| Today's trip to Walt Disney World didn't exactly get off to the 
			start we were hoping, as the five of us stopped at Sun N' Fun to 
			meet up with Grandpa Gary & Grandma Terry, Great-Grandma Parrott, 
			and Uncle Steve. Unfortunately, there was an incident that resulted 
			in stitches being needed, and not all of us able to go. That 
			resulted in Rodney, Tara, Samantha, Drew, Jayden, and Uncle Steve 
			heading up this morning, with the rest of us meeting up later in the 
			day. Once we arrived at the Ticket and Transportation Center, we 
			rented a wheelchair for Steve to use, and rode the boat over to the 
			Magic Kingdom. Once we made it inside the Magic Kingdom we headed 
			back to Frontierland, where we ate lunch while waiting in line for 
			the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad or, as Steve called it, 
			"Big Funder". 
			We next went over to Splash Mountain (or "Wet Mountain, per 
			Steve) to enjoy the splash of water on this hot summer day. It was 
			during this ride that Grandpa Gary & Grandma Terry arrived at the 
			park, along with Aunt Erica. 
			We made our way to Tomorrowland to meet up with them, as well as 
			use our Fastpasses for Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin. 
			From here we split up for a pair of rides. Samantha, Jayden, and 
			Rodney went up to ride the Astro Orbiter, while the rest of 
			our group rode the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover. 
			While we were on these rides, Space Mountain was closed 
			(which allowed Drew to get some cool pictures of the inside from the 
			PeopleMover), but it opened back up right after we were done. 
			Rodney, Tara, Sam, Drew, Jay, and Steve headed over to enjoy this 
			ride while the line was short! 
			Up next was another Fastpass ride, the newly reopened 
			Tomorrowland Speedway. This marked the first time that we have 
			been able to ride this ride since we've had our passes, as it has 
			been closed for the construction of the new Tron ride being built 
			nearby. 
			We moved on to Fantasyland next, for a quick ride on the Seven Dwarfs Mine Ride. 
			Once that was over we headed over to Mickey's PhilharMagic for a 
			chance to cool off in the air conditioning while enjoying the show. 
			We decided to make Adventureland our final stop of the day. While 
			there we got on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride before 
			moving over to another one of the Disney classics, the Jungle Cruise. 
			Of course the dry humor had us all laughing, but we were getting 
			pretty hungry after a long day, so we decided to call it a day. 
			We found ourselves at Outback for dinner after leaving the park. 
			Once we all satisfied our need for food, we called it a day and made 
			our way home. 
			As this was our last day for the summer thanks to the block out 
			dates, we are already looking forward to the fall when we can do it 
			all over again!  |
