Orlando is convenient, so my husband and I are making our third trip north to the fun times of the city. It’s only a two hour drive from where we live, but we always book a room at one of the resort hotels that Florida offers to all its visitors.

This trips focus is on using up our Sea World Tickets, they expire next month and then use one of our Disney Quest tickets to see ‘Cirque du Soleil’. After arriving to our resort hotel, we relaxed a bit poolside and then went for a massage. Later, we grabbed some dinner, but it was Friday, which means every restaurant is packed. We had to wait about 45 minutes to get a table at one of our favorite restaurants. But, as always, the cuisine did not disappoint. After dinner, we stayed the rest of the evening at Disney Quest. This visit, we experienced a very crowded Disney Quest, there were people of all ages enjoying themselves, just like we were. The games there range from the old-school Pac Man to the new tech-interactive games. Our favorite is the Pirates of the Caribbean and any game that has to do with racing.

The next morning, we went to Downtown Disney for lunch at Wolfgang Puck Cafe and to purchase an extra ticket for ‘Cirque du Soleil’. After we purchase our tickets for tonight’s show, we drove to Sea World and spent the rest of the day there. We been here many times, but we always enjoy it here. After Sea World, we had dinner at Pardiso 37. This was our first time at this restaurant and we’ll certainly dine here again. The cuisine was great, the service was superb and the music was lively.

It was time to make our way to ‘Cirque du Solie’. Our seats were in the back, but they are higher up, so our view was great, especially for the acts performed in the air. For anyone who isn’t familiar with ‘Cirque du Soleil’, it’s hard to describe how this ‘no-animal’ circus transports you into another world full of amazing feats and whispers of magical moments. The music alone is wonderful and the performers are all beautiful and exquisite. Go if you haven’t, you will not be disappointed and then you will kick yourself for missing it all these years.
