We just got in from the drive from *ell.  We left at @4pm on 10/29, and arrived around noon on 10/30.  Can you say SORE?

Coming through Downtown I noticed that they are once again working on the Holiday Inn.  Seems like years ago that it closed down.  Actually I think I am right… it was years ago.

We were put in the 54 building.  We have never been in that area before.  The room is slightly different from what I remember.  Upon arriving my daughter started playing with the plastic knobs on the new arrival… IPod alarm clocks.  I had to get packed, and the wife had a need for some “Much Needed” sleep.

Well, I will update you all after I get a nap in, and we decide everything that we are doing.

We are making last minute preparations for our departure for Walt Disney World.  Where would you put the luggage on these cars?  I wish…

If all goes right I will be out of here by 1pm. (This is barring waiting for the housesitter) We don’t have to wait for our friends, as they are driving casual, and leaving before us.  I will probably still get to Disney before them.  Wife is currently making final preparations… vacuuming the car, and cleaning the windshield on car.  The little one has been hard at work between school, and helping out with her packing.  She asked if I had one of my ipods still so that she could listen to music, but unfortunatelly I don’t.  She will have to work with whatever I can give her.

I just found out that we are going to go to Mickey’s Not So Scary event in the Magic Kingdom.

Well, I will definitelly be updating everyone while we are away.  I will try to get some videos, and postings up shortly after we arrive.

Don’t forget to send me your requests.  If there is a LEGAL way to get something, or get information, then I will do it.

This year we went to Disney World for Easter.  There was a Easter festival in the Disney area so we took the little one since she was missing out on everything that was going on at home.  There were a lot of area businesses there giving away free goodies to the children, and offering services out to the adults.

While waiting for our little one to finish up one of the activities a back doctor offered to give me a back checkup.  I agreed to it thinking that it wouldn’t hurt for me to do this.  He said my back was a bit out, and I should think about seeing someone.  I told him that I had seen doctors several times for a blown disc, and that I just couldn’t afford the time out of work anymore, and the pain had gone away for the most part.

A month or two later I got a call from a medical office in my area asking if my problem was still there, and if I wanted to have a doctor get in touch with me to see if anything could be done.

For some reason it almost seemed like I was a health insurance lead, and everyone wanted to take care of me.

Was it just my luck, or are doctors really starting to care?  Could it be a paycheck that they care about?

Well, we leave for Disney World in just about 1 week.  While there I will be bringing you some reviews of some of the dining, and just about anything else you can imagine, or want.  We will be going to see the newest of DVC resorts…Bay Lake Towers, and we will be staying in the Animal Kingdom Villas, so we will look at that.  We will do an extensive review of the dining plan.

We will be blogging from Disney nightly from the 30th of October through the 6th of November.

If you have any questions that you want answered then please feel free to leave a comment here, and I will make a point of getting the answers that you deserve.  I will make seperate postings for each of the questions.
