Disney Hangover

Well, so much for that trip. Two weeks away and we're back, we now have the ol' vacation hangover.

The second week of our trip was all Disney. We stayed at the Beach Club resort, which was mere steps away from Epcot. It was totally bizarre to just step out your door and be at the park. Last year, we packed up the van, packed a few backpacks, drove to DisneyWorld, parked, took the transport to the park entrance, etc, etc.... This was totally the way to do it.

The little varmints had a really good time at Disney. The older boy hit the roller coasters that he didn't want to go on last year: Expedition Everest, Rockin' Roller Coaster. And the little feller went on some rides too.


Before we left, we watched the Toy Story movies. He got totally into Buzz Lightyear. As luck would have it, he got to meet him and shoot some targets at Buzz Lightyear's Spin Zone. You basically go in and try to shoot these targets.


All the parks were all done up for Christmas (sorry, "Holiday Season"). Something very weird about sweltering 27 degree humid heat with Christmas music in the background. All the parades were Christmas themed, and they even did a cool effect on Cinderella's Castle:


Through some selective lighting, they added some "icicles" to the Castle. This also added a cool effect to the fireworks show. Right now our heads are spinning, we did so much. This is the hangover part. After awhile, we'll be able to look back and recall what we did.

But now I'm going to work on the backyard rink. But its got to get a lot colder than this!
