I like Disney World. It has got to be one of the most fun and exciting places I've been to. My uncle says that everyone gets to be a kid at Disney, and that's why they have to keep it so fun to visit. Anyway we got to go to olando this month and let me tell you I could sleep forever after this trip. We got to stay at a really nice hotel called the Quality Suites Maingate which is in Kissimee (which sounds like what my Mom would say when she tucked me in when I was a kid). Their rooms were huge, about as big as uncle Joshs' apartment back home, and it was right near all the parks we were going to visit so it was really easy to ju... read more

I started to get a scratchy throat last night, and today I'm kind of dragging. Not to miss out on any of the things I had planned on cramming into this week, I downed a few aspirin and made my way to MGM Studios to knock out some of the out-of-the-way attractions that I have been missing. I by-passed our normal thrill rides for leisurely strolls through the walk-through attractions and entertaining shows. After all, I had already done Rockin' Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror the weekend before with the fam, and this day was about ME! Early in the day, I received news from Hilary that Jeff's "Dexter" book series had been picked up by Showtime. Woohoo! I called everyone back in Cape Coral to let them know. Seems they were just as thrilled ... read more

I found my car at Epcot this morning--woohoo! I also took a look at Wilderness Lodge today, and it was was really nice. There were actually people in the pool there, even though the temperature was in the 50's. Freaks. I spent the rest of the day at Animal Kingdom where it was an Extra Magic Hours night until 8:00 PM, so I got to stay after the park closed at 5:00 for anyone who wasn't staying at a Disney resort. I didn't ride one ride the whole day! I talked to Trey and Mallory and they both agreed they would have hated it. So what did I do all day? Well, I posed as a Disney photographer (kind of--just a nice person) and took a TON of pictures of people so couples and families could ... read more

Trey, Mallory, Alynn and I went to Animal Kingdom and MGM Studios today. At Animal Kingdom, we got to see the newest member of the Disney cast--a one-month-old elephant! She was adorable, but a little shy of the vehicles on Kilamanjaro Safari. At MGM, we rode Rockin' Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror (or course) and ate lunch at the Brown Durby. I think I could eat their Cobb salad every day of the week and not get sick of it. Mallory and Alynn got Disney costumes for their two American Girl dolls. After the parks closed, Marisol and Jessica went to Planet Hollywood with us for dinner, where they proceeded to wreck havok. Both are grounded and lost TV priviledges until their mothers (Mallory and Alynn) decide they have learned their lesson. ... read more

As of today, I am no longer burdened by an AccuData's non-compete agreement, under which I have been stifled for the past two years. WOOHOO! To celebrate, I'm going to Disney World!!!... read more
