What else you need in this world when you get a "Millionaire" Treatments for Four Days and Five Nights in the worlds Famous Tourist Destination, With your Best Friend and Family Around and visiting the Worlds Best and Largest Theme & Fun park with no worries about the world. Everyone in this world will love to do this kind of stuff right. Yes we did it last Week end (Labor Day week end 2001 August 31st - September 3rd) 4 Days of Ultimate Fun and Luxury. Enjoy my travel Experience and do plan your Trip. We boarded DELTA flight from COLUMBUS, OH to ORLANDO, FL. A long Flight for 2 Hours and 15 Minutes, which crosses Five States to reach there namely OHIO, KENTUCHY, Tennessee, GEORGIA and FLORIDA. My friend Rajesh and Family flew from Oklahoma City, OK to ORLANDO. Our College Junior Gokul Ram in the Airport picked us and we drove back from the airport to the International Drive where we were supposed to stay.

OUR STAY:

All these days in my travel Document there was no space for where we stayed because we stay will our Lovable friends who are
always open with a big heart for us to visit. But this time it was different. We stayed in SHERATON VISTANA VILLAGES HOLIDAY RESORT IN ORLANDO, FL. I would say that this is the best place I have ever stayed in my life. What to say. Its one of the Ultimate Luxury you can experience in your life. We got a Great deal with them and it was a Two Bed Room Suite, which has a Spa inside your Bed Room. One specialty about these resorts in Florida is their Beautiful Swimming pool where you can enjoy being in Pool and having fun sleeping aside their pool and some one from the Bar aside brings you a Pine apple Drink ! We got a very good Deal which is really unbelievable! The Rooms are big 1300 Square feel. It has Two Bed rooms, A neat kitchen, Two Bath rooms. The master Bed Room has a Two People Spa ! My 12 Year Friend Rajesh and myself enjoyed like anything so was our Wife's. One good thing about this stay was Rajesh Parents who are from India has to enjoy the same with us. Its really fortunate and we did a great thing so that they will not forget this in their life. I will Post more pictures Later in my review.

We had Four Days and we decided to go for Three Theme parks. Going to ORLANDO, FL is Lots of fun and many times its very confusing. The biggest confusion is to decide which parks to go. There are nearly 10 Theme Parks in ORLANDO area itself and there are Couple of WATER Parks and there are lots and lots of Beach activity if you drive 50 miles away from Florida. We decided to go to DISNEY WORLD's "MAGIC KINGDOM", UNIVERSAL STUDIOS and DISNEY WORLD's "EPCOT" Center. My advice to anyone who goes to Florida for a Four Day trip is decide what you want to do well before going to Internet sites. There is 1000's to do over there.

MAGIC KINGDOM:

The first park we went was DISNEY WORLD's "MAGIC KINGDOM". Make sure that you buy Tickets well in advance to save few
Dollars. We decided that we are going to go for Two Disney parks so we got our Tickets well in Advance and thus saved 5$ for a ticket. "MAGIC KINGDOM" is the First park in Disney world and its a fun place to be. The specialty of MAGIC KINGDOM is its good for everyone. Right from Kids to Adults "MAGIC KINGDOM" has something for everyone. There are no scary rides in this park. Don't forget to go to "FUTURE LAND" which is the best part of the park. There is a ride called "FUTURE WORLD" which is lots and lots of fun. They take you near "STARS" and "MOONS" and it's really a good one. "JUNGLE ADVENTURE" is one of the best ride you can ride over there. Its unbelievable how they have made those Artificial JUNGLE which really looks real. We had fun the whole day over there. If you are there in MAGIC KINDGDOM make sure that you see the PARADE and the FIRE WORKS which 3 PM, 8 PM and 10 PM and its just Amazing. The DISNEY CHARACTER PARADE is just Amazing. One cannot see such a Colorful and a Beautiful display of Disney characters and if at all you go with your kids they will for sure Love it. Also don't forget to ride "SPLASH MOUNTAIN" ride which again is a beautiful one. The "HAUNTED HOUSE" in MAGIC KINGDOM is really scary and its a cool one too. All together we had a great time out there and then we returned to our resort. That night we had great time in Heated swimming pool and were enjoying Spa for More than an hour.

