Hey there Deo.I don't think you have been on here in quite a while.

Concratulations on finally accomplishing your goal of earning your masters.

Now what?

I have only been to Disneyland here in California and that has been many years ago.At least 6 or 7 years before the wheelchair.

Sorry,could not give you any help there.

Have a great time though.

Hi Deo, I was there about 25 years ago and it was super. My favorite was Epcot, the Kraft pavilion on hydroponics. Took the special tour. MGM is also good if you can swing it.

I went to Disneyland in Fl. about 10 years ago and I liked Epcot the most too. I'm a quad but got on several of their rides but new parks have opened in Disneyworld and it is a monster place now.

When I was a kid in the Bahamas there were rumors about Disney buying up property around Orlando and orange farmers were becoming multi-millionairs over night plus in the early 1960s that was a lot of money. Hell today that is a lot. Anyway this park is still opening parks inside intself that were planned Walt Disney back in the 60s.

Only to be one of those orange grove owners.I wonder how long it took most of them to sign the over their land.

Those families were sure set up for a good time in their life though.If not still are.

Hey all,
The wife and I had a really nice vacation in Orlando and Tampa after a really rough semester. New semester starts today, but I think I am better prepared for it. It was my first visit to the USA and all that I can say is that I was impressed. The scale almost drove this island boy crazy.

Hey JB, I suspect that I would be making trips like this more often, once the health remain stable. We'll catch up next time.

The Wonderful World of Disney. Looks like you had your wife had blast. I don't know how much of Disney World you toured but I know that there is a lot of it to see.

Hi 4wheeler, Did four theme parks in four days but still did not see all. I dared myself to do Expedition Everest and did it. Most impressed with Soaring at Epcot.

I have never been to Disney World. I have been to Disneyland many times just not post injury.

I almost want to go now.
