Day 5
Phoned hospital about Cuthbert after breakfast.Told him we were going to Blizzard Beach and if he was up to it he should meet us at the kiddie place.I was totally fascinated at the fact the snow did not melt in the heat.America is a wonderful place!
Left Yasmin at Catchachildy creek and I went off exploring.Took chairlift to Summit Pelmet and stood in a queue to see what everyone was looking at.Next thing I know I am flying down a very steep slope at a rate of knots! What a thrill!Went to the creek place and tried to get into doughnut to float.Eventually a person held my doughnut and his friend lifted me onto it.How relaxing was this floating place although they could have missed out the ice cave area.I was chilled to the bone and developed hair issues!After floating round three times I asked a person to help me out my doughnut.He tipped it over!I was not amused.Went to check on Yasmin and the children.They weren't there but Cuthbert was.Told him that Summit Pelmet would revive him but he refused,still not well,bless,didn't want anymore vomitting-forgot face cloth and towel.
Left note for Yasmin and returned to hotel.Got hair repaired while Cuthbert went for a snooze.After changing got into the car and drove to MGM.I drove,don't trust Cuthbert in his present state.
Heade straight for Tower of Terror via Muoppet 3dimensional.Cuthbert laughed heartily so I knew he was fine.The hired help at the Hollywood Terror Hotel were a bit scary.When we got into the elevator Cuthbert sat in the middle seat.Felt safer with a seat belt!Ride was fine until what I thought was a rat landed on my head.Turned to tell Cuthbert and discovered he was BALD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I fainted.I have known him for 6 years and never knew he wore a toupee.The hired help managed to retrieve it from the elevator where I had thrown it.After I had come round we stuck his toupee back on with chewing gum and headed for the Rocky Rollering Coaster.Cuthbert thought he'd had a face lift in this picture until he realised it wasn't him sitting next to me!He was sat in front,don't trust his stomach enough to sit beside him.By chance Yasmin appeared with a stroller and the children so I hopped straight in while Cuthbert went to be sick in the gents toilets.Yasmin told me she wanted to go to Pleasure Ireland.I tried to put her off telling her that Pinocchio went there and they turn children into donkeys.She went anyway and left the children.Cuthbert carried Dixie on his back and pushed myself and Amos in the stroller.
Went to the India Jones show it was good.When they asked for volunteers I jumped up and down shouting " my name is Veronica and I'm from Devon,England and I'm staying at the Grand Floridian Resort"but I was not chosen.I flung my cup down in disgust and the juice went all over the three persons in front.We moved promptly to the back.
Took children to Star Tours.Amos just met the height restrictions.What a great ride.Myself and the children loved it.Cuthbert tried banging on the door halfway through to get off but he couldn't reach it.He managed to vomit in a bag he found.I told the persons the snow white dress would be fine after a wash.She was not happy so I gave her the money to purchase a new one.She gave me the vomit one so I will ask Yasmin to wash it tomorrow.Dixie can wear it and if it doesn't fit her then it will fit Amos.
Back to the hotel and went to bed.Cuthbert had a coffee!!!!
Tomorrow: Epcot and Fantasia Gardens

DAY 6
We all went to Epcot today with our passports so we could visit the countries. Never got stopped at Customs or Passport Control. We asked where it was and were laughed at We visited all the countries. Here are our thoughts:
Canada : The persons here haven`t heard of Brian Montgomery either. I don`t know what all the Canada DISniers were talking about, I walked round this country in 5 minutes. I did like the flowers.
England : Not impressed. Where was Harrods?
France : Just passed through here. No comment.
Morocco : Couldn`t find any Greek persons here but did find Aladdin and again walked to front(had fastpass) and got some pictures.
Japan : How nice. The shop is endearing. Cuthbert purchased his mother a lovely souvenir. A Japanese flag. She will like this, she has been there once. I purchased Kimonos for myself, Cuthbert and the children.
America : Went to the adventure theatre show thing. I feel asleep (it is tiring walking round the world). Cuthbert said it was patriotic stuff and would have been way over my head.
Italy : Yasmin bought a little flag here. She learned to speak Italian at school. I can only say Bella and Lasagne.
