Well, today was our first official day at Disney! We came down yesterday through some horrendous downpours! Rain, Rain, Rain! We got settled into our hotel after going to City Walk at Universal Studios for dinner. We had yummy Panda Express & the kids had Moe's. We were looking for simple & got simple since it was already 8:30 PM.
LOL... this is supposed to be a fun & happy trip. But, so far, we have all had short fuses and quick tongues & tempers. I think we're all so exhausted and it's coming through our attitudes. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better.
Today, we went to Hollywood Studios, formerly MGM. It is Star Wars weekend, so the boys have got to see many of their favorite characters. Some, I don't even know who they are. We ate at Pizza Planet. We did the Muppet 3-D movie, Star Tours, Toy Story Mania, Lights, Action, Stunt show, saw an awesome parade, watched the Playhouse Disney show that included: Tigger & Pooh, Handy Manny, & the characters from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. The kids really suprised us with not being scared of the characters. They all walked right up & gave all of them a big high-5. Toy Story Mania was the last ride we rode b/c we got a fast pass at 10:30 AM to ride at 7:10 PM.. wow. We waited ALL DAY to ride it. The weather was actually nice until we came out of that ride. By the time we made it to the van, we were soaked to the core... literally! The water in the parking lot was up past our ankles. The van was almost floating and the boys had to strip down for the ride home. The double stroller even had a puddle forming in the basket underneath. CRAZY!
As some of you know, we originally were going to plan a couple of days at Daytona Beach. But, it got to be too much of a hassle trying to find accomodations that worked for us & we said forget it. Well, now we know that was God intervening to save us from FLOODING! Tonight on the news, 10 Florida counties have been declared disaster areas & need help from FEMA from all the ridiculous rain they've had down here. The whole town of Daytona is flooded. God is always looking out for us!! Thank You Lord!
Tonight, we checked into our condo & I can say I am beyond pleased!! It is super fantastic!
I have LOTS of pictures, but can't get them on my computer tonight. Will work on that & try to post a couple soon!!
Stay Tuned for more posts about our trip!!

God is good!
I'm so glad you made it down safely despite the bad weather and so glad your Daytona plans worked out the way they did(n't). Praying for a peaceful, fun trip for you all. Thanks for the report. It's the next best thing to being there! :-)
