On the 5th day we went to Walt Disney World. The thermometer only said 85 but I am pretty sure we about melted.
Quick stats of the day:
-- 4 hours
-- 12 bucks to park
-- 65 bucks for souvenirs
-- 16 bucks for lunch
-- rode the tea cups
-- rode the train.
We paid for parking by 10 but the lot had a lot of people already. We also knew with everything we had the tram was not an option for us. Plato 24 is where we parked. We started the hike in. Already having tickets saved us some time. The choice now was fairy or tram. Fairy it was.
Once in the park, it was full of morons just stopping to take pictures. We just wanted through. We also saw a everybody with maps and we didn't have one. How in the world did we do that? On the way out we saw our mistake and Candie picked a few up for the kid's scrap books.
We headed towards the kiddie area and found the tea cups. The wait was about 10 minutes, but in the heat holding kids it sure feels longer. The kids loved them. Kenzie giggled the whole time. Jake was fascinated with the teapot in the middle. We got to another area and tried to go in the small houses. They were jam packed. We found a gift shop and got some relief from the heat.
I smashed pennies for the kids; mickey for Jake and a fairy for Kenzie. Jake was very interested in the penny smasher and wanted to use it. I then saw little miss thing run by holding a poo. She also found some plastic mickey and co characters. Jake found a cup (kenzie got one too thanks to mom). Wifey go a photo frame and I called the damage enough. We found the train that goes around the park and did a whole lap. The kids seemed to enjoy that.
By this time, I was getting hungry. I just wanted a burger. It was really hard finding one. We passed dumbo on the way but his wait was over 30 minutes and that just wasn't going to happen with the kids running on empty. I was bummed.
We finally found a burger place and it was a mad house. I swear that had no less than 15 girls doing nothing but filling drinks. What kind of cash goes through that place? I heard several people comment that Monday was the busiest they had seen the park. Awesome! Looking at the people at the park you wouldn't know this country was in a recession.
Time to head home. The kids fell asleep in the car. We got slurpees. It rocked!
More swimming in the pool. Also took them to the big pool. They liked to sit on the edge and jump to us. Jake was also enjoying holding the edge and putting his head under the water and come back up.
Jake is going to be a good swimmer. He is already putting his head under the water for several seconds at a time on his own. You can see him pushing the limits as the day goes on. It's exciting.
