Five on Friday

Mt holiday is now so close, this will be my 42nd trip to Florida a holiday destination that as a family we love.  We don't always visit the parks, there is so much more to Florida than theme parks.  The flora and fauna alone is worth a visit.  This trip our daughters little family is coming along and we are therefore doing Walt Disney World.  A very tiring but fulfilling holiday seeing a lot of firsts for my Grandaughters.

I am once again joining Amy over at lovemademyhome.blogspot.co.uk/ for the Five on Friday meme.  Pop over and see what fives others are doing.

My five this week are of course Disney linked and are books that we have collected over the years.  First up is a cook book that we use to recreate some of the amazing food we have had at some of the resorts on our return.  We can reminisce and recreate some wonderful memories.  We have already got reservations for Boma in Animal Kingdom Lodge which features some rather delightful flavours of Africa. 

 
One of our favourite rides in Magic Kingdom is Pirates of the Caribbean and we have of course watched the movie, so it goes without saying that we would have the book.  It has gone full circle starting as a ride, becoming a film and then once again a top attraction ride.
 
 
My third book is a vintage edition of Walt Disney World, the pictures are wonderful to look at seeing the attractions and resorts from when I first went, a great book to pick up and remember my girls and the fun that they had, running from one character and ride to another.
 
 
Number four is Disney Treasures, an amazing collection of memorabilia, another exciting book to dip in and out of with exciting pockets of added information.
 
 
 
My final choice is a book that is another great book that you can dip in and out of showing the art of animation full of wonderful illustrations. 
 
 
Five marvellous books to share with the family and remind us of previous adventures.
 
 
 
See you soon.

  11. You must have fabulous memories of your travels! It must feel as though you are residents when you visit, you must know where everything is by now! Amazing to have gone to the same place so many times. I hope that you have a wonderful visit this time! Thank you for joining Five On Friday. xx

  13. Oh we love Florida too and regularly visit other places as well as the theme parks. My Captured Moment on the 8th October showed my girls swimming with a Manatee in the wild, he just appeared in a country park that we visited. It cost $6 to park the car and the girls say that was the best thing about the holiday. I have attached a link in the post, it was ace! They are five great books, I think Walt Disney is one of the most fascinating characters of all time. Have a lovely weekend counting down xx

  22. Have a wonderful trip and enjoy your time in Florida. My nephew lives there on the gulf side of the state. We have visited a couple of times, (mainly to embark on a cruise ship). It's so green and beautiful but a bit too humid for us west coast people (California). Wishing you safe travels and I look forward to hearing all about your adventures. My best to you, Pat xx

  26. A Disney cookbook? I've never seen that. I have a girlfriend who would ADORE that and it would make the perfect Christmas gift. Thanks for sharing it! (We're going to Florida in March. No Disney this time - just Universal and Legoland!)

  27. 42 trips is impressive! We have been twice, the first time we went I really wasn't bothered but wanted to take the children. However, I loved it sooo much we went back 2 years later. I love Animal Kingdom, it is so well done and we also love Pirates of the Caribbean. Bet you can't wait to go now especially, with your granddaughters!
