There may be more to Orlando than amusement parks, but why would you go there for anything else? Between the multiple parks that encompass Disney World to the growing Universal and Islands of Adventure, the thing to do in Orlando is to head to the rides. I admittedly am a roller coaster nut, but I can’t help but love Disney’s Magic Kingdom. There’s just nothing else that instantly transports you back to your childhood like spinning tea cups, Cinderella’s castle and campy rides like It’s a Small World. Add in a turkey leg and perhaps some ice cream and you’ve got yourself a full day of fun.
In true IShouldLogOff style, we had to take a jumping picture in front of Cinderella’s castle. Needless to say it was harder than it should have been because of the crowds, the angle and yea I’m going to say it, a rather short photographer! After several rounds and a few angles from the castle grounds we got it. If you’re in Orlando and you want to recreate this picture, head to the side of the castle- either side will do- where it is less crowded.
IF YOU GO: Amusement park tickets can be bought at the park gate, but check online in advance for deals and packages. If you’re a Florida resident, all the parks offer special “local” deals, which rotate throughout the year. Orlando family holidays are very popular so plan your trip accordingly, especially around holidays and weekends. One park remains open late each night, so check the Disney World schedule as you plan your trip!

I loved the Disney parks. And I like imagining what the passers-by are thinking during jumping pics like this 🙂
