It did not take long before we ventured back to Florida and Walt Disney World Resort, this would be my eleventh trip there, but it is the first time that I have been so late in the year (November 11th - December 2nd), which means for one week the place was full with all the Thanksgiving crowds.  But it also meant that all the Christmas Holiday decorations were out which was great for us to see for the first time.

This was the second time that we have spent three weeks there and have to say it is much better that the standard two that we used to do, you just get to see a lot more and get more time to relax.

Every trip I do now to Florida I try to do something different, this year was no exception, along with new rides such as Sheikra, Soarin and Lilo and Stitch, I took part in Divequest at the Living Seas in EPCOT and the Backstage Safari at Animal Kingdom, more information about these can be found in the relevant sections below.  

Our hotel for the trip was the Disney All Star Music, it is one of the Disney value resorts and although it is about double the price of a hotel on International Drive I think that it is great value for money as it includes admission to all the Disney parks, the use of Disney transportation on site and you can enter the parks an hour early.  This was the sixth time that I have stayed in a Disney hotel and I can't see myself staying in any other resort in the Orlando area.

The only couple of bad parts of the holiday was for the last week I had a really bad cold which made going out to the parks rather unpleasant.  Also, one of my memory cards for my digital camera got corrupted leading to the loss of around 300 photographs, mainly from EPCOT.

Below you can go to any of my photo albums divided by park.

This is a 3 minute edit of my scuba diving experience in the giant tanks at the Living Seas in EPCOT.

This DiveQuest experience was one of the highlights of my 2005 trip and would highly recommend it to any divers going to Walt Disney World.
