Disney in a Nutshell

Sunday - We arrive at the resort at 9:45 a.m. Our room will not be ready until 4:00 p.m. We put on our suits and spend the day at the pool. I forget sunscreen and end up with second-degree burns on my back.

Monday - Magic Kingdom. Awesome. Short lines, light crowds.

Tuesday - Sarah wakes up with stomach flu. We spend the day in the villa. Sarah is a trooper and the rest of us are pounding the Airborne to try and stay well.

Wednesday - Caleb's birthday breakfast at Chef Mickey. They stick us waaaaay in the back and our waitress completely ignores us. They do nothing for Caleb's birthday even though we remind them twice. Its sucks. MGM in the afternoon. Again, crowds are light, lines are short. MGM is not one of my favorite parks. Rock N Roller Coaster is the big hit of the day. We return to the resort and spend the rest of the afternoon/evening swimming.

Thursday - Caleb wakes up with a sinus infection. I stay at the villa with him while everyone else goes to EPCOT. I love EPCOT, but I love Caleb more.

Friday - Shopping at Downtown Disney in the morning. Swimming until 3:00 and then back to the Magic Kingdom until 9:00.

Saturday - We leave the resort at 8:30, and just before Lake City Florida they shut down I-75 because of the fires. We sit, parked on 75 for an hour and then they detour us two hours out of our way. We pick up 75 again in Valdosta, GA and we're on our way home. We got in around 4:30 a.m. Sunday (not bad for being sent so far out of our way) and crash.

Sunday - We grocery shop to replenish food, unpack, sleep, etc.

Monday - Back to the grind.
