The weather channel said it was going to thunderstorm all week. It did rain almost every day, but for only about 20 or 30 minutes so it wasn't so bad.
We got up at 2am...our ride was at our house by 3am and we were on our way to the Philadelphia airport. The security lines weren't even open yet when we got there so we had to wait. When we finally got inside we couldn't believe how many kids were on the flight...why aren't these kids in school?! Parents just don't parent their kids anymore.
Finally got to Orlando airport and then we were on our way to the resort. The Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa is where we bought our timeshare, so we decided to stay there our first time using the Disney Vacation Club.
Picture perfect, if you ask me. And we were told by a couple that were actually from Saratoga Springs, NY that Disney had every detail exact, right down to the ball at the top of the lamp posts. Pretty cool! We stayed in a 1-bedroom villa with a full kitchen. We went grocery shopping there and made breakfast every morning in the room which saved us a ton of money!
This trip we made sure we did more relaxing than running around. We always stress about getting everything done in the parks and then are exhausted by the end of the night. We definitely did a lot more relaxing, it was really nice! We did everything we wanted to do and more!
We did the "Keys to the Kingdom" behind the scenes tour of Magic Kingdom. It was really neat to see the behind the scenes stuff and get some insider information. I wish we could have taken photos, but it was not allowed. It was also really cool to see the new construction of Fantasyland in Magic Kingdom. I can't wait to go back and see it when it's all finished.
The food was amazing, as always, and I think I gained 5 extra pounds that week ha ha. We especially love eating in the World Showcase. Sushi in Japan, Brats in Germany, Creme Brulee in France, and couscous in Morocco!! Yummy yum yum! We had some amazing margaritas in Mexico too. They were so strong, but so good!
We had some troubles when we landed back in PA. There was a lightening storm and so the runway was closed. Luckily we had already landed and were just waiting inside for our luggage. This guy and his wife felt the need to complain nonstop and rant and rave about how awful the airport was. Blah, blah, blah. I wish I could have kicked his ass. What good did that do?! Just anger me and Cam.
All in all we had a fabulous vacation! I didn't want to leave and can't wait to go back!!
So, idk if Cam knows, but when he was a wee bebe we lived near Saratoga Springs in a town called Ballston Spa. I think the church we went to was in Saratoga Springs. Maybe not. I was only like 4.
