I wish I had known this sooner. We did EP for half of today and all of yesterday so now we're done with it for this trip. It's something to keep in mind for the next time we do Disney though I'm guessing that will be a while. Tomorrow is Magic Kingdom and then Thursday is likely MK part of the day and whatever else the kids want to do.




I survived my first solo day with the kids. Middle child did much better than the last trip. There was a little grumbling at times, but no embarrassing meltdowns, so that was cool. Youngest made up for it though. In his defense, he hurt his toe at the waterpark on Saturday. And he has a bit of a cold. And he refused to eat breakfast so he was hungry. And then the sun came out and he was too hot. Later a few stray raindrops fell and that freaked him out. But all-in-all, things actually went pretty well. Youngest is finally willing to do more rides so that makes it a lot easier. I'm hoping I'll finally get him on Spider-Man and Transformers when we go to The dark side. Speaking of, I'm having second thoughts about Friday looking at the weather report. We may wait to do Universal until next week. Weather has been great so far though. Hot, but not crazy hot. This morning was actually remarkably comfortable.




I was at Epcot all day on Sunday too. It was far more crowded than I'm used to seeing it, but I had never been during October before this trip.

Have you been on transformers before? It's so loud! It's a great ride, just if its the one with sensory problems fair warning. I'm not sure if it helps to talk to him and let him know ahead of time or not.

Well technically now it's Tuesday since it's after 12.

But when you posted this yes, it was Monday.

Definitely Tuesday now.........I'm home.........

What a Trip!

Every year I say we can't improve.......but, this year we did......however, such a laid back trip where we didn't do a whole lot of anything.........

Highlights were we just enjoyed each other's company, the parks, hotel, HHN and meeting friends (albeit quite a short meet) but was lovely meeting up with Janet and her mister for the first time........finally!! We had such a nice time.......of course always love meeting up with macraven and Metro West too on another night at HHN...........and it was lovely meeting up with Robo56 on Sunday.........we had a lovely meet and was so nice to get to know her face to face after emailing for so long........wish it had been a longer time too.........

Now to get back to normal.........quite cool here and still tired as we landed at 5am our time this morning, arrived home 9.30am.......slept for 4 hours after hugging our boy to bits......now trying to stay awake till 10.30pm. Best way for us to avoid jet lag.........

Will get a trip report going soon.........but, we have arranged our stay for next year already.........can't wait!

 

[schumigirl]

Vicki.........sorry we missed you this year...........think I got my wires crossed with a few things this year.........

Strongwater Tavern was fabulous! We went twice over our our stay..........Cocktails were strong, really strong........second time I stuck to wine........but food was so good!! We had a good selection of choices while we were there and all were lovely........service was excellent too!

We ate once in Amatista too.........again, food and service excellent! Can thoroughly recommend both places to eat.........and Sapphire Falls is so pretty........

Due to all the rain in the park, could not determine the shady areas at mib

Hit the parks / studios at noon and it was packed
Rain started around 1 and many left

Very short lines now

Glad to hear our Carole made it back home safely. I cant wait to read the trip report.

Just heard that they moved the area of Matthew's impact to include Orlando ...hope I don't have to send in the boat

Stay safe homies

How has the weather been?

How has the weather been?

The weather has been pretty good. Saturday night had terrible rain but that was the worse of it and we've been here for a week. Today had heavy rain for a bit - long enough to get shoes soaked and create lots of puddles in Magic Kingdom. But it stopped and weather turned nice.


Anyone know if the forecast means we need to do any prep for this storm? I hear it won't come here but we could still have wind/rain effects. I don't have a flashlight, batteries, much extra water, etc. At this point, it may be hard for me to get them, but not impossible. I need to decide if it's worth it to convince hubby to get those things tomorrow night, as thatwill be our first chance and I'm sure he'll say I'm over-reacting so I'm trying to figure out if I need to convince him to get those

This hurricane might screw everything up. The track needs to move more east already. It's going to be very hard to leave Thursday for Orlando. We will be smack in the middle of it. Then if I leave Friday morning I will be driving up with it. I can't leave tomorrow night as I can't leave before the storm as if it hits here where I live I need to be here. Why this week???

 

[Lynne G]

Well, rain for about 2 hours this afternoon, the even muggy than before. Still very muggy now. Hope to find Keisha at Epcot tomorrow.

Night all.

 

[macraven]

Lynne did it clear out the crowds at the motherland when the rain fell?

Had heavy rain at the studios after 1 today
Cleared out some crowds but when it stopped, all the peeps were in line for rides
TF stopped twice while I was on it
They gave us reride passes when we got off

Watching local news now and won't know until late Wednesday if heavy rains will hit Orlando

If it all heads Far East like bluer said, all should be okay then

I turned off the ac I'm my room to dry my shoes out ....

You know I am rooting for you to get a break out of this weather

On the news here now they state Friday they will know more of the path for this area for amount of rainfall

The storm is going to be past you by Friday. You should know a lot more tomorrow evening as it will be very near you.
