Ohmigosh, has it really been that long since I posted? Wow.
WDW was a BLAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We came back with just under 2400 photos!
On check-in I received a pin proclaiming it was my birthday. David helped with that. When the registrar (drawing a blank right now) noted that we had a celebration listed on our reservation, my darling hubby was helpful and pointed out that it was mine the following Tuesday.
I wore that button everyday. I have NEVER been wished 'Happy Birthday!' so much in my life. At first I felt guilty, but then I just went with the flow. It was easier than explaining to every single person.
Our first day was at Epcot. The park was pretty empty. We started at Mission Space. I decided to try it since it was cold enough that the dizziness should dissipate rather quickly. (My Meniere's seems to dislike the cold; for some reason dizzy attacks that are immediately followed by cold - preferably with wind- tend to go away much more rapidly. Of course I prefer warmth, which probably exacerbates the problem.) I walked out dizzy - and that was the Green Ride! I sat outside and watched the Monorail while David & the kids took another gander on Mission Space. We also did Soaring ( I am fine until we zoom over Los Angeles in the dark.) Test Track is my favorite - we did that three times in a row! Lunch was at Akershus. It was okay, though Ariana had the tiniest cheese pizza I have ever seen that was not labeled micro! Then we did a bit more in Future World such as a private visit with Mickey & Pluto thanks to our Disney CC. At one point Mickey litterally got right into my face while I was photographing Alex & Pluto!
We ended the night at Downtown Disney. I got some great photos in the dark! Turns out our new Canon Camera takes awesome night shots once you figure out how to work it. I need to figure out how to make those layouts shine.
Day Two was also Epcot, punctuated by a quick visit for yours truly to try to fix the problem with Ariana's reservation. We booked before she turned 10, but Disney considers that to be an adult. I had paid the difference, but the info did not transfer. Luckily Rafeeza was much more able to help me than her boss. He was a lost cause!
I returned to Epcot to find David had only taken a couple of photos of the kids. We were mistakenly told that Future World is not open for Extra Magic Hours, but World Showcase is, so we spent the whole night in back. We bought pearls in Japan. My last pearl had identical twin pearls that David had set in gold drop earrings. My other pearls were set in gold, one with a small emerald and the other in a gold cage. Ariana had two pearls set in a ring and the other set with a small sapphire. Alex chose an oyster which contained an 8mm pearl! He had it set in a tie tac. We finally were able to enjoy the American Experience, something very meaningful to me since I am an Inauguration Baby.
The photos that night of the different buildings in the dark turned out incredible!
More later!
