Disneyworld 2011!!

Disneyworld, 2011

Who says Disney is just for kids??  Mike and I decided to pack up the dogs and take Roams to camp in Disney's Fort Wilderness for a few days. The best laid plans.......We were on the entrance ramp to get on the interstate heading North to Orlando when.....Roamer just decided to lose all power. Not the best place for this to happen.  We waited for a tow truck for about an hour in the Miami heat...then got towed to a mechanics shop.  As soon as he unhooked us....it started right up. Go figure.  Thinking everything was fine and dandy after the engine cooled down, we took off again for our date with Mickey.  We got to West Palm when the exact same thing happened again.  Got towed in to a dealership for the second time in one day after waiting for a couple hours for the tow truck.  Our moods were pretty sunny by then. Ummm...ok, I'm lying a bit.  Guess what....Ford Dealership service is closed on Sundays. So....we camped out.  Nothing like camping in a dealership parking lot....in the hood, no less......in the pouring rain...with two dogs.  We kept saying to each other...How's your vacation so far sweetie?? Thank goodness, the lady in the dealership didn't tell us about all the drive-by shootings and gunshot holes in their cars until I talked to her the next morning about seeing a hooker being picked up right at their driveway.  Good news is....it was just some electronic module that was easy and fast to repair. We got on the road by about 10 that next morning and made it to Disney with no other delays.
     Camping in Ft. Wilderness was a lot of fun. We got a nice spot close to all the cool places.  Weather was beautiful all day but got pretty cold that first night.  We headed out to Epcot to look around and ride a ride and watch the fireworks.  We weren't dressed for the little cold spell and almost froze but it was a good time.  The next day we took of to go to Magic Kingdom.  We rode a boat across the lake to get there.  I loved seeing all the flowers and trees in full bloom.  Much different from the snowy New Jersey winter I left earlier. I love the feel of Disney because I've always loved things neat and taken care of.  There isn't a leaf out of place here.  I was actually looking for a big rock at the campground to hold something down.  After I looked around for a while, I came back and told Mike....what am I thinking?? It's Disney, there isn't an extra rock just laying around.  He said,"are you kidding? They are all numbered and in their right places."  We went over to Downtown Disney for some shopping and dinner.  It used to be called Pleasure Island a while back but they have added a whole shopping area and made it a lot more family oriented instead of the clubs and bars it used to have. Our last day was spent at Animal Kingdom. We rode a couple rides and saw lots of neat animals.  And yes, there were just as many strollers there to make me nuts.

Home sweet Roams

I've decided I am officially too old for Space Mountain now.  I used to enjoy it and ride it over and over. Now, it hurts my neck. Booooo...I hate to admit that.  Next...We will be wearing those silly looking bone colored walking shoes and fanny packs.....ummmmm no.
