As we fly home to reality (yes I have discovered United Airlines Wi-Fi) it is time to reflect on the last fun-filled week. We had a lot of family togetherness yet we managed to get along although three of the group loved to play, "let's pick on mom!" Sometimes it was deserved, most of the time it was not. Anyway, there are some observations we made throughout the week:
- Approximately 1/2 of the world's population is in Orlando with most of them visiting Harry Potter.
- It is an urban myth that Florida is a warm place to visit.
- There are no driving rules in Florida or no one there has read them.
- Disney is still the leader in amusement park management. Universal is fun but you can see the difference in talent and park management.
- Spare change does not exist. Either you spend it at the toll roads or you spend it at yet another gift shop.
- All rides end at the gift shop
But to be positive, Disney, Universal, Sea World, and all the other numerous attractions in the Orlando area entertain and bring together families from all over the world every day. We saw more smiles than frowns, especially on us, even though the weather was not the best and the crowds could be overwhelming. It is a wonderful thing to be able to overlook the negatives because there were so many positives that are now fantastic memories of our week together!
