One of the most enjoyably memorable experiences of my life occurred when I was but a tike. Much about the adventures I had as a four year old kid on a family vacation to Disney World in Orlando, Florida remains as crystal clear in my mind as events that happened last week. The ride into the park on the Monorail, Adventureland, the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse – everything there blew my little boy mind in a big way! In particular, the Haunted Mansion scared the living daylights out of me as nothing has since – I loved it! And as the name of this blog might suggest, the Enchanted Tiki Room made a most lasting impression!
Back then, a trip to Florida meant Mom and Dad waking my sis and me in the middle of the night for a several hours drive from our north Georgia home. These days living on the other side of the Atlantic, I’m happy to report there are plenty of cheap flights to Orlando and elsewhere in Florida. I could do with a sunny dose of orange-flavoured, mouse-eared kitsch right about now. Who’s up for some Mickey Mouse action in FLA?
