M.I.C. K.E.Y. — M.O.U.S.E!!!!!! Ahh Florida, we miss you already. That’s right folks, the long awaited family trip to the great state of FLA has come and gone. The entire crew went and we all had a great time. Could certainly have used a couple more days, but all-in-all it was excellent. Kids and dogs (and wifey) too the road trip in the Jeep like champs! No bickering and generally seemed to enjoy it. However, if you ask them they will all say they want to fly next time. I can’t say I disagree. Not that I don’t enjoy the drive, but with flying you can about 2.5 days on your destination time. Disney World was excellent. We spent 3 days at the parks. First day was Hollywood Studios. Did as much as we could there. Both kids checked out Star Tours (Star Wars ride) and Abby even went on Tour Of Terror with Shannon and I. I was a bit nervous on her behalf, but she came out giggly, so it’s a good thing I guess.
The next 2 park days were both spent at the Magic Kingdom. The first trip with the entire family although fun, was WAY too busy. Apparently the USA now has Fall Break, and of course, our trip ran through the middle of it. We did what we could, but given the staggering number of people, everything took forever. On our final day at Disney Shannon and I went with the kid back to Magic Kingdom. Thankfully it was MUCH quieter and we were able to see pretty much every single ride we wanted to. Also had time to meet some princesses.
Aside from Disney parks we spent most of our time at the pool. a little bit of shopping and also got to check out Katie/Brians honeymoon hotel and more importantly the cool pools at the Grand Floridian Disney Resort. I certainly see the appeal, but man I’m glad I didn’t have to pay those prices to stay. Trip would have been 1-2 nights instead of a week 😉
