vacation part three.

part three . disney world
every time i go back, i'm tempted to stay. i lived in orlando and worked at disney world for three months in the fall of 2008. i had just graduated college and was not ready for the real world. so i decided to do the absolute opposite.

a tip for anyone planning a trip to disney world: DO NOT go during president's day week. especially when it also happens to coincide with mardi gras break and the daytona 500.

we did it once before and swore we'd never do it again, but my dad read the calendar wrong this year and before we figured it out, the plane tickets, hotel reservations, and rental car were all booked and paid for. smart, right? so, being the savvy disney world know-it-alls we are, we went anyway. [side note: if i had a dollar for every time i saw someone wearing a saints jersey or a random "who dat" chant broke out, i'd be a rich girl. it was amazing.]

there were a few major things we didn't get to do because the lines were simply too long or the fastpasses were gone by 30 minutes after park opening. but, we've done them before, and inevitably, we'll do them again, so no biggie.

this has probably been one of the coldest winters i've ever experienced here in the south. multiple days in a row where the temperature doesn't get above 50 degrees. [laugh all you want, northerners, but that's not normal down here!] unfortunately, southern florida was no different. but, as i've said.. i love that place. my facebook status from the last night explains it perfectly.


yep, that's right. bring it. and now, my three-part vacation recount is over. back to your regularly scheduled programming.