Germany : Saw Snow White and her seven merry men. How adorable. I asked the hired help if I could use child swap to get Dopey and Grumpy. She thought I was joking!!! I looked for my DISnier buddy Viking but I couldn`t find him. Perhaps he was at work.
China : Had a lovely meal here and watched some adorable Chinese culture. Dixie got a China flag. Our stroller looked like an advert for the United Nations!
Norway : Purchased a troll for Amos. He thought it looked like Cuthbert, bless. Did some shopping for myself.
Mexico : Cuthbert and the children went on the boat ride here. Told Cuthbert it was on a track so he should not suffer from sea sickness. Yasmin and I shopped. I purchased some quaint Mexico ytpe items for myself.
After this we rushed over to Shrink the Persons. Yasmin played outside with the children. Cuthbert was terrified, bless. I sat on his knee so he couldn`t lift his legs at the mice. How cute to see a grown man cry. He also appeared to have spilt a little soda on his trousers!!!!
Went to Fantastical Gardens because Cuthbert wanted to play golf. I lost 15 balls.I think Cuthbert lost his mind the way he screamed at me. I won in the end and Cuthbert went in a huff! He really is pathetic at times. I suppose I should be grateful he didn`t vomit! Had a look at the hotels with the fish and the duck on their roofs. I couldn`t stay here myself. I don`t like the colour of the buildings. I did like the Beach yacht club place. Rather elegant!
Back to Epcot for Illuminations of the sky. WOW!!!I was impressed. The sparklers in our garden will never be the same again. The children thoroughly enjoyed this amzing spectacular light, firework, laser show.
Back to car park. Only took 30 minutes to locate the car. Back to hotel. Watched some television with a little tonic. Cuthbert had some whisky ( still in a huff over the golf!). Yasmin and children went to bed.
Tomorrow : Seaworld. Very excited about this park. We will finally meet Shuma!
Love always
Veronica
DAY 7
The children were very excited about this park.We headed straight for the penguins.We were here for ages.A little black and white penguin actually waved to us!!!We were so lucky.Next we went to Terrors in the Deep.Yasmin didn't like this.I told Cuthbert to pick his lunch.LOL.We went to touch the dolphins.The hired help told me I was not allowed to hold the children over the ledge!How else were they supposed to reach!!A cute grey dolphin said hello to me.Then the hired help told me I was not allowed to feed the dolphins chips.I told him they were in fact crisps (Cheesy puffs to be exact) and they were enjoying them.But no it was NOT allowed.We left!
The Clyde and Seamore show was a hoot.The humour went way over Cuthberts head,as did the water when I volunteered him to be publicly humiliated!We went to the seals next.The noise they made got on my nerves.I would like to have put them on mute.
Went on the viewing tower next and I spotted a rollercoaster.Yasmin and I went on this next and Journey to Atlantic.Rollercoaster was amazing.The Atlantic ride ruined my hair.After lunch the children went to sleep in the stroller.Cuthbert and Yasmin had a sleep on the grass.I went to the Florida Mall and arranged to meet them later.On my way back to the park I almost hit that blasted green trolley thing.The driver had the cheek to shout at me.I waved to him with two fingers.I had to be on the left side of the road or else I would have got confused!
I had trouble getting back into Seaworld.Apparently I should have got my hand stamped.I explained that I could not go shopping with marks on my hand.They did not seem to understand so I turned on the waterworks and cried hysterically about never seeing my children again.I was starting to attract a crowd.They let me in!!!
Found the others and we went to the Shuma show.Got a seat right at the front so we could get a picture of Shuma with the children.Yasmin bought herself and the children pancho things.I declined.I have a reputation you know.Shuma would not stop to have his picture taken no matter how often I shouted to him.Then the cheek of him.He threw water all over me.He did get the other persons wet but I KNOW I WAS THE TARGET!I complained to the trainer of Shuma.They looked at my suede coat and knee high boots and chuckled.I left in tears.Cuthbert said nothing.I swear the hired help at the gates laughed at me as I left.
Back to the hotel.Everyone went to bed.I went to the bar for a whisky!
