Disneyworld, Part 6

On the 6th day of our Disneyworld vacation, we went to Blizzard Beach! This was the best day of the trip for me! I had the greatest day with my family, particularly with my son Zion.

Blizzard Beach is a beautifully awesome water park with some of the most fascinating water slides on earth including one of the world’s tallest and steepest, a super long one that you can ride down with up to eight people on an inner tube, a toboggan style racing slide, a huge wave pool, and an incredibly long lazy river. The whole park has a ski resort feel complete with fake snow, glaciers, and even a ski lift that takes you up to three of the slides. They play great relaxing beach music to make the wonderful irony complete.

My son went on some impressive slides for being a 4 year-old and DID NOT want to leave. I think all of us would have been happy to go to Blizzard Beach every day of our trip. That’s how great and relaxing it was!

One highlight of the day was getting some new black Oakley Monster Dog Polarized sunglasses. Because of the current economy, Disney was giving away $200 gift cards for every room booked. So we got $400 worth and I bought my new sunglasses with them.

That evening we wednt back to EPCOT Center for dinner. We went to Maracesh- a Morrocan restaurant in- of course- the Morrocan area of the park. What a great time! The students loved this place! There was great live Morrocan band playing traditional music along with a very classy- very beautiful belly dancer: much more interesting than the fat old hippies who belly dance in the US!

At one point the belly dancer invited people from the audience to come join her in dancing and a teenage boy from another table came up and did a breakdance to the Morrocan music with the belly dancer- it was freak’n hillarious and awesome!!

To eat I had the Morrocan Feast. It had Leg of Lamb, a half baked chicken, kuskus, a strange soup for an appetizer, and an assortment of nut-like pastries for dessert? Everything was good! THis place had the best service and the most relaxing atmosphere of all the places we had been.

This truly was a great day!
