Fast Cars

Nothing to report for Weight Loss Wednesday, so I'm going to switch it up a little!

I have been going to Disney World for as long as I can remember. Living around an hour away, my family made it a staple trip for me and my sister when we were younger. The older I got, the less cool I thought it was. Until college! Then, I started going with my friends, and of course, I was able to drink around the world. :-)

When I started dating my boyfriend, he was confused about the whole thing. He thought it was for little kids. Now, he's definitely changed his mind.

We started off our weekend with a little champagne toast!
For his 30th birthday, we decided to head to Disney for the weekend with my sister and her boyfriend. We stayed at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort. If you are torn between staying at an on-property hotel versus a slightly cheaper one off property, spring for the on-property one. Not only are the hotels extremely well taken care of and close to parks, but the staff does whatever they can to make your stay that much more special.

Steve and the just-rolled-off-a-truck, brand new Ferrari F30
Saturday brought on the big day.... the Exotic Driving Experience. For his birthday and Christmas presents, I decided to get Steve behind the wheel of a Ferrari F30. I'm a really awesome girlfriend. It was definitely an amazing experience, and once I heard those engines and saw those shiny, fast cars, I wanted to do it myself! The staff was wonderful (as expected), and the whole experience was very cool, even if you weren't driving.

My vehicle design

To continue with the fast car theme of the weekend, we headed over to Epcot bright and early on Sunday morning to try out the new Test Track! The coolest new feature has to be designing your own vehicle. You pick the lines, shape, the colors, any special add-ons as well as what you want it to excel in whether it be fast, high performing, environmentally friendly, etc. After you ride Test Track (which is completely redone on the inside...I'm still undecided as to whether or not I like the upgrade), all of the vehicles designed by the people in your car are graded from best to worst. I thought mine was going to win... it is in an awesome burnt orange color (GO CANES!).

Bottom line, whether you're 9 or 109, there's definitely something for you to do at Disney. Some trips are constantly go-go-go for my friends and I (We were known for visiting all four parks in one day), but there have been trips where we like to grab a margarita or glass of wine and just people watch.

Since I'm starting to look at hotels for my drinking around the world for St. Patty's Day in Disney, I think Favorite Things Friday  may also be Disney themed.
Do you have a favorite thing to do in Disney World that you must do every visit?