Tomorrow:Universal Studios
DAY 8
Woke up bright and early this morning and drove to University Studios. I was most surprised at the car park. It was a huge concrete monster, just like the ones in England. I was positively horrified at the walk from the car park to the gates. I fell asleep on the moving platform and woke up when I was fired off the other end and received a skinned nose. Cuthbert laughed heartily. I`m beginning to wish we had left him at home.
Our first ride was ET. We forgot Amos`s torch so he was terrified in the queue area. The hired help refused to turn the lights on. Cuthbert was scared on this ride. His knuckles turned white and he cried. I laughed heartily. Next Yasmin and I went on Back to the Future. WOW what a ride. This is how a car should be driven! On to Jaws next. I was mesmerised at how they have managed to train the sharks to jump at the correct time. Isn`t it fascinating how the electrocution does not actually kill them. Now I was tired so I went to sleep in the stroller. Yasmin allowed Dixie to push me and she pushed me into a wall. This woke me and I was not happy.
We went on Kong King next. We were not scared. Cuthbert looks worse than this in the morning! Earthquake was rather strange. When the ground opened why did the water come from above? Went to Barney the Dinosaur show. Dixie and Amos loved this. I enjoyed singing his quaint little songs. Cuthbert and I took the children on Woody Windpeckers rollering coaster. Cuthbert vomitted. Went to the Actor Animal show. We enjoyed it very much. Cuthbert sat in the back row because the pathetic little man was afraid the animals would attack him! I told him he would be safer at the back as the animals may be attracted to the scent of the vomit!
Went to Twister next. OH THE SHAME!!!! Cuthberts hair blew away and he tried to climb over the railing to retrieve it. The hired help shouted at him to get down. We had to wait until everyone had left and then the hired help retrieved it from the cow. Yasmin thought it looked better on the cow LOL. His hair looked like a wet rag but I insisted he wear it until we purchased a hat. Next ride was Hannah Barbara. Cuthbert took Amos to the stationary seats. Dixie sat with myself and Yasmin. This was an excellent ride. Best part was knocking down Wilma Flintstone. Cuthbert vomitted in the gents after this ride too.
Decided to call it a day. Returned stroller and I jumped onto Cuthberts back until we reached the car. Returned to the hotel. Yasmin took the children to the pool. Cuthbert and I went to the bar. Cuthbert got a whisky and I ordered a wedgie. I was asked to leave so I went to bed.
Tomorrow : The Islands of many great adventures

DAY 9
Day started the same as yesterday. Parked in the concrete monster and then walked for miles and miles and miles to reach the gates. Cuthbert had left the tickets in the car. I told him to go back and get them. He said "Why should I have to go?". I told him he had mislead me for 6 years about his hair (or lack of it), he kept us waiting every time he vomitted, he had left the tickets and I was not going for them. I was just about to hit him when Yasmin stepped in. She told us to behave like grown ups and sent Cuthbert to the car for the tickets. I thanked Yasmin and had a little cry. I do not like to be upset. Yasmin is a lovely person. When Cuthbert returned he apologised for being unreasonable.
First ride was the Hulk rollering coaster with Yasmin which was amazing. Next I took Cuthbert on the Doom viewing tower. It was different to the one at Seaworld. We figured the harness was because this viewing tower was not enclosed. Cuthbert nearly died when we were shot up into the air like a rocket. I got a fright but after the initial shock I laughed. Cuthbert vomitted and told me he had lost his hair again. His hair met us at the bottom. We collected it and left promptly. The hired help had vomit on his shoulder! Did not bother with the spiderman ride as we are Batman fans. Headed to Dr Seuss place. Yasmin took the children on the carousel and fish thing. I did not want to get wet. While we waited for them to come off I glued Cuthberts toupee onto his head to save me from further embarrassment. We all went on Cat in the Hat. How cute. Cuthbert felt sick but he managed to control himself for once!
Next Yasmin and I went on Duelling Dragons. What a fabulous rollering coaster. I am turning into a thrill ride yankie! Onto Jurassic Park next. No queue. Amos loved the dinosaurs. I was scared, especially when one hissed "Veronica" at me. How did it know my name? At the end of the drop my hair was a mess but Cuthbert still had his attached to his head so that was good. Had a meal at the restuarant next to the drop. The children enjoyed waiting to be splashed from the boats. Had we brought some shampoo Yasmin could have washed their hair.LOL.
