutely stunning and I desperately want to move there (the scenery is one reason for me wanting to do the Disney Cultural Exchange Program!)


I stepped out of my comfort zone (post on comfort zones coming soon...) big time whilst in America. I went to the Magic Kingdom, my favourite of the Disney parks, by myself for a day. This consisted of getting the bus from my hotel to Disney's Transportation Center and then a monorail from there to the park. I had to queue for things alone, order my food and eat alone and speak to adults. Woah. However, I had the most magical day. I did everything that I wanted and didn't have to worry about it boring my 'too cool for Disney' brother. I watched the parade, twice, and met a load of my favourite Disney characters! The staff were all lovely, calling me Princess and helping me if I ever got lost - which I did, a lot.
The Festival of Fantasy Parade is one
of the best things that's ever happened to me.
Florida is one of the best places to photograph out of everywhere that I have been. There is so much going on and the beaming sun makes all the photos bright. At Disney especially, I find it easy to capture the magical atmosphere into a photo. I'm no professional photographer, but I really wanted to document this trip so I took pictures of everything. And I mean everything. I've looked through my pictures once since I've been back and only regret it a little, I guess filling two memory cards is a little excessive. I met all my favourite Disney characters and just had the most wonderful time.

Me and my pal Snow lookin' all cute.
I'm sorry that this post may have been a little boring (I think I apologise for this in every one of my posts, maybe you should just come to expect it now...) All of these photos were taken from my Canon 1200D. I hope you enjoyed reading this and I definitely would advise a trip to Florida, especially Disney, at least once in your life.
