Davises Do Disney

Okay, because you asked...Disney was alot of fun, but different this time around. Bob and I got to cover ALOT of ground. We motored through the parks at a pretty fast clip. Since we'd been there before several times, we knew what we wanted to see. We got pretty good at maneuvering in and around double-wide strollers. We went to four parks in 2 1/2 days. The weather was sunny, but pretty warm. Since it was a spring break week, it was crowded. But we utilized the "Fast Pass" and didn't have to wait too long anywhere. We went to the Magic Kingdom first and did our favorites. We went on Buzz Lightyear four times!! We tried to better our score each time. I swear my laser gun wasn't working as fast as Bob's! Bob had to do better than the little kid in the seat in front of us. So he knocked him out of his seat half way through the ride! No, not really. Have to say, there really is something magical about the Magic Kingdom. I think that park had the most energy. The next day we went to Epcot and Animal Kingdom. Last time we were at Animal Kingdom, it had just opened and was not full of animals yet. This time the Jungle Safari was much more interesting. The newest ride, Everest, had a long line. And since I'm not a roller coaster girl, Bob didn't want to wait to go on alone. I told him to just snag a kid to ride with, but he might have been arrested for that. We went to Epcot next, and by special recommendation, tried the margaritas outside the Mexico pavillion. Bob decided to throw mine out after having to retrieve me from the lake! Man, they were potent! Seriously Pam, did you really finish yours??? Our favorite place to eat was in France. And what did we eat, sitting outside at a table, but cheese and grapes and our favorite, a chocolate croissant! It reminded us so much of France. I got up enough courage to go on the Soarin' ride. It was fun and I'd go on it again. Of course, next time I'll open my eyes. The next day we went to MGM and probably got to do the most at that park. The weather was perfect, not too warm. The crowds were manageable. We got to play "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, Play It!" That was fun!!!!We were competing with the young couple next to us. He was beating Bob, so Bob knocked him out of his chair. No, not really. We spent the last night, St. Patty's Day, sitting at a table along the water in Downtown Disney, drinking wine and a rum runner. After I pulled Bob out of the lake, we went back to the hotel. No, not really. All in all, it was a fun trip. It was a bit different going without children. So much of Disney's magic is seen through the joy of children. But Bob and I had fun on our own time. There were many couples just like us there. Empty-nesters. Having a great time. Will we go back anytime soon?? Only with grandchildren. But no rush...
