Six and a half hours later, we descended upon my Great Aunt Margaret's house in Florida. Aunt Margaret is one of two people (my grandmother, Aunt Margaret's sister, being the other) that I know of that can make the best biscuits ever. Upon arrival, we quickly inhaled biscuits and chatted for awhile until time for bed. Staying at Aunt Margaret's is a must-do during any Florida vacation. I did it as a child numerous times and have very fond memories.
After a good night's rest, we said our goodbyes and we were off. Next stop, Hollywood Studios. There were two "must see" attractions for our boys, the others were bonuses. One "must do" was Star Wars Jedi Training. The training allows each child that is selected to battle Darth Vader, very cool especially to my two boys.
There were lots of loud noises, some that were not so appealing to little three year old girls. MK assumed a position that we would see throughout our Disney vacation when things got too loud.
After battling Darth Vader and receiving their Jedi Training Certification, the boys, all three of them, headed over to the next "must do" attraction, Rockin Roller Coaster. This coaster is like no other. It is based on Aerosmith and the ride begins by going from 0mph to 60+ in a matter of seconds. We were told it is the equivalent of a fighter jet taking off from an air craft carrier....LOTS of force, your stomach gets left behind AND it has a corkscrew + two or three loops, crazy. My little Pryce, in all of his 7 years of age, bravely boarded the ride ALL.BY.HIMSELF. Colin, though he was determined to ride it and put all fear aside, was not about to board the ride without the safety of his father right beside him. They LOVED the ride. MK and I hung out together while the boys did their boy things. We ventured into Disney Playhouse to do a little dancing with some Disney pals, we took in a Little Mermaid show, we shopped, we snacked, just the girls and we were cool with that. The day came to an end, as all days do, and we ventured over to Downtown Disney for dinner at RainForest Cafe. During our California vacation, we dined at RFC only to have MK not eat a thing due to her fear of the live looking elephants that adorned the dining area. Our Orlando RFC visit went much, much better. MK still refused to actually sit in her own chair but so long as she was held in the security of her mommy's arms, she was all good. She ate. She talked to the couple next to us. I would not go so far as to say that she enjoyed her RFC evening but I would definitely say there was improvement. Following dinner, we headed over to Lego World and then it was back to the hotel for a good night's rest. Phew, we were tired.
