It's a world of laughter, a world of cheer..
Yes, It is I, Stacey, the "world" traveler.... Disneyworld, that is ! Just got back from a weekend trip to Orlando with my friend, Lynn. We left the Hubbies at home and headed south for warmer weather and fun at the parks.


We stayed at Disney's Pop Century... one of the lower-end resorts, but I think it is the most fun! The buildings are designed like the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's.....with toys, movies, and items that are representative of all the decades decorating each section. Lynn and I have stayed in the 50's, 70's and 80's during the last three years of visiting Disneyworld.







This is what you find in the area around the 70's buildings.... a 4-story Bigwheel!





The giant yo-yo is actually a stairwell that is hidden inside it. They are on all of the 60's buildings...

There is a giant Mickey telephone reminiscent of the 70's, and a field of foosball players between the buildings in the 70's as well. Jungle Book characters, Baloo and Mowgli are there, and words popular in the seventies are all along the tops of the buildings.

In the 50's section, the stairwells are giant bowling pins and there is a 4-story jukebox standing in front of a bowling pin pool! The bowling lanes iare right next to the pool, and people line their lounge chairs along side of the lanes.




Night photography is what I am really trying to master at this time, and there is a ton of things to practice on... fireworks being the most difficult for me.
I also took this pic of spaceship earth at Epcot. the dark line you see is the monorail track, and the reflection of the globe is shown in the lake. A little blurry, but I didn't have a tripod, so this is the best I could do.







Well, it is late. I will try to get some more together here in the next week or so. Until then, as Tigger says: "TTFN!" (tah tah for now).
