Orlando Photo Diary Part 1

To cut to the chase I'd love to move to America; it's something I've said for a few years now and my goal is to find a decent job, pack our bags and leave. But for now I've got a few year's worth of photos to look back through if I ever start feeling nostalgic. Here's what we got up to this time -

We spent a lot of time down at the local town of Celebration - days filled with relaxing by the lake, drinking the best filtered coffee and checking out the local shops. Evenings spent in similar fashion; working our way through the craft beer menu at the Town Tavern (immense Boston food too), at Market Street Cafe for shakes or drowning ourselves in salted cameral ice-cream at Kilwins.

No trip to Orlando would be complete without some G-Force action - we whizzed around both Universal Studios + Islands of Adventure in one day! The newish Harry Potter area is definitely the crowd pleaser at the moment but my personal highlight was visiting The Simpsons area; seriously guys Springfield looked incredible! Duff beer on tap, Lard Lad Donuts the size of your face...I just wish we had the brains to eat at Moe's and not a rushed hot dog earlier on!

As always I was trigger happy in the supermarkets + shops, looking for packaging to pique my interest, I'll leave that for part 2!

Hope you enjoyed this one, have a lovely weekend folks!

  1. Ah, I'm so glad I came across your blog I feel like I can live through someone else's Florida trips now too. I just posted about how much I missed being in Orlando (especially for fourth of July). I spent a lot of time in Celebration on my last trip and paid a visit to Town Tavern as well. Great photos, looking forward to part two!

  2. More more more! I love reading about people's travels. Memories, experiences, thoughts, sights, sounds...thats the stuff that makes life great.

    I cannot believe that there is a place called Celebration. Made me smile.

  3. I've never been to Orlando before, but visiting the Simpsons area at Universal would be on the top of my list if I go!

  5. Your photos are amazing! I have been to San Fansisco which was brilliant, but I've never ventured any where else in the US yet - there are so many places on my to visit list though, I am going to have to put Florida on there too now!
