It's a very recent development, but I thought of you as soon as you mentioned about a TR meet up! I can't imagine making such a short trip all the way from Germany when you're already going to be so busy...but I hope you can squeeze it in anyway! I'll probably also be down and back for the weekend, but that seems a lot more manageable from Canada.
Well, Alex was trying to send me to Orlando to run in the Wine and Dine Half Marathon so that I could get the special Castle to Chateau medal. I told him it would be the same timeframe...I just might have to turn around and fly back to Florida a few weeks later.
Oh man! It hasn't been quite that bad here. The temperatures are actually not bad at all, but with the humidity, we're dying here! Apparently we're in what they're calling "Atmospheric Gridlock" where the humidity just isn't breaking for a record number of hours. This was this morning:
Of course this is also the week that our AC has decided to quit, and we have the technician coming HOPEFULLY today *fingers crossed*
Feels like 93!
That humidity is awful! My word, you must be miserable this week. And it has to be a little stressful, since you really can't be dealing with a constant heat like that. Did the technician come and fix your unit?
Oh my goodness, what a sweetie! I love his Disney enthusiasm. He was obviously so proud to be in the know and to share it with you.
Landon loves Disney as much as all of us, and I can't wait to see how his love of the parks grows and evolves over the years.
Aww man, long day! It's good that you managed to push through so the kids could have a full Disney day, but I think I'd be in a similar tired frame of mind by this point, too. I've already reached the point where I need some downtime if I'm going all day at a park.
After that busy MK day, Alex and I agreed that the next time we go to Disney, it will be for an actual trip where we can break up the days. No more of this one day nonsense!
I love that I was also about to send you over to our PTR but
@MeghanEmily beat me to it! I even remember thinking - I really need to invite Alicia and Rita, but I don't know if they'd be available!
Honestly, the only thing holding me back from booking a flight is the not knowing when we will have to leave Germany. Just my luck I'll fly back home on a Monday and then have to turn around fly back to the states the following Friday.
That being said, though, if there's a way for me to do it, I'm definitely going to!
That's so cute! Did the sword come back before you guys left DLP?
It did!
I can see myself doing this when I bring my friend's kids to Disney for the first time. I still measure their 3.5 yr old every time I see her, because I have vowed not to bring them until she's tall enough for Radiator Springs Racers to prevent her from getting upset when she can't do it (she would be the opposite of Evie on rides)
Is she close yet? I completely understand you wanting to wait until she's tall enough to ride RSR.
Seriously! Best disney buddy ever!
Haha, you know this from experience!
Having no A/C must be so tough! Stay cool!
Aww Evie's excitment over the Barnstormer- her before face is so happy! Poor kid! But I can imagine how funny it was for you and Alex
And then only to be tortured again on the Tea Cups!
Landon telling you all about SDMT is so sweet! I'm sorry it ended up making you motion sick
It's been a long week; I keep telling myself I'm prepping my body for a future Disney trip. Getting used to the hot temps!
And even with the high of 96 yesterday
eek
I'll still take the hot over the cold any day. I'm terrified Alex is going to have to move us to a base sees a lot of snow...come on Hawaii!
Landon was cracking me up with his 7DMT commentary. I wanted to pretend I hadn't gone on a bunch of rides just so I could hear his take on them.
Oh, wow, I hope it cools off for you soon!
Love the update. Sorry that Evie didn't care for the Barnstormer. I videotaped Izzy's first ride and she was smiling up to the top of the hill, then looked terrified, but ended up loving it (and she's still a fan of thrill rides).
Glad that Landon loved 7DMT, but sorry that you felt motion sick.
Looking forward to hearing how the day finished up.
We're hoping by the weekend it'll rain and cool off some. Nobody is finding the energy to do much in this heat!
I imagine Barnstormer is a little more intense than most young kids are expecting. Glad Izzy ended up enjoying the ride and it was the start of her coaster love.
I love all the pixie dust they got in their hair, poor Evie on Barnstormer though. I'm totally with her, I hate coaster rides!
It was so much glitter!!
They both loved it, though, so I can't complain too much. And I'm pretty sure I've finally gotten it all out of the house.
