Friday: lie awake in bed for an hour... go into the living room to watch Phinneaus & Ferb... back to bed... 5 a.m. ... in bed next to sleeping RaeRae, Ange starts to sing, "When you wish upon a star, make no difference who you are!" ... RaeRae says, "Are you KIDDING me?! Shut up!" ... Mom makes bacon & eggs in the kitchen... depart for Magic Kingdom on complimentary Disney buses... arrive... Cinderella's castle comes into sight... swoon... skip and frolic down Mainstreet USA - yes, we really frolicked... take 50 pictures in the first 10 minutes in the park... chart the most efficient and effective course of action, first stop Tomorrowland... Buzz Lightyear ride, crowd favorite... is it time for an ice cream bar yet?... on to Fantasyland, and the teacups... "Let's reenact that home video where we went super fast and made 3-year-old RaeRae really dizzy"... bad, bad, bad idea... who knew a teacup could fly at warp speed when driven by Hodgie?... "Let's do it again!"... again, a bad idea... sing 'it's a small world after all' in creepy child voice... point out various cultural & geographical items of interest on ride... Frontierland... finally, the Mickey ice cream bar I've been dreaming of... almost no lines for Haunted House, Splash & Thunder Mountains... Mom grabs Dad's arm from behind on Haunted Mansion, scares the mess out of him... ride Thunder twice in a row... upon exiting, Disney castmember says, "You wanna go again? Go to the front of the line!"... this never happens... disappointed El Pirata y El Perico taco stand is not open, settle for Pecos Bill's... Pirates of the Caribbean sing-along... 'We wants the redhead!'... get best spot ever for 3 p.m. parade... "Wow, we've never sat right on the curb before!"... depart for best meal ever at Ohana's... ukulele playing lady wants Hodgie in a bad way... "Oh, you can hold my ukulele even though it was $5,000. I think you can handle it, handsome!"... head to Night of Joy at Disney's Hollywood Studios... too tired for fun... Star Tours? More like Crap Tours... "Mom, can we please go home and sleep?"... oh, how the tables have turned...




Sunday: Naaaaaaaaa-si-vanyeeaaa-mamameeseeekama-wenyahuh... off to Animal Kingdom... "Should we bring the ponchos?"... "Nah, looks pretty sunny"... descend bus 200 yards from entrance... rain violently DUMPS out of the sky... soaking wet... about those ponchos... critter safari... river rapids ride... again, where are the ponchos... "RaeRae, make your monkey noise!"... "Ooooh-oooh-ahhha-ahhhh!!!"....oooh, let's go on the Mt. Everest roller coaster... free fast passes for all of us!... lots of screaming... Hodgie says, "Let me ooooooooofffffffff!"... dino land ride is scarier than you think... Lion King presentation brings down the house... love those tumbling monkeys... back to Ohana's for dinner - it's just that delicious... banana bread pudding with vanilla sauce for dessert... back to villa... laundry and packing for business trip tomorrow...

...sad to say goodbye to the Wonderful World of Disney, definitely our best trip to Orlando ever in the history of trips to Orlando.
