Animal Kingdom @ Walt Disney World, Winter 2024

Then we made it over to Animal Kingdom, where we ended up going on quite a few occasions because we were a bit addicted to the drawing classes! Now I have technically been to this park before when I was over for a conference way back in 2017 but I think my friend and I stayed for maybe less than 2 hours, we came, saw the line for the safari was over 2 hours wait, had a look at maybe the gorillas and the tigers, had a quick drink by the water, got absolutely soaked by a rain storm, and went shopping – so we didn’t get to make the most of it but we did enjoy our shopping^ Anyway, glad to be back and experience it properly, this time with the Christmas decorations too:

A Christmassy Magic Kingdom @ Walt Disney World, Winter 2024

Ticking off Disney Resort number 4, Disney World! And of course had to start with Magic Kingdom – the park I was most excited to go to and experience, and where we probably ended up spending most time. Going over the end of November and start of December meant it was in the middle of Christmas season, which we were so excited to experience after having experienced Christmas at Disneyland Paris two years previously.

Exploring the Space Coast, Florida, Winter 2024

A little Winter series – throwing it back to my sister and I’s trip from 2024 where we had ourselves a fun Florida trip! We were there for just over 2 weeks and booked and planned this over a year in advance. It was quite nice to escape the cold of Scotland and arrive to hot weather in Florida in November, it sure did feel strange with both warm weather and Christmas trees at the same time XD The first stop on our trip was the Space Coast – the eastern coastline of Florida close to Orlando. We had the weekend there before heading inland and it was such a great start to our trip.

Summer snapshots from Schonbrunn Zoo Vienna, August 2026

With fantastic weather on my visit to Vienna in August, I think all of the animals were having a great time! While I only had one day of visiting, I think I made the most in trying to see as much as I could and luckily most of the animals were outside. Highlights definitely included seeing the sea lion baby (tooooo cute and tiny, and so loud in it’s squeaks!), having a good viewing of the giraffes outside, seeing the cheetah cubs much more grown up from my last visit, and also seeing the hippos outside as well, both on land and in the pool.

Summer with the PANDAS at Schonbrunn Zoo Vienna

I rounded out my 13months in a row of seeing at least one panda a month by going to see the pandas in Vienna again at Schonbrunn Zoo – making my third trip on my annual pass covering a total of 5 days at the zoo. This pair is a definite favourite and it was great to finally experience Summer and warm weather in Vienna as it’s always been cold/Winter on my previous visits – Vienna and the zoo are both beautiful in the sun and I can’t wait to make more Summer visits in the future!
