This week is supposed to be my week of mixing business with
pleasure. Instead, I took care of all of the business this afternoon and will
be heading back to NJ tomorrow instead of Friday. Mom has surgery scheduled for
tomorrow after a postponement today, so I need to get back sooner than planned.
Today I woke up in Bonita Springs after a night out in
Naples. After a tasty breakfast at Waffle House, I headed up to Orlando to
handle the business that brought me down here. I checked into Disney’s All-Star
Movies Resort and then went over to Disney’s Polynesian Resort for a few drinks
and dinner. Before heading back to the Magic Kingdom for a bus back to my
hotel, I went to the Polynesian Resort beach to watch the Magic Kingdom
fireworks show called Wishes.
I’ve been at Disney many different times a year, including
the Christmas week, which is their busiest. But tonight they must’ve been
mobbed inside. When I got there to head to the busses, the lines for the
monorails and boats were back up all the way to the park exit. It took 10
minutes to walk about 40 yards. I realized that the boat launches were so busy
because the water electrical light parade was passing on the lake, and people
wanted to see it.
