"You're Going to Disney?? Again??

Yes, we did. Again. Blame it on hubby, although I have stopped fighting him whenever he goes on one of his *I can't take my life anymore must plan a Disney trip* tangents. Three trips in four months, two of which involved driving 18 hours, each way. So, a quick recap of all trips in one, easy-to-read summary:


The obligatory medical crisis was had by none other than me, during trip two. An allergic reaction gone haywire necessitated a midnight call to 911 and a fun few hours in the ER. I must say, the EMT's and medical staff down there are just as nice as they are in Disney proper.


Trip one saw us having Christmas dinner at Shula's steakhouse in the Dolphin, hubby's favorite restaurant, where the now-infamous Battle of the French Fries occured. Son is extremely obsessive about his food, and will not eat anything on their menu. So fries were requested, and were denied. Father-in-law jumped into the fray and won the fries, as he wins most battles with service people. Shy, he is not.



Umm...hubby? There is no bus service from Fort Wilderness to the Magic Kingdom, and our waiting for 30 minutes for a bus did not change this fact.


Between all three trips, we stayed at the Wilderness Lodge, Fort Wilderness, the Boardwalk (both the Inn and the Villas), Bay Lake Tower and a private rented home. We are tired of moving.

The service at the ESPN Zone at the Boardwalk was terrible. So was the Mets game we watched there during trip three.

Sitting in the private lounge atop Bay Lake Towers during trip three, sipping a cocktail while the fireworks explode above us was definitely a highlight.

So was Jico, the restaurant at Animal Kingdom Lodge (trip three). Great steaks! Great zebratinis! Lots o' alcohol in them drinks...

The Osborne lights at Hollywood studios at Christmas (trip one) were amazing.

Beautiful daughter has now flown by herself for the first time during trip one. Brave girl!

Absolute best moment of all trips: The moment we drove onto the grounds, first day of trip three, our amazing son points at direction sign and says "Hollywood Studios!" A bit garbled due to his articulation issues but omg!! Unprompted, spontaneous speech! We nearly cried. This is why we go to Disney so often.

Till next time!
