Is It Time To Go Back Yet!?

So sitting here with the 10 yr old that I watch, we are listening to "Welcome To Florida" by Spokesmayne and trying to figure out how recreate these shoes, because I don't want to pay full price for them and I bought similar style shoes today at Target for like 17 dollars! WOO!

SO anyway! I was thinking that I haven't blogged in a while. So I figured I would share with whoever is reading this my amazing trip to Disney!! =]

~This May Take a While~
~I'm going all sorts of legit, pics and all!~

So, we left Sunday December 11 on an early evening flight out of St. Louis. I was so nervous because I haven't flown very much, and I was getting on a plane to go to Disney, and I had been talking about going back for a year and a half.   But my boyfriend was there to calm me down.  I was also slightly angry, we had to stop and change planes in ATL. WAS NOT HAPPY! We had booked a nonstop flight to Orlando, and they changed it on us.  GAH! Not happy! Anyway, we got into Orlando at about 10 pm and after our Magical Express ride, to the resort at 11 ish. Jon and I were so excited to finally be there!  So we ordered a pizza from room service and went to bed.  We had a looongg week ahead! ;) 

In the morning, we ventured out into "The World".  We got breakfast at the resort (we were staying at All-Start Music), and went out to catch the bus to Magic Kingdom, of course!  We left pretty early because I wanted to get there before the park opened (or at least close to opening), well close it was.  But I was so excited! And only having been at peak season in the middle of the summer, we were AMAZED at how small the crowds were! So we did all we wanted in the park at the time and were done by 10! HOLY COW! On to EPCOT!  

So once again, we went through the parks so quickly because the crowds were so small.  Small crowds= short lines= GOING THROUGH THE PARKS QUICK! 

Since we were going through the parks so quickly and we were running out of things to do, we didn't feel the need to rush like both of us were used to.  During the summer, we were running (literally, RUNNING) everywhere to try to get our fix in of everything that we wanted to do.  Trying to get just one more Space Mountain or one more Test Track! ... And we were there for two weeks! So being there for one week and being done with the essentials in two days felt a bit odd.  But we were in wearing shorts in the middle of December... we didn't mind! ;)  

It was such a fun experience, this was our first big trip together.  I mean last year, we went to Chicago via train for a couple of days, which we thought then was a big trip.  We had no idea what we would be doing a year and a half later. And even now, never know what the future will bring, we both want to go to Europe so bad! I want to go for like a month, just jump around from country to country...  ahhh sounds so nice! And I have a friend in England so she could show us the ropes! Oh gosh, I'm rambling again!! OH WELL! Nobody is going to read this anyway!! ;)

I learned a couple things from this trip... One; Go during the off season between Thanksgiving and Christmas, it's cheaper and WAY less people! and Two; I have found out that with Jon and I, it is better to go to WDW with a group.  He enjoys rides that I can't go on (the curse of motion sickness) and I felt bad that he didn't get to go on some of his favorites.  Tower of Terror, Rockin Rollercoaster, Mount Everest, etc. So when we went with his family over the summer, he at least had his little brothers to enjoy it with.  He said it was ok that I didn't want to go on them and he would rather not have gone on them at all if he had to do single rider... which was a total LIE! He lives for those rides and didn't get a chance to go on them. So next time we shall go with a couple of friends or family!

Welp,  I think that's enough typing for one night!!

See ya real soon!!
