Yeah, I know we spent two weeks in Disney World about six months ago. I know that. It was a great trip.
However, the minute we got home, Jen and the kids started fantasizing/planning the next trip. Initially I had talked them into going to Disneyland in California for the next trip. That was tentatively scheduled for mid-September, and it was going to be another huge two week deal. We never booked anything, but we did get far enough to put in vacation time requests at work. Harry wasn’t going to be able to go with us due to school, but Bellana was planning to go. Unfortunately some work issues arose, mostly pertaining to the amount of time we were asking for, and we decided to scrap the plan.
Then a few days ago Jen was on a Disney World forum and she read posts from people who live in the Philadelphia area taking weekend trips to Disney World. They jump on a plane after work on Friday, fly for a couple of hours, then fly home on Sunday night. That’s insane, isn’t it?
Isn’t it?
Now Philly is a whole ton closer to Orlando than Boston. We are a little too far away to pull off a trip that short. Having said that though… what about a three day weekend? What about a four day weekend? What if we fly after work on a Thursday and then fly home on a Monday? We could have a long weekend at Disney World and only take two days off from work.
What if we planned a trip to Orlando in September and stayed at a mid-level resort? Say the Port Orleans Riverside? What if it were just me and Jen because the kids can’t quite make it work with their schedules. We’re a lot farther away than Philly, and the kids are a lot farther away than we are. Also, what if the day after we got there, the Friday, there was a Magic Kingdom after hours event similar to the after hours events we have gone to on our last couple of trips?
I guess there are only two questions left then. First, what new wider angle lens do I buy for my Z5 to use on this trip, and do I bring a film camera too? A third question would be, how many times do we ride Rise of the Resistance? What’s the over/under on the maximum number of times we could ride it in one four day weekend?
One more question could be, are we serious? That one I can answer… Yes. Yes we are.
