Top 10 things I learned from my Disney World & Cruise Vacation

Sorry it's been a while folks but I went on vacation (Jan 24-Feb 1st) and I have been trying to recover from Disney Ebola (I'll explain later). Not to mention, this week I am on call for jury duty and trying to get back into a very busy time at work! I will likely do a recap of the vacation but I am not sure when I will have a free moment. For now, here are some things I learned on my recent Disney vacation.

#10. The STATE ROOMS on the Walt Disney Cruise ship WONDER are huge!!! They beat Carnival anyday. However, the pin pong ball in the ceiling had me going bonkers for a few hours.

#9. The DISNEY DELUXE MEAL PLAN at Walt Disney World, is too much food for any human being to consume! I'd like to meet the person who can consume all that food with ease because they certainly have impressive eating skills.

#8. SNACK CREDITS are awesome! Even when you have Disney Ebola and can't use them as they should be used. Not only are snacks awesome but if you can't use the alotted two per day at least you can use them all at once at the end of your visit. The very last day we were at Walt Disney World I was able to go snack shopping, which was way cool because I left with a whole bag of yummy tasty treats. I can't wait to try my Disney Jaw Breaker and Disney Rice Krispie Treat.

#7. JIKO, this South African Restaurant at the Animal Kingdom Lodge, still has the best food at Disney!

#6. DISNEY CHARACTER BUFFETS are not that bad. Cape May actually looked good despite having Disney Ebola! And I made out with Donald Duck!

#5. THE BEACH CLUB RESORT rocks! Loved their sand bottom pool. Too bad I didn't get to go in due to my Disney Ebola.

#4. HIGH SPEED WINDS that prevent a cruise ship from docking at CastAway Cay, Disney's private island, suck! I wonder if that island really exists after hearing a man say this was his second cruise where they were not able to go to the island? Maybe it disappeared like on LOST so that was why we couldn't dock???

#3. The huge and amazing ATLANTIS RESORT in the Bahamas was super nice! The waterpark with slides going through actual shark pool was way cool!

#2. MAGICAL MOMENTS really do happen!!! The hub and I were lucky to be in the right spot at the right time. A Disney employee ended up taking us at out on a private boat to watch the Epcot fireworks show. Something that is super hard to book not to mention super expensive and we got it for free cuz someone didn't show up!! Then on the ship an employee presented my sister-in-law an actually Magical Moments certificate.

#1. Having DISNEY EBOLA is a big bummer!!! The hub, his step-brother and I got the stomach flu after this kid we were sitting next to, on the plane to Orlando, starting a marathon barfing session. He must have infected us and whamo we got sick the day after we arrived in Orlando. There is a piece of the hub's stomach in Morrocco at Epcot that I am sure is getting pretty smelly by now! We referred to our sickness as Disney Ebola because at one point I wanted to tear off my skin! As if stomach flu isn't bad enough, we both picked up a cold on the cruise ship. I need to reevaluate that wooden table I just moved into my health room. Wood is not feng shui for that room. I need to move it or put a cure in there!

I am very interested with #9 the Disney deluxe meal plan. What do you think? Is my eating skill up to challenge?
You might be the only person who would be able to accomplish this feat!

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

Surfing Goat Diary

We left the store and headed to the Surfing Goat Diary, again, this was a second trip for us but what was different this time is that we scheduled an hour long tour. Last time we arrive right before closing and were rushed. We spent a fair amount of time there exploring before the tour. We tried their cheesecake, we met the cats and dogs that roamed the place, we played in the playground, we pet and fed the baby goats that were penned up, and pursued the little store. Penny was eager to get her hands on the chocolate goat milk truffles. I must admit they did look good. I had my eyes on a t-shirt and a mug. Our tour started at 3:30pm that day and we met all the goats and learned all about the farm. But the most exciting part of the tour was getting the opportunity to milk the goats. Penny was quite a good milker. A friend later reminded me that Penny was breastfed (wink, wink). By the time the tour ended we were extremely hot. Maui was hot but also humid. We were ready to...

Vaccine Part 1

As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen.  If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public.  Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me.  Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....
