Vi er kommet "tilbage" fra Florida, men I skal da lige have lidt billeder. Jeg havde i meget lang tid glædet mig til vi skulle i Magic Kingdom og i Universal Studios, og det var nogle dejlige dage.
Vi tog i Magic Kingdom da de åbnede om morgenen, fordi de kun skulle have åbent til kl. 18. Der er jo mange parker i Disney World, men vi tog kun i den. Jeg synes der er rigeligt at se, nemlig.... Desuden ligger parkerne et godt stykke fra hinanden.
For at komme derhen, sejlede vi med færgen og havde udsigt til "slottet".
We arrived "back" from Florida, but I want to show some photos. I had been looking forward to going to Magic Kingdom and Universal Studios for a long time, and we had some great Days.
We Went to Magic Kingdom right when they opened up in the morning, since the park was closing at 6 p.m. that day. They are lots of parks in Disney World, but we only visited that one. I think there is plenty to see, you know..... Furthermore, the parks are not that close.
To get there, we sailed on the ferryboat and had a nice view of the "castle".
Vi var rundt og kigge på det hele, og prøvede en masse ting. De andre gad godt med i butikker, så vi var også inde og kigge på ting (og Disney t-shirts!). Alle ture ender jo i en butik, så det var svært at undgå.....
Det var temmelig varmt, så kolde drikke var dejlige. Vi fik f.eks. en "float" - sodavand med softice. Det smager så godt!
We walked around, looking at everything and going on a lot of rides. The other ones were willing to look in all the shops, which was nice. Every ride ends up in a shop, you know, so it was hard not to.....
It was kind of hot, so we enjoyed cold drinks. For instance, we had a "float" - soda with ice cream. It tastes so good!
Eftersom min svoger havde en Fedtmule hat og min nevø havde Anders And, skulle vi selvfølgelig specifikt ind og tage billeder med de to. Det var sjovt! Fedtmule "stjal" Anders And hatten, og jeg elsker udtrykket på de tres ansigter. De var slet ikke forberedt!
Anders And tog sig også den frihed at give min niece et ordentligt smækkys, hvilket hun var helt færdig af grin over.
Jo - alle havde en rigtig dejlig dag!
Since my brother-in-law had a Goofy hat and my nephew a Donald Duck hat, we wanted to visit those 2 guys specifically. It was fun! Goofy "stole" the Donald Duck hat, and I just love the expression on these 3 faces. They were not prepared in any way!
Donald Duck took his chance and gave my niece a giant kiss, which made her laugh so hard.
So - everyone had a lovely day!
Næste dag tog vi så i Universal Studios, hvor dealen var 2 parker samme dag. Det var om muligt endnu varmere! Men det var også en herlig dag hvor alle fik prøvet det, de havde lyst til, og alle fik tid til at sidde lidt i skyggen når der var behov for det.
Vi tog Hogwarts Expressen frem og tilbage.
The next day, we went to Universal Studios. The deal was 2 parks in 1 day. It was even hotter that day! But we had another wonderful day with everyone going on the rides they wanted, and everyone having time to sit a bit in the shadow when that was needed.
We took the Hogwarts Express between the parks.
De to store prøvede den ret vilde Jurassic Park bane, som slutter med et 30 meters fald. Jeg prøvede den allerførste gang jeg var i Universal Studios for en hel del år siden, og jeg skal ikke nyde noget igen.....
Til gengæld blev jeg lokket med ind i "Skull Island" som faktisk var sjov! Der er en masse ture som er en blanding af rutchebane og 3D film. Ret imponerende.
The 2 big ones tried out the pretty crazy Jurassic Park ride, which ends in a 85 foot fall. I went on it my first time in Universal Studios many years ago, and I really don't feel like doing it again.....
But they did make me go on "Skull Island", which was so much fun! They have all these rides that are a combination of rides and 3D movies. Really impressive.
Vi brugte en del tid i Harry Potter delen, og det lykkedes at finde Diagon Alley, som ligger helt inde bagved nogle huse, og som vi overhovedet ikke fandt sidste gang.
Min nevø købte en tryllestav som faktisk virkede inde i parken i udvalgte butikker. Men det var ikke let at få det rigtige sving på staven!
We spent quite a lot of time in the Harry Potter part, and we succeeded in finding Diagon Alley, which is placed behind some houses, and which we didn't find last time we were there.
My nephew bought a wand, which actually worked in the park in some shops. But it wasn't easy getting the movements right!
Selvom det var varmt, sov niecen med strikkede strømper. Hver nat. Hvilket hun altid gør! Af hele flokken er hun nok den, der elsker de strikkede strømper mest.
Although it was hot, my niece slept with her knitted socks. Every night. Which she always does! In the entire group, she is the one who loves the knit socks the most.
Nå ja - vi var også lige i "Whole Foods" for at købe aftensmad den ene aften. De havde noget lidt anderledes frugt end andre steder. F.eks. en Jack Fruit, som jeg ellers kun har smagt i Afrika. En ret stor, ucharmerende frugt, men den smager godt! (Denne her smagte vi dog ikke)
Oh - and we also went to "Whole Foods" to get dinner one night. The fruit section was kind of different from other supermarkets. They had Jack Fruit, which I only had in Africa. A rather big, not very charming fruit, but it tastes good! (We didn't taste this one, though.)
I dag fylder det her lille pus 13 år! Jeg kan ikke forstå hvor tiden er blevet af, faktisk. Men borte er den, for han ER ikke så lille og nuttet mere, men derimod helt klar til at blive teenager.
Det er herligt at skulle fejre ham, og jeg er glad for jeg kom herover til USA så jeg kan, for det var noget nemmere at komme til fødselsdag på Amager.....
Today, this little guy turns 13 years! I just don't understand how time disappeared this way, actually. Fact is, it's gone, and he is NOT so small and cute anymore, but really ready to become a teenager.
I love being able to celebrate him, and I'm very happy to be here in the US, making it happen, since it used to be a lot easier to go for his birthday when he lived in Amager.....
Som sædvanlig var der slik med. Vi har ikke haft tid til at spise meget endnu, men i det mindste er det ikke MIG, som skal slæbe det videre.
As usual, I bought a lot of candy. We didn't have time to eat a lot, but at least it won't be me, having to carry it all the way to Ann Arbor.
I forgårs var vi i Magic Kingdom. Vi skulle alle have hatte eller ører (fordi det SKAL man!), og så nød vi ellers dagen.
I går var vi Universal Studios, hvor vi ikke have sådan noget på hovedet.
I skal selvfølgelig nok høre om begge dele.
The day Before yesterday, we Went to Magic Kingdom. Everybody have to wear ears or hats (because you MUST!), and we enjoyed the day.
Yesterday, we Went to Universal Studios, where we ddin't have stuff like that on.
Of course you'll get to hear about both.
I går var vi i Magic Kingdom. Uh, som jeg elsker det! Vi havde alle fået ører på, for det skal man jo have.
Men man kan faktisk lave nogle ører selv, hvis man vil. Man skal have en almindelig hårbøjle som kan pimpes lidt.
Så dagens opskrift er Minnie Mouse ører. Opskriften er lige her.
Yesterday, we Went to Magic Kingom. Oh, how I love it! We all wore ears, because that is something you need.
But you can actually make those ears yourself, if you want to. You just need an ordinary headpiece which can be pimped a bit.
So today's pattern is Minnie Mouse ears. The pattern is right here.
