Condo Update

While we were in Orlando on Saturday, Parker and I drove past the condo. It's still there but all shut down and both entrances are blocked with rope. No sign yet from the new owner about their plans for redevelopment. 

 

Disney Trip - Memorial Day Weekend

Sunday night we took an overnight trip to Disney for Memorial Day. We started with a little bit of time in the Magic Kingdom, dodging raindrops. We rode the Space Ranger Spin and then Tron.

We saw a little bit of the fireworks too! 

On Monday morning, we got up and went to Epcot. Wesley's girlfriend Lydia met us there. We rode Spaceship Earth and walked through Moana Journey of Water and the Seabase (saw the new manatees), Then we rode Soarin' Around the World. Wesley and Lydia rode Frozen while the boys and I rode Guardians of the Galaxy.

We wandered around and got lunch and snacks. We visited the new Passholder Lounge in the Morocco Pavilion and stopped to listen to the drummers in Japan.

It was brutally hot but we managed to have a good day. 

 

Spring Break Vacation Day Seven

Saturday we spent some time in Epcot again. 

 

We had lunch at the new Space 220 restaurant next to Mission Space. 

You take a special "space elevator" to the space station. 

When you get up to the space station you get to see the space garden.

And then you step into the restaurant with the spectacular views of earth in the windows. 

 

 The food was awesome too. Some of the guys got Caesar salads and others got shrimp tacos for an appetizer. My special appetizer was brussel sprouts. Daryl and I both got beverages that included pomegranate, orange and guava juice with rum (his also had boba). 

Entrees included steak and frites, burgers and pad thai. I also got steak with fingerling potatoes and green beans. 

This was our ride back down to earth in the "space elevator." 

 

After lunch, Daryl and the big boys went back to the resort. I honored a promise to Davis to take him back to Hollywood Studios for Rock N Roll Coaster and Tower of Terror. We rode the bus over and had fun hanging out. 

We walked out to the back of the parking lot and Daryl and Parker picked us up to go to Port Orleans French Quarter resort for beignets. This time the guys tried the beignet sundaes while I got the allergy friendly beignets.

 And we finished up the night with some shopping and fun at Disney Springs.
