Hotels...I can now see how people can do a resort-only vacation here. Seriously, they are incredible. Each resort has a list of things to do each day, just like the DLR resorts have their tours and whatnot. The DVC resorts have Community Halls; last night R and E played a game of pool at the OKW hall, then we rented a couple movies (free for members), wandered the giftshop and bought some items for breakfast, etc etc.
Dagnabit, I didn't realize that Dinosaur World was an hour away! Harumph! Maybe the dinos will have to wait.
Family has gone home, we're in a 1 bedroom, we all cried when they left. Successful visit, and any stress was simply b/c my aunt is my aunt and she cannot help but be a stressball. Snippet...at AK for just a few hours yesterday, happened to walk out from the Pangiani (??) Trail only to find the Jammin' Jungle Parade about to happen. Had the boys stand on benches (yes, I let E stand on a bench! shocking) from far back so they could see more...my aunt went way up somewhat close (at another bench not right up AT the parade) and was flipping out that we were hanging back. She just didn't seem to get that we could see MORE than she could, even if they saw things 3 benches-worth closer. She finally got the boys to come to her, but she kept flashing the disgusted "what are you DOING" looks back at the *grownups* who chose to do something else...seriously, we're between 41 and 34, we know what we want to do! But that's just her, and not some weird thing that just happened here. And we still love her dearly.
FYI, it's freezing here. OK not quite literally, stayed above 32 last night, but 36 isn't really what I was expecting LOL. I have a toe that is "bad", b/c I smashed the hades out of it years ago, and it's aching like crazy b/c of the cold. Ow. But we'll be more prepared for the weather today, unlike yesterday, where I turned my brain to sludge by wearing short sleeve shirt and shorts when it was 50 and 40s during the day. Whoops!
