Let me get that right out in the open. I am honestly not a big Disney fan. I don't have a room dedicated to Mickey Mouse (or even a shelf of knickknacks!), I don't own every Disney movie (I don't even have all the classics!), and I don't dress head to toe in red, white and black. In fact I think I only have two sweatshirts and three hats from WDW. AND YET, I absolutely love Walt Disney World in Florida. I don't know what it is about that place, but I just adore it. The details, the cleanliness, the happy and helpful people. Yeah, pretty much everything. And it doesn't hurt that the rollercoasters are pretty much as much as I can handle. So, even after taking a trip with the boys last year, I had the urge to go again this year and so back we are going. We're even staying at the same resort - Wilderness Lodge. Now I am fully convinced that part of what I love about a Disney vacation is the planning. I'm a planner/resear...
On Saturday, after three fun days at the Renaissance Hotel, we checked out and headed over to Disney's Villas at Wilderness Lodge. We stayed at the main lodge last year, in a two-room deluxe room, but this year we wanted even more space, so the villas were perfect. When we first got here, we were assigned a 5th floor room facing the bus-stops/road. It wasn't a horrible room, but I had really wanted one on a lower floor (the fifth floor balconies have solid walls in instead of slats) and facing the pool/lake. When I called to ask for a room change, they said there wasn't anything available, so I was willing to settle. The boys, including Chris, got changed for the pool, and I went back to the lobby to check on a package delivery. While I was there, I asked again about a room change (figuring that the people on the phone didn't really know anything) and was told that there WAS a room available. They arranged to move all of our bags into it and we head...
We spent the morning at Epcot and kept pretty much to my intended schedule. We ONLY went there to do The Seas with Nemo & Friends, TestTrack and FutureWorldWest. We did the World Showcase last year and it was just not fun for the boys and therefore not really fun for us either. The boys DO like the aquarium, so that was our first stop. Thomas was especially excited, but Samuel was eager to move on to TestTrack. After a pretzel snack (and watching a squirrel rummage through numerous strollers, stealing food and licking DRINK CUP LIDS) we headed over to TestTrack. Needless to say, we left no accessible food or drink in our stroller! Both boys liked designing their cars, and the ride started off well, but when it started getting bumpier and faster, Sam - who had been so excited - started saying, "I don't think this is a good idea!" Unfortunately, that was a bit late to duck out! The rest of us really liked the fast, fast ride, and I...
