Letztes Wochenende war es endlich soweit – we saw the Magical World of Disney and adventurous Universal!

It’s hard to put it in words, you just have to see it yourself. I have a bunch of pictures though to show you some impressions.

There is SO MUCH so see, explore, ride and do! Characters, Live Music, Shows around every corner! Ob Mickey, Acapella Singing, Stormtroopers or Marilyn Monroe, you will always find a surprise!

We went to all 4 parks in Disney (Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios and Epcot) as well as to (both Parks at) Universal. Important fact: Disney & Universal are HUGE competitors! So, don’t wear your Mickey Hat in Universal!

My favorite parts of the trip:

5. Ariel(le) Musical Show

My favorite Disney movie and childhood memory put in a brief Musical / Show

4.5 Monster Inc (AG) Interactive Show

An interactive Comedy Show with real comedians behind Monsters, who include around 5 random people from the audience into their jokes (Matthew needs to buy Churros for all of us!)

4. Rollercoasters: Revenge of the Mummy Ride in Ancient Egypt & Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit at Universal

Very fun, surprising Roller Coasters with great themes and even some backwards parts!

3.  Safari at Animal Kingdom

Ever wanted to visit Africa? It’s closer than you think – Animal Kingdom! We rode in a 12 people Jeep through a real Safari environment with Lions, Elephants, Giraffs and Corocodiles plus extraordinary Trees and plants!

2. Fireworks in Magic Kingdom and Light Show in Epcot

Stunning finals of the day: The Castle in Magic Kingdom was lit up with all different Disney movie themes, according Music and a flying Tinkerbell! The Laser show in Epcot (the worlds) was deeper and very impressive, too!

1. Epcot’s different worlds -> especially the Middle East & Germany

If you enter the different worlds, you could really think you are in Maroc, Cambridge or China. It is impressive, how authentic the buildings, shops and staff are! In Germany, I talked to some German employees (Matt did, too), which was very cool and interesting!

0.5 Chinese Woman encountering

Between Cambridge and China, Giules took pictures of Matthew & me on a bridge in the sunset, when suddenly a Chinese woman joined him. Her and her ultra long lense professional camera took AMAZiNG pictures of us (under her instructions). Despite language barriers, we communicated enough to have gorgeous pictures and exchange email addresses. It was hilarious, super sweet and simply awesome! #CulturalExchangex4