UNIVERSAL STUDIOS:

The second day of our trip was in "UNIVERSAL STUDIOS" ORLANDO. I Lived in Los Angeles and I have visited Universal Studios Couple of times in LA. Its one of the major attractions for Tourist who visit USA. We all know Universal Studios in HOLLYWOOD is like God for Movie makers. "UNIVERSAL STUDIOS" in ORLANDO is another theme park, which is a display of "Height of
Technology" and how Technology can entertain you. The best part of going to UNIVERSAL STUDIOS in ORLANDO is the way the theme park has been constructed. It has a neat Parking lot and you walk down an elevator and the theme park divides into two. The first one is "THE UNIVERSAL STUDIOS", ORLANDO, FLORIDA and "THE ISLANDS OF ADVENTURE", ORLANDO, FLORIDA. We decided to go to UNIVERSAL STUDIOS because we are movie lovers. Don't forget to take lots and lots of pictures before the gate as its one of the best place in the World. As soon as you enter the Gate you have the "TERMINATOR 2" Animation which is a 3D show. I bet that once you are done with this show you will for sure feel that the money you have paid to enter the park is worth it for just that show. It's just a display of Technology, Entertainment with World Class Effects that will make you to feel as if you are flying on earth. One must see My wife Priya and Rajesh Parents and Family after that ride. Its just simply super. There are 100's of Attractions in UNIVERSAL STUDIOS , I need to right a Book if i need to cover. One specialty of UNIVERSAL STUDIOS is you will for sure feel how much technology is developed. E.T ride is one good one. There are couple of major attractions in UNIVERSAL, ORLANDO. They are "THE MEN IN BLACK RIDE" and "BACK TO THE FUTURE" Ride. Back to the Future is just amazing and the One in LOS ANGELES is different from one in ORLANDO. The animation and the Graphics used in this ride show is just Amazing. Then you have the JAWS ride which is again an show where you ride in a Boat and a Shark comes and attack you and how you escape from the attack. Then you have "THE KING KONG" ride. Then you have an "EARTH QUAKE" Display where you can feel a 8.3 Earth quake and how it will affect you and you have "THE TWISTER" Ride where you can see a TWISTER before you. They all are based on the Hit movies and the specialty is its not necessary that you will love it only when you have watched the movie. Anyone will love it and its a great pleasure to be there. One simple word is "JUST AMAZING".

DISNEY WORLD's " EPCOT" :


After roaming for 15 Hours a day on a 90 Degree day continuously with No Regular food and Less water You tend to be more tired right. But its not the case if you are in Florida and visiting Disney World. Yes the Third day was in EPCOT center. Its kind of Relaxing because EPCOT does not have rides like other parks. The Park is divided into two. One is the "INTERNATIONAL
EXIBITS" and the other one is related to Science and Technology. The Science and Technology park has four rides. The GM test drive is really the best one. You get into a car and you will experience various kinds of Test Drives. "HONEY I SHRUNK THE AUDIENCE" is kind of a cool one too where you really have a very good 3D Effect. If you go to international Exhibits its kind of cool too but you really need to have interest to travel. They have various places and their culture and shops that are related to that country which is really amazing. Especially CHINA was too good. They have Exhibits of CHINA, MEXICO, FRANCE,ITALY, MOROCCO, USA, UK, JAPAN, CANADA. Many have 360 Degree theater where they play pictures about that nation. If you are interested in tasting International foods that is the place to be. But keep in mind that its not the place for rides. They have a good Display of Disney characters and you can take pictures with them which is really nice. The best part is the "Cultural" parade and the Fire works in the night which is really really good. EPCOT is a place that can be watched after two tedious days. Its a good one.

LOLLU COMMENTS:

A Vacation to Disney World is a Dream for everyone. The worlds Most big and best Fun Parks are in ORLANDO. Its a pretty expensive trip. It costs more. Yes everything is true. A trip to Disney Parks and Universal is Always going to cost money. But I bet its Worth it. The Extry Ticket to these parks are 50 $ a Person. You go to four parks it costs you 200$ just for the entry alone. Let me work out the cost for us. For myself and my wife. We got a great deal in air ticket which was around 130$ a head. So 260$ for two. Plus 300 $ Entry ticket for both of us, Plus Our Rental Cal + Plus Our Accommodation + Our Food Expense. But good thing about it was we saved a lot by going with our friend. The overall cost of the trip was around $850 which is a big money. But Take it from me you will have a "Golden Time" of your life. You can claim that you have visited the "BEST FUN PARK" in the world, You can take Pictures with DISNEY CHARACTERS, YOU CAN DANCE WITH THEM. One more thing that is worth to see is the "CITY WALK" in UNIVERSAL STUDIOS and DOWNTOWN DISNEY where you have 100's of shopping and dining place. Then don't forget to go to INTERNATIONAL DRIVE. Its really superb. Lots and lots of International restaurants and its a 100/100 Place and My favorite place for Family Vacation. Enjoy and have fun.
