I try to get in a mile or two of walking everyday. The issue is finding a good place to get in the exercise. Walking around this park gets old. I need variety and interesting things to take pictures. There are a couple of wildlife preserves nearby and Disney World. I use the theme parks as a place to get my walking exercise.

The blackout period associated with my Walt Disney World annual pass was over as of Monday. The next blackout period begins in the middle of April, so I need to get in my visits while I can. On Tuesday afternoon I went to EPCOT and today I went to Animal Kingdom. In both cases I only rode a ride or two. My main purpose was getting in some exercise, taking a few pictures and watching the antics of my fellow visitors. It is easy to get in two or three miles as measured by my Fitbit while walking in from the parking lot and making a loop or two around the park.

On Tuesday EPCOT was very busy. The Flower and Garden Festival continues to draw guests to the park. It was a good thing I didn’t need to ride any of the rides. Wait times were very long. Today at Animal Kingdom it wasn’t busy, but it was Sunny and warm. The nice weather sent the animals into the shade for a nap.
