DISNEYWORLD!!!!!!

So the last blog being about mostly school I grazed past the infection that I had pretty quickly. The truth about this blasted thing is, it was horrid. The doctors were completely confounded and couldn't figure out why while watching me, the redness started getting worse. Like going up my neck and around the back of my head, down my torso. It was super scary. They did all sorts of unmentionables to me, and then started telling me that I couldn't eat or drink, as they were planning surgery. I must have said the next phrase at LEAST 100 times. "Do whatever you need to do, but I am going to Disneyworld in 10 days, so do it quick." The next day, same comment, but down to 9 days. I really think the whole power of positive suggestion worked, because we went to Disneyworld on the 27th, and it was AMAZING! I am so grateful that we got to go and I wasn't in a wheelchair! (I would STILL have gone! COME ON! It's freaking Disneyworld!!!) Anyway. Below is the skinny on the trip... :)

Wednesday the 27th we got on the plane to go! Woo-Hoo! There is much excitement in the house, in the car, and then in the plane. Fortunately it was containable excitement and we didn't get too many people too irritated. We got there that night and the inevitable happened. All the things I forgot started coming up. ARGH. The restaurant reservations, the end of the antibiotics for Jack, and it was BLASTED HOT. We (meaning mainly me) we having a rough night that night. But the heavens opened and so did Disney World at 9 AM! :)

First day was Magic Kingdom. We are SWEATING SO profusely, it's amazing. It was 95 degrees, and 95 percent humidity. I am not kidding when I say you could see the humidity in the air. It was like little clouds. CRAZY. For those of you who are looking confused at the extra adult in the pics, that is My niece Kasey. We talked her into coming to help even out the parent to child ratio. We were back to man-to-man defense with her there. PS- She is single and obviously SO cute, so hit me up to hook her up! :)

Happy Birthday to me!! :) Is there a better to way to spend your b-day than Space Mountain? I mean, seriously!?!?! Plus one of our waiters thought Kasey and I were sisters, 5 years apart is what he guessed. :) NICE!!! Maybe he just wanted a huge tip... but I loved it anyway! And YES. My shoulders DID get sunburned. OUCH. We went to this beautiful "palace" for lunch, and we had AWESOME food. Plus the Pooh Bear characters joined us for pics.

Onto the next day, David's favorite place! The Animal Kingdom. Now before you look at the next pics, you MUST remember that we were just talking about how hot and muggy it was? We got off the dinosaur ride, (which is all inside) and walked out to get our stroller (parked outside) and it was like someone turned the sky faucet on high. Pouring like you wouldn't believe. We missed most of the shows and such because it was SO rainy the animals wouldn't cooperate. David's shirt is a light-grey normally. We were SOAKED! Jack scored though, we let the kids each pick something, and he picked the hooded dino towel. He was warm and dry, the little punk!

This picture is SO funny to me. mainly because I was roaring at Jack to try to keep him from being afraid, and then it took! I had no idea! It was hilarious though. Check out Kasey too, she was FREAKED! And note the complete lack of Harris. He is actually sitting next to Kasey, you just can't see him, since he's ducking so low!! Hahahha...

The day was on to Disney's Hollywood Studios (Formerly MGM) where we did Tower of Terror and some other fun things. This was Jacky's favorite lunch, as it was the Playtown Disney Character lunch. So the Little Einsteins and JoJo the clown were there. It was very over-stimulating for the adults, but the kids were loving it!

Possibly the most fun for my boys was where we stayed. We stayed in DisneyWorld at the "Camp Wilderness Cabins". There were little frogs, toads, and lizards that the kids could catch, and they were just in heaven!!! I can't tell you how awesome this place is. The cabins themselves are rustic and a bit small, but they perfectly fit all of us, and had a fridge and stove, so we didn't have to buy every meal. The dining plan with Disney is a MUST! Watch their site, sometimes (like ours) the dining plan will be "thrown in" just to get you to book. Probably this time of the year because it was hurricane season and we were washed out of the parks once. But only one day was it really raining, so we made indoor smores (thanks to Kasey's expertise of heating them on the element/burner) and watched movies. What a great trip.

If anyone is a glutton for punishment and would like to see more pics, let me know, but I was figuring this would do it! :) This should sum up the trip. It was fun and wonderful and next time You all have to come with!!! :) Have a great school year everyone!!
