August 14th, We wake up to the normal Amtrak "where are we and how late are we" mode. The Amtrak waits for the bathroom and such. I made it through my fear of the conducter telling "ME" (yes ME, I was the only one with $) that the rule is one free baby per adult so with my sister springing this extra kid in the picture, I would have to get an extra child tix. We feed everyone donuts and boxes orange juice and I go get my sis2 (from now on I'll put sis2 for my middle sister with her own 4 kids and sis3 is the youngest sister with 3 of other peolpes kids, so I don't confuse anyone) and I some coffee. We listened to our CD players while the kids colored and made club house with the sheets. We were 2 1/2 hours behind and finally arrived in Orlando, FL. I get over to the shuttle and although I made reservation they had no clue who I was. We sat there a while until they figured out how to fit all 13 of us in the shuttle. Problem 1 they had 2 car seats and there was 3 babies (this was the 1st time this extra baby became a problem). Finally they called the office and they told them to go on and take us.
We get to the Quality Suites and I am scared they are going to say something about all of these people for one room, once again forcing "ME" to have to pay for an extra room. Everyone gets out and I turn around and sis3 had left to the store taking her stroller with the 2 kids in it (ghetto style) and ALL THE BOYS leaving sis2 and I with our babies and our girls age9 &10. So we left the older girls watching the babies and we packed all the stuff in the lobby including sis3's stuff (once again I was mad b/c she wouldn't have to leave if she didn't bring the extra baby b/c they knew about everyone else). I was checkiing in and sis2 started to stack the bags onto the luggage cart. I came over to help when I was done checking in. There was the large suitcase left so sis2 had the luggage cart, I had the suitcase and the girls had the strollers. We get to our room and have to get all these bags in the room. I leave to go find out were sis3 went b/c she didn't say. I get to the store out in front of Quality Suites and there she is sitting on the curb drinking a soda HELLO.... WHO REALLY NEEDS THE SODA. We get upstairs and I decide I need to get something to eat, I am straving and just worked up a hunger. I decide to go to the Western Sizzler. Everyone had the buffet but sis2 and I added a steak which was awful and they refunded it for me. We get back to the hotel, unpack and the kids and sis2 decide to go for a swim. I turn around and they are all coming back in the door and some of the kids are crying so I asked what happened and they all said "the pool closed at 11p.m. Oh well shower and off to bed, Universal tomorrow.
