What have I been up to? Oh you know, tearing it up in Disney World!
We spent 2 weeks in Orlando. 6 days at Disney. 2 at Universal Studios. 3 on Coco Beach. 2 days at the resort's pool complex. All of which took place in 100+ weather with 50%+ humidity. A few days the heat index was 120. So in reality we swam through Orlando. I have NEVER sweated that much in my entire life. EVER. But oh was it worth it. We tore it up. We visited all 4 of the Disney parks: Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Epcot, and The Animal Kingdom. We revisited the Magic Kingdom a total of 3 times. We went to Universal Islands of Adventure and to Universal Studios. (And let me tell you there is NO comparison between Disney and Universal. One is friendly and wonderful. One isn't.)
I can't even begin to try to comprehensively go through the whole trip. So I hope you will forgive me that the trip will most likely be covered in a few postings. This, being the most inital will be an overview.
The Magic Kingdom was our first stop. 3 minutes in the door and we were already in line to see Pluto. :) I had made us all matching Mickey Mouse shirts with our names under Mickey. This went down a storm as the cast was able to interact with us much easier. We even were called out during a parade to join in! Woot!

he second day we could not help hurrying over to Islands of Adventure and seeing the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. 
While there we got to meet the Beau Baxton and Durmstang students while we were in line for Lily to get her wand. Olivander ended up picking Lily out of the crowd to help her select her wand (she got to participate in the show.) It. was. AWESOME!!!!!!
Well worth the hour and a half wait in the sun! The wizarding world itself is every HP geek's wet dream. I got to go INTO HOGWARTS!!! I went into Dumbledore's office! I SAW THE PENSIVE!!!!!! The Hogwarts ride was incredable! Seriously! I was screaming for Harry to save me! And I don't mean little girl screams. I mean HOLY SHIT IS THAT A DRAGON IN MY FACE!!!!!!! screaming. It was amazing! We had lunch at the Three Broomsticks and got Butterbeer at the Hog's Head! 
At Zonko's my kid adopted a Pygmy Puff and I got a jar of U-N0-POO which doesn't stop making me giggle. I even got my finger nibbled by the Moster book of Mosters! I had a ball!!!!the rest I will save for another day but I will leave you with my favorite pic from the trip. Even Minnie has... urges!
Many thanks to Mason for watching the Cat and Ophelia for watching the dog.
