Okay, I am typing this from a hotel room(in KY) in which I am thoroughly convinced that I am now a full-fledged WDWAddict.
When we checked in last night, I was so excited that we were only two doors from the elevator. Two doors! Then I realized that the whole darn length of the place was about one leg of a Disney hotel hall and it wouldn't matter because we weren't going to be walking around for hours in a themepark.
When we got to the room I was very abruptly disappointed in the furnishings. It wasn't my home---(DVC, not that place I live in between trips to WDW). Though that was also because this place hasn't changed the wallpaper since I stayed here as a high school kid--or anything else for that matter. I don't even think the paint is any newer. Of course, it's probably because high school kids stay here a lot, lol. It is clean, but not the 3 star that Expedia had it listed as. Not like we had any choosing, my dh has a convention in this hotel...but I digress...
My ds and I ventured out to the local zoo today while dh was in meetings. I couldn't help compare things to WDW>and AK. Everthing was nice, but I couldn't help feel a little sorry for the animals. In WDW I never really feel sorryfor them. It seems like the animals there are so well cared for and the surroundings are well maintained. Then as we were walking through the Gorilla Sanctuary my little guy got bit or stung by something. I say bit because it looks like some small creature just took a little chunk out of his skin right under his neck. While he's there screaming and crying I grab the only thing cold I've got-a Sprite bottle-and holdit to his neck. I look around desperately for a worker to look at it--I'm imaginging some funky bug that bit my sweet one is some rare thing that hangs around with gorillas---and it scared me to death--and yes I am very dramatic....but I can't find a worker anywhere. A lady nearby comes over to check on us, she is a nurse and looks at Ben and is worried about an allergic reaction....she has to use her cell phone to call directory assistance to get the zoo number to report that we need someone to come with a first aid kit! I'm thinking, at wDW there are always CM's somewhere near! Anyway, I think he's fine, she told me I should definitely watch him all day because she'd never seen a bee sting like that.
Then to top it all off, while my ds is napping, just now my dh comes in in between meetings and says, what if we take off to WDW for a few days on Christmas break? Are you kidding me? He says, start researching. So Ido, but then he decides it's too expensive. Just like that. How cruel!!!
Anyway, my name is Jennifer and I am a disneyaholic.
