The Mission- Eight days at Disney World, three kiddos, one teenager and 2 adults.  Two suites.  Two hour time difference.  And heat.  Lots and lots of heat combined with humidity…..  The recap:

• Two days at Disney World





• LM is tall enough to ride ALL the rides.  WOOT!




• Hooters (yum!)
• Space Mountain is by FAR everyone’s favorite. 
• LM has *no* fear and will attempt anything.  *shaking head*  (I see good…and bad in this, lol)
  

• Shuttle rides are long.  Hot.  Humid. And when it rains (which was every afternoon/evening), lack air conditioning.  (gah!)

• It’s HOT.  And HUMID.
  

• It rains.  A LOT.  (every afternoon) And HARD.  It’s insane.  I’ve never experienced that much rain in that short of time.  It would start and with in a minute you would be *soaked*.
  

• Chevy’s (yum! We don’t have those)

• Sea World (woot!) By far the most hot, humid, miserable day.  Rained several times. 
  
  

• Shamu Rocks! (the show) was AWESOME.




• Children regretted decision to sit in “SPLASH ZONE” after already being drenched in rain storm AND it becoming dark (doh!)
  
• Tony Roma’s has THE. BEST. mango-strawberry margaritas E.V.E.R!  Salmon wasn’t bad either ~wink~

• Epcot was….Epcot.  As PC pointed out, it was worth visiting once.  THIS RIDE kicked *ass*.  (Poor PC missed it after waiting in a 70plus minute line, one of the kiddos wasn’t as excited as we were to ride it). 



(yes, proof my children don’t always get along…)

• THIS RIDE sucked ass. (…menolikey….I am extremely claustrophobic combined with the ‘simulation’ part….:::puke:::…)

• Coco beach is very cool.
• Ron Jon is VERY VERY VERY cool. We (meaning PC’s niece and I) could have spent an entire day in there.  Bummer it was an hour away from the hotel (damnit).

• Shopping at Downtown Disney was….chaotic.  And crowded.  But
  worth doing, definitely.  Each of the 3 kids managed to find what their
  heart desired (and ironically enough we could have guessed what
  each would pick, lol…I was able to focus LM’s attention on
  something other than the $65 pirate costume he wanted *cough* …storm trooper guns are SO much less expensive cooler *wink*)

• Daytona Beach was sunny and kept us out of the rain for the first day since we arrived (I mean it rained at the hotel/parks the entire day….but never at Daytona, SAH-WEET!)



• Time difference totally screwed with us.  ie- woke up at funky
  times, ate at weird ass times, went to bed at even weirder times.  *shrug*
• Only sucky things to speak of besides the daily rain showers (and insane, icky heat Wednesday) was the intermittent internet (annoying) and nasty coffee (barf…and hey.  That is A LOT coming from me, lol!).
• Oh.  A coffee chain should so totally hit Downtown Disney.  It’s a sad thing when the only place you can get specialty coffee is from the ONE Dunkin Donuts.  I think that should be my next business adventure. ~grins~

Frog hunting….

Even ducks go on vacation!  Mr and Mrs Duck taking a dip. 

We took over two hundred pictures over the eight days.  LM was almost always at my side and rode all the rides with me.  LP and PC’s son were fairly inseparable.  When they weren’t he was spending time with his daddy.  PC’s ex was promised I wouldn’t ever post pictures of their son here.  So, all of those things combined caused me to be able to a) post very few pictures of LP, b) post very few pictures of PC, c) post very pictures of the kids or all of us.  I also decided that I had so many great beach shots, that I will hold off and post those next wk.