Next onto the Toon Lagoon place, I was disappointed with the lack of Disney characters. My children do not know these Toon persons although Cuthbert did like Betty Boon. We all went on a log thing. I put my hat on to protect my hair but it was no help. Hat and hair ruined! Went onto Popeye ring thing next. Some persons were wearing bin liners and Yasmin put on her Seaworld pancho but they would irritate my skin and I do have my reputation to consider. I complained when I exited this ride. My clothes were ruined. I looked like I had been swimming. Cuthbert looked like he had done a full cycle in a washing machine! The hired help informed me there were warning signs about getting wet. I said I hadn`t noticed the signs and they should have a loud speaker warning. Dixie told the hired help that I read the signs to her. WE LEFT!! I honestly did not expect more than a splash. There was no need for them to get you that wet. Squelched all the way back to the car.
Once at the hotel I went to the hairdresser. Bless, I look gorgeous again. Cuthbert went to the bar and the hired help poured him a whisky without Cuthbert asking for it. That is what I call service. Yasmin took the children to the Magic Kingdom. Cuthbert and I went for a walk on the Grand Floridian Beach. I showed him the wedding pavillion and asked if he would like to renew our wedding vows. He declined saying he would never ever forget the day he married me. How sweet!
Tomorrow : Swimming with sharks at Typhoon Lagoon and then we will be going to Downtown Disneyworld.
Love always
Veronica
DAY 10
Arrived early at Typhoon Lagoon and found the perfect spot for a princess and her family and of course Cuthbert! Went straight to the wave pool with Cuthbert. A big wave smashed right into him and he disappeared under the water. I laughed heartily until he surfaced. His blasted hair had been dislodged with the force of the wave. What was worse this time is he had remains from the glue stuck to his head. He retrieved his toupee and headed for First Aid. I went to swim with the little sharks. Unfortunately I could not participate. You never know who has had the little mouth pieces in their mouths. I took Dixie to the floating doughnut place because I had enjoyed it so much at Blizzard Beach. I thought I saw a snake and ran off screaming in fear for my safety. Bless the hired help who was kind enough to follow me and return Dixie to the care of her loving family. We stayed here for most of the day. Left when I could no longer bear the persons laughing at my designer swim cap. I thought it suited Cuthbert.
On return to the hotel I went to the hairdressers. Before I left I gathered some hair cuttings and popped them into my bag. When I returned to the room I glued the hair onto my designer swim cap and then presented Cuthbert with his new temporary toupee. We shall purchase him a new one tomorrow. We had hired a babysitter for the evening and when she arrived Cuthbert, Yasmin and myself got a taxi to Downtown Disneyworld. Looked for the person from these boards who works in World of Disney. Did not find her. I thought she might have recognised me. Spent $5000 in here. Realised I had not purchased anything for the children so I quickly chose them a pen. They are fancy shaped like Mickey Mouse. I also got them novelty cups and some sweets.
Went over to Pleasure Ireland. Cuthbert tried in whisky in every bar. I tried everything. I celebrated the new year at midnight which was strange seeing as how it is June but never mind it was fun. Cuthbert was very confused he kept mumbling about not getting a Christmas present. I danced heartily and had a little snog with Cuthbert. Imagine my surprise when I was tapped on the shoulder by Cuthbert. I was snogging a young man called Chuck. Cuthbert told me he was returning to the hotel. I tod him I would return later with Yasmin. Chuck offered to buy me a drink so I asked him for a wedgie. I was shocked to say the least. No wonder the hired help at my Deluxe hotel bar asked me to leave when I ordered one there!!!!!! Chuck is a cowboy from Texas. What a cool job. I gave him my telephone number when we said goodbye.
Returned to hotel at 4am. Cuthbert was still up waiting for us. He got confused with the money and gave the babysitter person a $500 tip. I was going to kill him but Yasmin said I should go to sleep instead. Do not remember what happened next as I passed out.
Tomorrow : Family fun at the Magic Kingdom of happiness and magical moments.
Love always
Veronica
Day 5
Phoned hospital about Cuthbert after breakfast.Told him we were going to Blizzard Beach and if he was up to it he should meet us at the kiddie place.I was totally fascinated at the fact the snow did not melt in the heat.America is a wonderful place!
