Youngest son planned a get together for his mom, oldest brother and wife, me and him for last week in January. Great timing as while we were all at DW, we got hit with a foot of snow back home in Indiana. I only ventured down for two days. POFQ was my resort and the accommodations were fine and I was able to check in after DME ride from airport. I bought a 2 day park hopper pass. Got a chance to see the Stunt show at HS. I also saw a preview show of American Idol. The talent was descent. Nice stage. We ate at CB Old Port Royale for dinner then ventured over to MK for awhile where we all went our separate ways. I was able to do Pirates and Haunted Mansion in between Wishes. Took a few photographs and then retired for the evening. I went back to HS my second day just as the park opened and was able to walk onto Toy Story and ride it within 20 minutes. TS is still very popular. Either get a Fastpass or ride it when the park opens in the morning. I spent the afternoon at Epcot and treated everyone to dinner at Boma's and then closed out my night at Epcot for Illuminations. Got a 4:40 a.m. bus to airport the next morning. I was surprised at how many other people were headed back early as the bus was almost full. Flight back to Indy was filled with turbulence as we descended to the frozen snow covered land scape. But, the two days away from the winter weather was great. Now begins my 2 year siesta from visiting DW. I'm looking forward to see what will have changed in 2 years.
