Every year, for as long as I can remember, I have spent New Year's Eve with my family. We would eat a big meal, we would tell stories and laugh, and we would watch the countdown on T.V. This year was a bit different. To ring in 2017, I took a trip to Walt Disney World with my girlfriend and her family. I landed in Orlando the day after Christmas and drove to the hotel. After unpacking and resting a bit, we drove to Magic Kingdom. The first thing we did was eat at the Liberty Tree Tavern. The food was great and the service was even better. The waitress asked us some brainteasers and awarded us a free fast pass. After eating we decided to go on a few rides. After a few hours we for dinner at the Beauty and the Beast themed restaurant called Be Our Guest. The food was great and the atmosphere was very fun if you're a fan of the movie. After dinner we went on a couple more rides and then found a nice spot to watch the fireworks.
