Orlando: Day 4 to Day 6 (Disney World: Pop Century Resort, Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Chef Mickey's)

Today we slept late as there isn't anything plan and we just need to move from Universal to Disney World.  We took Uber from Hard Rock Hotel to Disney Pop Century Resort, it costs about $18.

Some shots of the resort compound as we walked towards our block.



Inside our room, though not as luxurious as Hard Rock Hotel but it was sufficient and comfortable.




Like the idea that they always have a sink and mirror outside the toilet. 

Bathroom, looks very dated and no Disney theme. 

Carpet with images of Mickey. 

Rotisserie Chicken at Pop Century Resort Food Court. 

Disney Refillable Mug.  Note that refillable stations are not available inside parks at point of writing.

With everything within the resort there is no need to take a bus out today.  We had our dinner inside the resort's food court, walk around the resort and call it a day.

Next day to the Magic Kingdom.  The rides here are quite similar to Disneyland around the world but there are quite a number of interactive attractions where there are activities or live shows or story telling, great if you have young kids but realise not so much for us.

Disney World is really huge that it require its own bus interchange, look at the different gates and destination.  So taking the wrong bus could mean you taking a long time to get back.


Inside Magic Kingdom 

Monorail Station, if you stay at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa or Disney's Polynesian Village Resort 


Cinderella Castle 

Lunch: Fish Platter($10.29) and Grilled Fish Platter($13.29) 

The parade in the afternoon 

Dinner: Rotisserie  Chicken($14.49), somehow I quite like the rotisserie chicken in Disney World, think I ate at least 3 times in the span of 3 days.

The Disney's Electrical Parade at night

We ended the day with some shopping at the Disney World Main Emporium Shop.

Animal Kingdom was the next theme park we picked as Epcot didn't look interesting and some of the attractions in Hollywood Studios can be found in other Disney theme parks.

Entrance to Animal Kingdom, look alot like entrance to a zoo. 

Sand sculpture of the jungle book characters.

 Tree of Life Garden

The Tree of Life, at first we thought it is a real tree only upon a closer and longer inspection that we realise it is not, its really life like. 

One of the attractions where you can take a picture with Mickey and Minnie 

The Africa zone 

Lion King Show, highly recommended, makes me want to catch the Lion King Musical.

The park close at 4.30pm, however the park wasn't too big and have caught all the attractions we wanted to see with time to spare.  We head to the Disney's Contemporary Resort for our Chef Mickey's dinner.  Chef Mickey's is a buffet restaurant where the Disney characters come to your table to take photo with you.  During my stay there is Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald and Daisy and they came out twice.

As it was still early we walked around the resort.  

Some pastries with Disney's character

Inside the dinning area where you see goofy and Minnie walking around for pictures.


And that concludes the 3 days at Disney World, we will be checking out tomorrow for our flight to Buffalo Niagara.
