We're Back

We're back from Disney World and all of our adventures. We had a wonderful time. Lots of cool rides and shows. It was great seeing everything through Tyler and Emily's eyes. What a thrill for a grandmother! We took a shuttle from our hotel every day to EPCOT and then either a Disney bus or the Monorail to the park we were going to for the day. The last day it rained all day, especially when we were standing out in the open waiting for the shuttle to pick us up. One of the funniest things to happen was one night on the shuttle we all thought the driver was taking us to the wrong hotel. Shan's mom kept asking Dave how much longer he was going to let the driver go since we were going to the wrong hotel. We did the whole thing about Gilligan's Island and the three hour tour. Turns out the driver knew exactly what he was doing and the hotel he passed that we thought was ours, was in fact, not our hotel. But, we all had a great laugh. Going to Disney World really requires two days in each park, probably except for Disney Studios - that you can do in one day. But there is so much to do and see in the other parks, and with the long lines and how far you have to walk from one thing to another you need two days. I loved seeing Tyler's face after his roller coaster ride and Emily in Magic Kingdom when we went to Cinderella's castle and she had her hair, make-up and nails done. She said that day was the best day of her life! When she was done they put a sash on her that said PRINCESS. For the rest of the day all the park employees we saw called her princess and asked how her day was. Such attention to detail was one of the things that impressed me the most. Nothing is too insignificant to let go - they work down to the smallest detail and it really makes a difference in your visit and what you experience. If you ever have the chance to go - do it. Allow for lots of time, wear comfortable shoes, and drink lots of water! My wish for you is to have a great a time as we did!

And thank you Tyler and Emily. You could not find two better kids in the world. The were wonderful to travel with (we drove and it is a l o n g drive!) They had a great time in the parks and never complained about all the walking and waiting you have to do! They are the best!!
