The day after Disney

Well it is Spring Break for my daughter so we took a family trip. Where does a family from Florida vacation at? Disney, of course. It was the little man's first real trip since his last one he had pneumonia and was completely out of it. We are members of the vacation club (a fabulous idea by the way)so we stayed at the Old Key West resort. The best part about staying in the condos as opposed to the hotel room is the WASHING MACHINE, only a mom can appreciate this fact. Coming home, unpacking clean clothes and not having a mound of laundry to do is vacation enough to me. We left on Sunday and just hung out at the quiet pool and cooked hamburgers. It was the first time we put water wings on the man. At first he thought we were trying to kill him, but as soon as he floated in the water, and did not sink to the bottom he was very cool with it. He has always been very good in the water and has honestly never sunk to the bottom. He has no fear, which can be a blessing or a curse. His sister, whom he has taken to calling Sissy, instead of School, was such a help to me, because I had to take pool duty while hubby cooked the Bubbas. The water was sooooo cold, see people from Florida don't usually get in the water, pool, beach, lake, until at least Memorial Day, preferable Fourth of July. We had a very relaxing first evening. The next day after getting up and lazing around (boy I was really loving this vacation stuff) we headed off to the Magic Kingdom. I swear the moment we stepped thru the gates, it started to rain, now we are experienced Disney travelers so we did pack the ponchos, we unpacked the ponchos in the room and that is where they stayed the entire trip. We watched the parade and then proceeded to the back of the park, like a salmon swimming upstream. Little Missy and I were going to ride Space Mountain but the wait time was 130 minutes, the fast pass return time was 8:50pm...it was 3pm. No way we say, we are not going to wait that long or tie up our fast pass tickets for the whole evening. Needless to say it was 9pm when we got in line for Space Mountain, after waiting in the 70 minute line for about 30 minutes we were politely informed that they were having technical difficulties. What does one do? I mean do you really want to ride a rollercoaster that has just had difficulties? Is it safer, or is it more likely to have another difficulty, and do I really want to be on it in the middle of it's difficulty? By the way, what was the difficulty? Paper blown on the track, one of the lights blew out, cart flew off the track with a person who took their chance after a difficulty? Yep, we waited and took our chance, we did not fly off the track, but I may have tinkled my pants (oh maybe that is what happened, they had a little "spill" on the track. We both enjoyed it, but you know there is a huge difference between riding Space Mountain when you are 13 and when you are 40. We ended the night with boom booms and then the parade.
The little man did not seem to be especially impressed either way, and really only liked Goof as he likes to call him. Sure, he trusts the one that is like 7 foot tall, but not the cute little Minnie Mouse. We did a character breakfast(Animal Kingdom) and dinner (Liberty Tree)and he did finally warm up to them, but overall, he really didn't get it.
Oh well, maybe next time.....
