Disney World Update (lost and found)

(I wrote this while we were at Disney World still, 1/18/2013, but our spotty wifi caused the upload to not work. Just found it again so I thought I might as well post it.)

It's hard to believe that the first part of our trip has come and gone. We're on our fourth wonderful night here at the Magic Kingdom and we are having so much fun. The real world is a blur, which is enjoyable, and the world of Disney is a joy. The most cool part has been spending time with our Godchildren; watching them continue through their lists of "firsts" is inspiring. While mealtimes can either be easy-peasy or just plain interesting, most of the other times have been easy to conquer, mostly because their parents are absolute pros at doing Disney with infants (and child-rearing in general).

So far, we've done three parks: Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Disney's Hollywood Studios. The latter was the subject of today's fun, complete with a 9 a.m. rope drop (after taking a boat from our hotel, Disney's Yacht Club). The park was rather crowded, as all parks have been, mostly from tour groups of teenagers from Brazil and families from Columbia. The frustrating part of that is since they may not understand the narrator they just talk over it and make their own added fun and soundtrack to the ride. Not cool. Although, riding a ride in a vacuum isn't fun either. Well, I lie...if it's a ride like Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, Maelstrom, or other favorites...shhh, keep your Portuguese to yourself. If it's a ride that makes you scream, then scream away in Portuguese!

We're off to dinner in Canada at Le Cellier! Then, EPCOT World Showcase is open late tonight followed by an early morning at Animal Kingdom. I'm excited to go to a new park! I'm also excited to be done with the rain/mist that has dampened the past two days. And the cold weather. It's been brisk and even hit low 40s this morning. That's wild, considering it has been in the mid-80s during the days before that.

Tschüß!
