Florida Vacation Part 2

Day 2 January 27th 2011
Luther, Alexis, and I go to our free breakfast and hear the schpill on how we should upgrade our timeshare package. Our breakfast was yummy but the sales pitch was exhausting. If any of you are suckered into hearing about a timeshare wait until you get to the last manager to accept (if you plan on buying of course) our offer went from 11,000 to 3,990 to upgrade. We declined, as nice as it would be to have more points to use for vacations we are not in a position right now to make anymore financial commitments. We are working toward being completely debt free. After July we will only have our house that we have a lien on. We didn't want to mess that up.
After we finished with the timeshare deal we got the first load of people, collected our $80 for listening to the timeshare pitch and then headed toward the Magic Kingdom. (For those who don't know, Disney World is made up of four parks; Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, and Disney's Hollywood Studios) Luther's dad and I got the tickets and Luther went back for the second load of people. (For the first few days we tried using one car for the 8 of us near the end of the trip Luther's dad decided to rent a second car.) While we were waiting for the second load, I bought Alexis an autograph book. It is a princess book that has slots for pictures. She was so excited to get her book and loves it so much.
Magic Kingdom is a lot like Disneyland. It has different lands; Fantasyland, Tomorrowland, Adventureland, Frontierland, Liberty Square, Mickey's Toontown Fair, and Main Street USA. Luther, Alexis, and I started our day watching Monsters Inc Laugh Floor. It was such a fun show. Part of the show they have a 2-headed monster named Mac and Cheese retelling the story of Monsters Inc. They would chose different audience members to play the roles of the story. Luther was chosen to be the Randal of the story and had to disappear. It was so funny watching him try to figure out how to do that. He then had the brilliant idea of scooting over to the empty seat next to him so the camera could "see" him anymore. It was so fun. After that we went and explored toontown, Alexis had fun looking through Mickey's house and Minnie's house. Then we stood in line to meet some princesses. We were able to meet Aurora, Cinderella, and Belle. Alexis talked their ears off. It was the cutest thing ever. Afterwards we went on all the rides in Fantasyland and watched Philharmagic. I LOVED Philharmagic. In the show Donald Duck gets sucked into some famous Disney movies after tampering with Mickey's sorcerer's hat. Alexis loved when Donald would splash in the water and we would get sprayed.
Cheyenne (Luther's sister) was nice enough to watch Alexis while Luther and I went on Space Mountain. Alexis was not too happy about that. She was so worried that she lost her mommy. Cheyenne was able to get Alexis to ride Peter Pan and tried to get Alexis on Dumbo. Alexis was not a happy camper. Alexis was so happy when her mommy and daddy came back and made me ride Dumbo with her. Silly girl.
We then went back to the hotel and I made hamburgers for dinner. They turned out to be pretty yummy. :) My feet were in so much pain but the jacuzzi helped ease some of that pain. Thank goodness.
