Disney World.....Day 2

We didn’t wake up very early…..at least not as we had planned to do. Dr. Jeni was really getting worried about Ava, so she talked with the hotel info office and they suggested calling the DisneyWorld medical clinic and ask for their “house call doctor”. Jeni did just that and within an hour a medical doctor arrived……and stayed for at least 45 minutes examining Ava and discussing her diagonosis with Dr. Jeni. Seems that Ava has what is commonly known as “Pink Eye”……..and was given several types of medications which the Dr. brought with her from the clinic. It was a VERY costly hour…….but it put some worries away for all of us.

So, it was about 11:30 before we left the hotel for MGM-Disney Studio Park. This was quite a cool place…..all streets and areas looking like Hollywood streets, movie lots, and movie sets. We spent the day going to shows, on rides including the Tower of Terror and just walking this park.
Really surprised just how well Meg and Rachel are adjusting to all of the walking. Really doing a great job…..no complaints from either of them.

As we entered the Park today, we were stopped by a Park worker, asking how many of us there were. Then she said we were going to be in for a special treat and to follow her. We did and she took us to the Indiana Jones show…..and then told us that Meghan was going to start the show in front of the several thousand people, by saying “Lights….Camera….Action!!!”. Well…..when the time came, she did it just fine!!!! We also received six “Fast Pass” tickets to be used at any time during the day. Really came in handy!!!!!

I cannot get my phone internet hookup to upload any pics that I have taken over the past two days. Guess there just isn’t enough strength in the connection to get it done…….reading the STL paper takes forever just to download, so suppose that is the problem. Sorry about that……will have many pics when we return that I will post!

I continue to be amazed at the GREAT DEAL we got for this trip!!!! I think I mis-stated the cost of the DisneyWorld trip……it was $1200 and change for the three of us, me…the 1st Lady….and Rachel. That includes our 6 nights in the hotel, our park tickets which allow us to jump to other parks as many times each day as we want, AND our meals: lunch with dessert, an afternoon snack, and dinner with appetizers, entrée, and dessert. I have easily spent over $70 on meals today alone!!!!! It is just incredible…….and I think this was just a trial for them to see how many would take advantage of this offer. Our meals alone will amount to the $1200 by the time we leave…….!!! Tomorrow night, the 1st Lady and I are dining at the Disney World signature restaurant, where each meal will run close to $100!!!!!

Rain is supposed to move in tomorrow…….could change many of our plans, but will have rain gear and are ready to continue…..hopefully.

And…..with pounds being added to my sagging hulk on a daily basis……I still believe….that:

Life is Great……and I hope it is for all of you, also!!!
