Downtown Disney

We checked out of the lodge yesterday morning kicking and screaming. All of us were looking for a reason to stay! Well actually a reason to go home. We ate breakfast at Whispering Canyon in the lobby of the lodge and it was so good! All you can eat and they bring it to you! It doesn't get any better than that. Jennifer and I decided that they must put a little something extra in the Mickey waffles because they are addictive. After breakfast we took the bus to Downtown Disney and enjoy the beautiful day. The best weather days were the day we arrived and the day we left. It's hard to shop with Cammie in tow so Joe and I didn't do much but we did get a couple of things. It was really crowded too. We also found out that it was snowing or some such foul weather event at home so we began to hope that our flight would get cancelled. Cammie and Joe got on the carousel and then we watched some kids from Australia perform and Cammie entertained the people around us with her smooth moves. We ate lunch at the T Rex Cafe which was really cool. Actually it was more of a snack since we were all still pretty full from breakfast. After that we had to go back to the lodge to get ready to get picked up. We hung out by the fireplace for a bit and then Juan came to take us to the airport. We were still hoping that our flight would get cancelled especially when the 630 flight to Baltimore was delayed until 930. This sucked because a bunch of people got on our flight and it was completely full and then people had too much carry on luggage and they had to start checking baggage and we were late leaving. It was however the first time in a while that we left Orlando and it wasn't storming. The taxi to the runway is so long though it feels like you are just driving home. The flight was pretty uneventful until the descent, Cammie had some ear issues and started screaming. That was lovely. Of course when we landed and were waiting to get off the plane she was standing on the seat full of smiles saying Surprise! Mr Matt! Hi! and things like that so hopefully she redeemed herself to the other passengers. On a related note I do wish that grumpy people who don't like kids would not go to Disney. Why are they surprised when there are kids there who are all hopped up on Mickey? I find them irritating. So anyway, we made it home and up the driveway (that did take a couple of tries) and had a quick soak. The dogs (and Cammie) let us sleep in this morning which was really nice. We were disappointed to not have an all you can eat breakfast this morning but we'll have to work on that I suppose. We had a great vacation and can't wait to return as usual!
