On March 8, we started our trek south to sunny Florida for vacation. I was in slow gear, but glad that in planning our vacation back at Christmas, had decided it was easiest for me just to let Disney be in charge. So we stayed at the Port Orleans Riverside for most of the week, and then went to Animal Kingdom for the last night. We went to Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Downtown Disney, and Animal Kingdom. We ate at a character meal, which was fun. We also had the meal plan, and with a child with food allergies, it's the way to go. At each food location a chef came out and talked about what he could eat on the menu and then prepared it. This made a vacation for me on David's dairy challenges. We both thought the magic bands were cool and it didn't take David long to figure out how to use them!
It's been a week since we came home and David still says his favorite thing was the Dumbo ride, and he likes Pluto and Nemo. He did not like Minnie Mouse, but said maybe one day he'll change his mind. :-) He liked the airplane too and did not sleep a wink, but chattered about wanting to be a pilot and wondered where the map was to tell the pilot how to get home.
We didn't get to do all that I had hoped for -- I thought maybe we would have a chance to connect with family and friends in Florida, but it didn't come together for this trip. But we'll be back -- David is already asking if we can go to our room and the pool and see Mickey!
