Our week in Disney has been fun, albeit different from our first trip here 2 years ago. This time...
- ...instead of sweating our butts off, like we did in the middle of July, we stayed bundled up for most of the day every day.
- ...instead of doing the 4 Disney parks, we did 2 days of Universal parks (Universal Studios & Islands of Adventure) & only 1 Disney park (Epcot). Really glad we did that. Universal parks are WAY fun!
- ...instead of going to the pool on our "off days," we made 2 trips to 2 different malls to pass the time when it was too chilly to do anything else. I bought a Spring dress from Charlotte Russe & a tunic from J.Crew. Bryn, of course, kept suggesting we go back to the mall every time we'd try to figure out our plans for the day. I believe I've mentioned the girl does love to shop.
- ...instead of riding the "wet" rides to cool off, Bryn & Bob had to buy rain ponchos to keep from turning blue when they stepped off. I don't ride the wet rides even when it's HOT outside... I have a camera to protect, you know. That & I don't enjoy walking around looking like a drowned rat all day. Only men & kids can pull off that look.
- ...instead of making reservations at all the theme parks for lunch, we ate at Whole Foods almost every single day. Love their food bar... healthy food without the wait. What's not to love about that?
- ...instead of having a useful laptop, wireless/internet access is pathetic. I can't even use Picnik to edit my photos. Bob keeps suggesting we just go to Starbucks for an hour. I keep saying I don't need to use the computer that bad. I think he secretly wants to live in a Starbucks.
- ...instead of posting photos from our trip every day, I'm just going to have to come home with all of them. But I really do have a lot of scrapping material. Like you thought otherwise?
Hope all is well with you, too!
I really am looking forward to seeing your pictures!!!

Speaking as a local, Florida is quite cool, no, make that cold, this year - and I am with Bob, I too secretly want to live at Starbucks! And yes, we love to eat lunch at Whole Foods! So looking forward to your photos and layouts - hope the rest of your time in the Big O is fun! I am going to Epcot in 2 weeks and plan to eat lunch in Morocco!

That's funny that Bryn is all about the mall. Truly her mother's daughter!!... I've been in a shopping mood lately too.
