Part II of our Disney Vacation or How I Learned to Love the Meatball Bomber

I thought that would grab your attention. There are so many things to do down in Disney World. We just have to keep going back. The day started with a refreshing dip in the 82 degree heated pool. Considering it was 90 degrees outside the kids probably thought nothing felt better. I missed swimming. I REALLY MISSED SWIMMING.

As the kids swam, the rents walked through the campground to pick up the golf cart for the day. When they finally got to the rental spot, they decided to reserve the cart for the rest of the week. Nothing like a good 20min. walk to get your head on straight! The campground is huge!

As soon as we got situated at Fort Wilderness Campground we took off for our first destination of our trip, MGM. We hopped on the provided transportation and rode the bus over to the park.


Lights, Camera, Action was a stunt show from Paris Disney that Zachary, Papa, and I really enjoyed. It was loud, they had car chases, Herbie the Love Bug, a stuntdiver jumping off a building, and they were showing us how they do stunts in the movies. Of course Mr. Fix-it knew all the tricks. Emma spent the entire time holding her hands over her ears yelling, "Is it over?"

Passing through the streets of MGM Zach and Emma were asked to join some public workers and help them with a dilema that had arisen. The kids were more than willing to help out . Both were made Junior Public Works employees. I'm so proud! See how well they took out that gator?!





Emma wanted to see Disney's Playhouse and Zach, even though he's nine now, didn't put up a fight at all. Here, Emma is posing with Jojo and Goliath (very close to Davey and Goliath don't you think?).

Everyday the weather was beautiful, but our first day there just seemed extra special. We had been waiting so long for the trip to come and now we were finally there. We spent the whole afternoon at MGM, but finally it was time to race over to our reservations for dinner. Disney gives you exactly 2 minutes and 30 seconds past your reserved time.

After a long day we finally settled in at our table. It was a buffett style eatery and it was delicious. Both Sandra and I started our meal off with a cold refreshing beverage. Nana and Papa went the freebie route and just got a pop. Sandra also was kind enough to bring me my food. I left explicit instructions with her on how much I wanted and where it should be taken from on the serving plate.
More importantly the food could not be touching. God, I love her. I'm sure she feels the same.

The night was topped off with the famous laser show Fantasmic. It was awesome and well worth the wait! We couldn't believe how many people were at the show considering that the park didn't seem that crowded. The show consisted of a show on water and on the stage behind. It had lasers, animation clips projected onto sprays of water, fireworks, fire, and all the characters. Thanks to Jff we had great seats too!

The cabin had a seperate room for the kids & us to sleep in which was pretty cool. We could put them to bed, close the door, and join the folks for some ole' fashion sport center...oh, come on, you didn't think that we could skip that did you!

More to come concerning mother's battle with the Intergalactic bird flu. Or as we like to call it, "Woosie Girl Go Home".
