Part 18: Day +1: Thoughts & Feelings
We had an amazing time in Orlando but there are so many things that will change next time
No large group - Gavin & I found any time spent with the rest of our party difficult. The 3 kids had demands prone to children that we werent used to and the general time keeping of them all was ridiculous to the point of rude and disrespectful.
Fireworks Next time I will see one display with no restrictions or moaning from DF.
Ear Infection Despite been incredibly painful I hadnt realised how much it impacted on my holiday until I wrote my reports. At first it was a couple of hours to go the hospital but then it became a full day at home resting. Obviously I cant dictate my health next trip but I really really hope I am never that ill again. I have been to the hospital in Goole twice and my GP twice since returning home and touch wood, six weeks later it seems to have cleared up.
Water-parks Fingers crossed no ill health I will be going to all 3 water parks wether DF can swim or not!
Weather - It was sooo hot all of the time. It wasnt our decision to go in Aug' Gavins dad had sorted the dates and even though mid-Aug' saw fewer crowds the weather is enough to put us off summer, unless it is Aug' or nothing.
Photo's - We took loads of photo's and camcorder footage the first week but this petered off during the second. I will keep it up all holiday next time as we have decided only to take still's and leave the camcorder behind.
We booked for Pop Century in Sept/Oct '06 a week after we returned. I am always up for WDW but I was very surprised DF had enjoyed himself enough to return.
I was very pleased with how much Gavin tried despite been a big girls blouse most of the time! He loved Spiderman and Test Track and was brave enough to try the Mummy. He was petrified on Rip-Saw Falls because of the huge drop but went on all the water rides (he closed his eyes for all except one but he still rode!)
On-Site in 357 days, Will we ever go off-site again?

It was nice to hear all about the other parks. The only other park I have been to there was Sea World, and that was 20 years ago!! Guess it's time to check other parks out! 
). Also I finally figured out that "tea" meant actual food, not just a cup of tea, am I right?
