Hey everyone....gosh not a lot of time to write lately. It's been busy and I've been sick and tired. Maya and I are feeling much better today thank God. I will post the rest of Magic Kingdom pictures from day 2 some other time but I did want to get these on as soon as possible. Take care everyone and God bless.... read more

We had a great time today at Magic Kingdom however we cut it short because Maya is not feeling so well. I'm pretty sick myself although Maya and I have 2 totally different illnesses. I've got an annoying cough and really congested. Maya is feeling nauseous and tired. She feels better in air-conditioned places. It's pretty hot here during the day but today was somewhat humid and very gray. At least it didn't rain. Even with us being sick we're still trying to make the most of the day. We're still having fun. We tried to squeeze what we could manage into Magic Kingdom in the very few hours we were there on day 1 so we could focus on some exciting things we've got planned for day 2. I know where to find Ariel the ... read more

Well we ended up at MGM Studios today instead of Magic Kingdom. My battery level on the camera was showing only half full for some reason in the morning so I didn't even want to attempt going to Magic Kingdom with the chance of the battery dying completely so I didn't risk it. MGM was pretty good. Not really all that interesting for Maya though except for the character sightings, some of the stunt shows and the Star Tours space ride. We also took a mini art class and learned how to draw Stitch from Lilo & Stitch and she liked that a lot but other than that, she was okay with going back to Kissimmee a little earlier to get some dinner, do some shopping and hang out back at the hotel. She is super ... read more

It was another open till close day but this time at Animal Kingdom. Wow so much to do. My Maya is Miss Animal Lover so she definitely had a great time. There was a parade of the Disney characters, we went on a bunch of rides, played games at a carnival, went on safari's and watched The Life of a Bug 3D movie...what a laugh that was with Maya. She was trying to grab at them all the time. Some parts were scary....but she was so brave and stuck it out. LOL Edyta...Once my hunnies are down for the night it's MY TIME. I do what I want to do and it's no different than home. I always stay up much later than they do for some me time. I love sharing Disney with all of ... read more

I know; I know! I’m the curmudgeon who has been lukewarm on Disney! But now I’m eating crow and it’s so nice to be wrong! We had a few days between wearing flip flops at Cocoa Beach and cowboy boots at Ocala and Orlando was too close to avoid. We had a blast. Despite that we visited the cute mouse’s home during President’s Week - which means that ¼ of all American families with children under 12 were checked in at the same destination, all of our fears about crowd issues just didn’t surface. These “Worlds” are ready and staffed and supplied for the onslaught of the stroller brigades. We avoided traffic by taking a free shuttle bus from our RV park to Epcot. Then we took a Disney bus to MGM studios. We saved Fantasmic ... read more

It was a very HOT! and gorgeous day today! Perfect for Epcot. What an amazing start to the Disney Parks. We got there super early and left at dark. We did everything at Epcot except "Soarin" a pretty major ride to miss but we just couldn't fit it in. But other than that we had Epcot covered. This beginning of Disney has Maya all up in fantasy land. She's really loving it and I love nothing more than watching her through all of this. Her squeals of laughter and her facial expressions have me in a world of my own. She was running and jumping all over the place in search of her favourite Disney characters. We could barely keep up. And the way that the Disney characters played with her and tickled her I believe ... read more

Fort Summit Camping Resort bills itself as the best camping in the worlds - "worlds" meaning the various world of Disney. We haven't tried any of the other RV parks in the Disney/Orlando area, but this really is nice. AND they offer free shuttle service twice a day to the Magic Kingdom. There are lots more families here than in the parks we have been staying in - one reason could be that we are here during the President's Week vacation. There's a nice pool, store, and little fireplaces (we would never think of camping without having a bon fire until we started RVing - most parks do not allow fires). Iit is a convenient walk to several restaurants; but we had a cookout and ate dinner at the picnic table - always a treat in ... read more

What a disaster this morning. We woke up this morning with 10cm of fresh snow on the ground in Milton and it was still coming down. The drive down to Kathy's was horrendous. What normally takes us 15 minutes took over an hour and a half. The traffic was unreal. Of course we didn't make it to the airport the two hours before departure time like we were supposed to. But thanks to Kathy's awesome agressive driving maneuvers she got us there 50 minutes before departure. The check in line was looooong but someone in line told us that there was an agent out there looking for Orlando passengers so we got to bypass the check in line....which we definitely needed considering we still had to go through Customs. Thanks Kathy. You saved us. Thanks for ... read more
