We were not ready to stop.  Day 4 and Day 6, we headed to Hollywood Studios.  Yes, we did rest on Day 5.

We got to meet characters like Buzz Lightyear,  Woody and Mr Pototohead from Toy Story,  Mike Wazowski from Monster Inc and Mr. Incredible from The Incredible and many others.  Good times!   We even got to watch a  small film about the story of Walt Disney, how everything started.  It is just amazing how his dream comes to reality for the world to enjoy.

Oh, my father in law and I were recruited to be in the show during the Studio Backlot Tour.  HAHA! (Below Picture # 5)  Notice the rain gear?!  yes we got freaking wet.  It was awesome.  Good Time!!!

Fastpass RULE!!!   Disney World Magic Guide iPhone/iPad Apps RULE too.

Here’s some images from Hollywood Studios.

Yes it was HOT that day.

Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Cinderella, and many other more we got to meet.   It was so great watching Dylan interacting with them.  It was priceless.

Me, that’s who.

So two weeks ago, we (The Lo Family) took a 7 days 6 nights trip to Disney World in Orlando Florida.   We also invited my in laws to join us since they live 9 hours away.  Since they don’t get to see their grandson much. We thought this would be an excellent idea.

We didn’t stay at the Disney Resort, but we did stayed at a very comfortable resort just 25 miles west from Disney which we have banked into RCI. (yes we owned a studio at a resort that we purchased years ago when we were vacationing at Mexico).

We purchased 5 days pass to the theme park.  First day (Sunday) was at  Animal Kingdom.  Amanda made a breakfast reservation at the Tusker House Restaurant months in advance so that we can meet the Disney characters without having to deal with the heat or waiting on lines.  It was so worth it.   You get to eat some awesome food (all you can eat baby) and some cold air condition.  The characters would come around to say hi, sign your autograph book and pose for pics.   Did I mention the food were pretty good?!!   Animal Kingdom is like the Bronx Zoo but 100 times better.  Took a ride into the safari seeing elephants were pretty amazing.

The Tree of Life!!!

If you were following me on Twitter and Facebook last summer, you would remember that I drove my family to Georgia so she and Dylan can spend the month of July with her family while the hubby (me) was back in New York working, paying the bills.  You would think I would have all the time in the world to hang out with my friends.  Well not really….  cuz my car was in Georgia.   Delta was nice enough to take me home, of course I had to drop a few bills for it..

I headed back to GA first week of August, but I didnt want my vacation to be just driving up and down. Instead of driving on I-85 and I-95 back home.  We decided to take a different route and do some sightseeing.

Driving up and down Shenandoah National Park was totally an amazing experience.  We even got to see a black bear off the road.   Too bad I only had the 16-35L with me, so i wasn’t able to snap a shot .   We did get to visit some amazing places while in Shenandoah.  Places like Shenandoah Caverns;  American Celebration on Parade; The Yellow Barn and the Virginia Safari Park which is located in Natural Bridge, Virginia.    The Safari park was a HUGE hit, especially for Dylan.  He really enjoyed it.

Enough reading, time to see some images from the trip….  please be patient if the images is still loading on your system.  There are 40 images total.

Just to be clear, the t-shirt my son is wearing is NOT  (i repeat), is NOT a Boston Red Sox T-shirt…  it’s a concert T-shirt of Phish, who recently perform in Fenway Park.   Thanks Jill & Ryan for the T-shirt.    

Please check out the photo slideshow I’ve put together….  and you get to see Dylan’s 1st time on a Merry Go Round.  hehehe.   Thanks!!  :)
