Hi Gals,
So I went into my duaghters room yesterday at 2:30am, and told her she needed to get up. She looked at me as if I was nuts and asked me why. I told her we were going to Disney World. She rolled back over onto her side and said "We are NOT going to Disney" "I need some proof". So I turned around as woke her older sister up and I said,"Ellissa, is Taylor going to Disney today?" Ellissa told Taylor she was going to Disney and she just need to hurry up and get out of bed. With that Taylor laid back down and told me she needed more proof. I brought her out to the living room where I had a suitcase packed. So NOW she finally realizes she's going to Disney. After her repacking the clothes her sister got out for me, (can't have clothes your sister packed, ya know) We were on our way. She slept on the ride to the airport, the plane ride was uneventful, got our rental car from dollar, $71.00 for 3 days in a compact but I had a coupon for a free upgrade to a midsize.
We stopped at Super Target to grab some water and a Starbucks, and proceeded the short drive to Port Orleans - Riverside. We got her and our room was already ready for us, 9901. Well, it turns out it was a handicapped room with a King Bed. OK, so we were going to deal, but than I went into the bathroom area and the counter top was stained yellow, as if someone left a hot iron on it, but it was on over half the counter, so I went to the front desk and asked to have my room changed. I also told them I wanted the address for guest services, so I could right a letter to let them know that this room was not up to Disney Quality. I will let them know that I'm a
travel agent and I would not be happy if one of my clients was put in that room and that I'm sure my clients would be equally disappointed.
So anyway, after the room was all straightned out, we were off to EPCOT. We rode Spaceship Earth with Taylor thought was very cool. This weekend is all about her, and her next step surprised me. A few months ago, my dkids had some sort of deal, and the end result was that Taylor would have to get on Test Track. This is a ride, she just doesn't want to go on. Anyway, she told me we had to go on, cause she told everyone she would. Well the wait time was 80 minutes and the fast pass return time was 6 hours later, so needless to say, we didn't ride it yesterday. Taylor wanted to get a henna tattoo so we walked over to Marocco, got the tattoo and were done. We had a funnel cake in the America pavilion ( which led to me doing a survey on our way out of EPCOT) and we saw the Voices of Liberty. These singers are just wonderful. At this point it was really hot, so we decided to leave EPCOTand come back to POR to get cooled off.
Taylor wanted to go to Downtown Disney, so we did. Well, can you say RAIN! We got soaking wet, which felt quite good, but I was wearing white capri's, Hello, good thing I wasn't wearing hot pink underwear or a thong. Not that my behind would be caught dead in a thong, but. Anyway, the boat stopped at POFQ and we all had to get off since there was lightening in the area. We had to walk back to POR which mortified a family from Australia, but the captain of the boat explained to them that the boat had to stop as it is metal and metal and lightening on water don't mix to well. He also told them they could hang out at POFQ if they wanted. They choose to walk back with us.
So we did get a good nights sleep and now we are off to AK which is Taylor's favorite park for the morning.
DH says it is raining on the eastern side of PA, so he may not be working. He's a lineman, so rain and power lines don't mix well either. Well, not unless its storm work and he's making doubletime..
