Josh got to visit with Uncle Mike and Aunt Sue while he was traveling to Cali. (They live in Florida, so a very odd route.  But thankful for them to be available for his 8 hour layover.)

Disney

I love Disney!  I thought I was done going as the last time we went as a family our experience was not up to par.  There was a lot of construction last time and we were just not happy.  Also, too many school groups with NO supervision made our time very challenging to say the least.  However, my sister and brother in-laws have a little one that they wanted to take to the parks.  Years ago, I said I would attend and be like a "nanny" for them so they could enjoy some rides that Teegan couldn't go on and so forth.  Well back in November we booked a trip for 1st week in April.  Just a Monday-Saturday.  We would just go into the main parks, no water parks.  So April 1st Bill and I boarded a flight to Orlando where we would meet up with the family.
This is only the 2nd time I have stayed on property.  Let me just say - it was fantastic!!!  I really thought I was going to hate not being able to come and go as I please but have to be at the mercy of the bus/transportation system that Disney provides.  Well, I was pleasantly surprised by the ease and the joy of it all.
Two things we did was - stay in a suite at Art of Animation and purchased the meal plan.  I recommend both.
Here are some photos of our time spent there.  Good time!  I want to go back!  AHHHH!

This too was a snack.  We ate wonderfully.  Disney does a great job on flavor taste and quality.  It is a wonder we didn't return gaining weight.