Left Yasmin at Catchachildy creek and I went off exploring.Took chairlift to Summit Pelmet and stood in a queue to see what everyone was looking at.Next thing I know I am flying down a very steep slope at a rate of knots! What a thrill!Went to the creek place and tried to get into doughnut to float.Eventually a person held my doughnut and his friend lifted me onto it.How relaxing was this floating place although they could have missed out the ice cave area.I was chilled to the bone and developed hair issues!After floating round three times I asked a person to help me out my doughnut.He tipped it over!I was not amused.Went to check on Yasmin and the children.They weren't there but Cuthbert was.Told him that Summit Pelmet would revive him but he refused,still not well,bless,didn't want anymore vomitting-forgot face cloth and towel.
Left note for Yasmin and returned to hotel.Got hair repaired while Cuthbert went for a snooze.After changing got into the car and drove to MGM.I drove,don't trust Cuthbert in his present state.
Heade straight for Tower of Terror via Muoppet 3dimensional.Cuthbert laughed heartily so I knew he was fine.The hired help at the Hollywood Terror Hotel were a bit scary.When we got into the elevator Cuthbert sat in the middle seat.Felt safer with a seat belt!Ride was fine until what I thought was a rat landed on my head.Turned to tell Cuthbert and discovered he was BALD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I fainted.I have known him for 6 years and never knew he wore a toupee.The hired help managed to retrieve it from the elevator where I had thrown it.After I had come round we stuck his toupee back on with chewing gum and headed for the Rocky Rollering Coaster.Cuthbert thought he'd had a face lift in this picture until he realised it wasn't him sitting next to me!He was sat in front,don't trust his stomach enough to sit beside him.By chance Yasmin appeared with a stroller and the children so I hopped straight in while Cuthbert went to be sick in the gents toilets.Yasmin told me she wanted to go to Pleasure Ireland.I tried to put her off telling her that Pinocchio went there and they turn children into donkeys.She went anyway and left the children.Cuthbert carried Dixie on his back and pushed myself and Amos in the stroller.
Went to the India Jones show it was good.When they asked for volunteers I jumped up and down shouting " my name is Veronica and I'm from Devon,England and I'm staying at the Grand Floridian Resort"but I was not chosen.I flung my cup down in disgust and the juice went all over the three persons in front.We moved promptly to the back.
Took children to Star Tours.Amos just met the height restrictions.What a great ride.Myself and the children loved it.Cuthbert tried banging on the door halfway through to get off but he couldn't reach it.He managed to vomit in a bag he found.I told the persons the snow white dress would be fine after a wash.She was not happy so I gave her the money to purchase a new one.She gave me the vomit one so I will ask Yasmin to wash it tomorrow.Dixie can wear it and if it doesn't fit her then it will fit Amos.

We went on Kong King next. We were not scared. Cuthbert looks worse than this in the morning! Earthquake was rather strange. When the ground opened why did the water come from above?

His hair looked like a wet rag but I insisted he wear it until we purchased a hat. Next ride was Hannah Barbara. Cuthbert took Amos to the stationary seats. Dixie sat with myself and Yasmin. This was an excellent ride. Best part was knocking down Wilma Flintstone. Cuthbert vomitted in the gents after this ride too.

I do not like to be upset. Yasmin is a lovely person. When Cuthbert returned he apologised for being unreasonable.
First ride was the Hulk rollering coaster with Yasmin which was amazing. Next I took Cuthbert on the Doom viewing tower. It was different to the one at Seaworld. We figured the harness was because this viewing tower was not enclosed. Cuthbert nearly died when we were shot up into the air like a rocket. I got a fright but after the initial shock I laughed. Cuthbert vomitted and told me he had lost his hair again. His hair met us at the bottom. We collected it and left promptly. The hired help had vomit on his shoulder! Did not bother with the spiderman ride as we are Batman fans. Headed to Dr Seuss place. Yasmin took the children on the carousel and fish thing. I did not want to get wet. While we waited for them to come off I glued Cuthberts toupee onto his head to save me from further embarrassment. We all went on Cat in the Hat. How cute. Cuthbert felt sick but he managed to control himself for once!
