Feelin' Hot Hot Hot
Were back from 8 days at Disney world and we had an absolutely wonderful time! I think the title says it all. It wasn't below 90 the whole week; but considering it seems like it's barely gotten above 60 here, I wasn't complaining ... much.
 May 2 to May 9 Cast: Me ~ Stacie DH ~ Jeff DS ~ Thomas (7) DS ~ Alex (6) with us for the first part of the week DMother DFather DBrother ~ JD DBrother ~ Caleb JD's GF JD's GF DD ~ Reagan Caleb's GF To make a long story short, my DH (who has never been as big a Disney fan as me) actually suggested we take another vacation to Disney World this year; so, who am I to argue. Our little trip suddenly grew to include my mom and dad since "they are so close" as my mom informed me. Then, it grew again to include my brother Caleb and his girlfriend. Finally, my other brother decided he couldn't be left out of the big vacation. So, we had quite a motley crew of merry men taking a trip to the world.

Re: Feelin' Hot Hot Hot
Everything started well. Our flight was on time and we actually arrived a little early. We boarded the Magical Express and we were off to the Polynesian with no wait at all.

Re: Feelin' Hot Hot Hot
My mom, dad, JD, his GF and Reagan were waiting for us when we arrived. After settling in a little, we only had about an hour before our reservations at Ohana. Since this wasn't really enough time to actually head over to a park, we decided to do something I have never done before. We rented a pontoon boat and took a lagoon tour before dinner. It was really relaxing and fun; definitely something I would think about doing again.

Re: Feelin' Hot Hot Hot
Welcome back to IL! Glad to hear you had a great time. Keep the TR coming! I'll have to remember that "hands up while holding on" trick...
