We are home. We flew to Disney on Aug 24 and home yesterday. Kiddo is not good at flying, he threw up before we even got on the planes. But his ears only hurt on the way there so I guess that's better? He just gets very anxious and boom... He does it whether he eats or not, and prefers not to so there is nothing really to throw up. The flights were pretty good otherwise, just about 3 hours, he napped, I read. I could have watched a movie but my headphones never work properly.
We had a blast! We stayed at the All-Star Movies and were close to Music. We normally took buses back to Music as it was closer to the room. We went to all the parks, including water parks. We did all the rides, I think we maybe missed one or two that we had no interest in doing. We got to try a few we'd never done before, and we also got to check out the new Galaxy's Edge. Which was fine. We built a droid that was fun. We got a BB unit and he's a little hard to control, Jackson wants to get an R2 unit next time, we'll see! They are not cheap, especially when you factor in the exchange rate. I guess we'll see :-)
We had the quick service dining plan and while I'm not positive it was worth it, we did take advantage and it was less annoying for me when he didn't actually like what he got. He also ate a few adult meals, even though we paid kid prices for his plan. He finally found a fountain drink he likes. I think we didn't drink enough most days, but it was so nice to not carry a bunch of stuff around. We shared a few meals and didn't really spend anything on food except for one sit down meal, which wasn't very good to be honest. I think next time we will stick with the counter service meals.
I have sore feet, tired legs and oh my there was a lot of laundry from the trip! It was very hot down in Florida so we got very sweaty. And wet, it rained on us a few times. There were also a few rides that got us wet. I managed to get a bad sunburn on my face on Tuesday at the water park, it's still red and peeling, but that was the only burn so I guess that's ok.
We both felt like the trip was over super fast. We think maybe next time we'd want to do 2 weeks and take it slower. But I guess we'll see how that goes :-)
Not sure when our next trip will be, we have a cruise booked over March Break but with everything else I want to do I am not sure we'll go. Perhaps we'll do an all-inclusive this winter instead. Otherwise we have another cruise booked for December 2020 and I want to do that one for sure. Since we will probably be moving next fall, it will get expensive. The new place will require some different furniture and things. I also need a new fitbit since my broke when we got on the plane to come home. At least it survived the trip!
Jackson starts Grade 5 in a few days, he has 3 teachers from what I can tell. Hopefully he will like them, two are new to the school. He has his first male teacher. Fingers crossed for a better year.
I'll need to figure out work as well, my boss is still off (she took 5 weeks and added 3 more). I need to decide if I want to stay where I am, or change positions and move somewhere else. I'd like to be able to have more flexibility in my hours and days off. I'd like to have a more understanding boss and do something I enjoy. I go back to work Thursday, and I'll need to make some decisions then I guess.
