We all had a great time, with six days at the Disney theme parks (there are now four of them – The Magic Kingdom, MGM Studios, The Animal Kingdom, and EPCOT) as well as the two Disney water parks (Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon).
I felt fine the whole time we were there, even though we were at times running around like crazy people trying to balance our two sons (and our) interests. Despite my best intentions, I only went to the hotel gym once. And we only once had the one hour of "quiet time" for the four of us, that we had planned on.
We got home later than we planned because of weather delays in New York yesterday and this morning. We arrived back at our house at 2 AM this morning (Sunday), all of us pretty knocked out.
Saturday had begun with a quick trip to the Magic Kingdom in the morning (surprisingly sparse attendance for a weekend morning), then to nearby Typhoon Lagoon for two hours plus in the sun, and then finishing with EPCOT, for visits to the Japan, France, and United Kingdom pavilions. (Important hint: if you are ever at EPCOT and choosing between eating at the France Pavilion, or fish and chips at the UK pavilion, go to France. We let Joe and Tim make the decision for fish and chips. How dumb was that?)
We then drove directly to the airport, where everything was delayed due to rain in NYC. So we ended up having a 19 hour day. I will post more on our trip in the next day or two.
