but I surprised her with 2 nights at Wilderness Lodge
Did I mention that I like surprises too?
Ya know, I'll be in Toronto in June, so if you want to surprise me with a quick trip and a stay at WL.....
I didn't actually take notes when we were there
Wow. You did really,
really well for no notes!
If it'd been me (I take notes), my TR would be like this:
"Hi! And welcome to my TR! I had four fantastic days in WDW! So let's get started!
Day 1.
Uh....
Ummm...
Pretty sure I went to a park.... uh...
Yeah....
So thanks for reading!!"
BTW...driving in FL scares the crap out of me lol. I live in Toronto and have no problem driving in the city or traffic...but I-95...yikes.
And this from someone who probably drives the 401 all the time.
As we approached the famous sign I asked my DD to take a picture since I was driving...but sadly...we ended up with a picture of the glove compartment
I had no interest in touching our car again while at Disney.
I totally get this.
While I have a pretty good sense of direction... I don't want to use it!
Just shuttle me around so I don't have to even think about it!
"we are at freakin' DISNEY and you want to play at an arcade???"
Could be worse. Soon she'll only want to have her nose in her smart phone.
Sadly though, I didn't have room left for ice cream which was the whole reason I wanted to go there lol.
Well, that settles it. Now you
have to go back!
(That's high on my Disney bucket list... going to Beaches & Cream.)
Anyway...after a bit DD started complaining...it's too long, I'm too hot, when will we get there...and I kept saying "only a bit farther"
A familiar refrain.
Yeah...that's when I start questionning my own sanity...when dragging my kid out of bed to get to a theme park before the sun is up....YOU guys all "get" it...but well...a lot of people thought we were nuts.
Oh, I get it.
Been there, done that.
But if you prefer, just to mix things up a bit, I'd be more than happy to think you were nuts.
We opted for Winnie the Pooh as our first ride.
No way! That's the first ride I went on when I did my solo trip last February! Surprised every one of my readers.
Since it was nearby, I decided I would go to Cheshire Cafe and have the cupcake cup!
Never heard of that... looks so good.
But warning - it is only good if you, like me, think that the best part of cake is the icing
Well that settles it.
I've just put it on my Disney to-do list.
Finally we got to my all time fave ride, Haunted Mansion.
Merely the best ride mankind has ever created.
Uh.... no.
pkondz does not do IASW.
You feel pretty awesome about the whole thing when you have accomplished all your favourite rides by 11:00am.
After lunch, we took a look around the rest of the castle and just loved all the decor.
Isn't it great?
I've mentioned that the ambiance alone makes it worth dining there at least once.
Yes, part of me was tempted to try to push on since we did only have the one day...but...common sense prevailed
Good for you.
You can get so caught up in everything that you forget just how tired you really are.
I did consider one of the giant in a pineapple drinks...but decided I didn't want to be too full for our night time park-ing.
Or too tipsy.
I considered getting a Dole Whip just because "gasp" I've never actually tried one!!
We decided to go back to check out the line for Haunted Mansion. Luckily it was short so we did that - a couple of times.
Nice.
That was a fun little trip!
Thanks for sharing it with us!