Next Yasmin and I went on Duelling Dragons. What a fabulous rollering coaster. I am turning into a thrill ride yankie! Onto Jurassic Park next. No queue. Amos loved the dinosaurs. I was scared, especially when one hissed "Veronica" at me. How did it know my name? At the end of the drop my hair was a mess but Cuthbert still had his attached to his head so that was good. Had a meal at the restuarant next to the drop. The children enjoyed waiting to be splashed from the boats. Had we brought some shampoo Yasmin could have washed their hair.LOL.
Next onto the Toon Lagoon place, I was disappointed with the lack of Disney characters. My children do not know these Toon persons although Cuthbert did like Betty Boon. We all went on a log thing. I put my hat on to protect my hair but it was no help. Hat and hair ruined! Went onto Popeye ring thing next. Some persons were wearing bin liners and Yasmin put on her Seaworld pancho but they would irritate my skin and I do have my reputation to consider. I complained when I exited this ride. My clothes were ruined. I looked like I had been swimming. Cuthbert looked like he had done a full cycle in a washing machine! The hired help informed me there were warning signs about getting wet. I said I hadn`t noticed the signs and they should have a loud speaker warning. Dixie told the hired help that I read the signs to her. WE LEFT!! I honestly did not expect more than a splash. There was no need for them to get you that wet. Squelched all the way back to the car.
Once at the hotel I went to the hairdresser. Bless, I look gorgeous again. Cuthbert went to the bar and the hired help poured him a whisky without Cuthbert asking for it. That is what I call service. Yasmin took the children to the Magic Kingdom. Cuthbert and I went for a walk on the Grand Floridian Beach. I showed him the wedding pavillion and asked if he would like to renew our wedding vows. He declined saying he would never ever forget the day he married me. How sweet!

A big wave smashed right into him and he disappeared under the water. I laughed heartily until he surfaced. His blasted hair had been dislodged with the force of the wave. What was worse this time is he had remains from the glue stuck to his head. He retrieved his toupee and headed for First Aid. I went to swim with the little sharks. Unfortunately I could not participate. You never know who has had the little mouth pieces in their mouths. I took Dixie to the floating doughnut place because I had enjoyed it so much at Blizzard Beach. I thought I saw a snake and ran off screaming in fear for my safety. Bless the hired help who was kind enough to follow me and return Dixie to the care of her loving family. We stayed here for most of the day. Left when I could no longer bear the persons laughing at my designer swim cap. I thought it suited Cuthbert.
On return to the hotel I went to the hairdressers. Before I left I gathered some hair cuttings and popped them into my bag. When I returned to the room I glued the hair onto my designer swim cap and then presented Cuthbert with his new temporary toupee. We shall purchase him a new one tomorrow. We had hired a babysitter for the evening and when she arrived Cuthbert, Yasmin and myself got a taxi to Downtown Disneyworld. Looked for the person from these boards who works in World of Disney. Did not find her. I thought she might have recognised me. Spent $5000 in here. Realised I had not purchased anything for the children so I quickly chose them a pen. They are fancy shaped like Mickey Mouse. I also got them novelty cups and some sweets.
Went over to Pleasure Ireland. Cuthbert tried in whisky in every bar. I tried everything. I celebrated the new year at midnight which was strange seeing as how it is June but never mind it was fun. Cuthbert was very confused he kept mumbling about not getting a Christmas present. I danced heartily and had a little snog with Cuthbert. Imagine my surprise when I was tapped on the shoulder by Cuthbert. I was snogging a young man called Chuck. Cuthbert told me he was returning to the hotel. I tod him I would return later with Yasmin. Chuck offered to buy me a drink so I asked him for a wedgie. I was shocked to say the least. No wonder the hired help at my Deluxe hotel bar asked me to leave when I ordered one there!!!!!! Chuck is a cowboy from Texas. What a cool job. I gave him my telephone number when we said goodbye.
Returned to hotel at 4am. Cuthbert was still up waiting for us. He got confused with the money and gave the babysitter person a $500 tip. I was going to kill him but Yasmin said I should go to sleep instead. Do not remember what happened next as I passed out.
Tomorrow : Family fun at the Magic Kingdom of happiness and magical moments.
Love always
