This was one of those wonderful weekends you hate to see end. We spent the days at Disney. I know….again.

Our trusty crowd level gauge came through with numbers so wonderful we couldn’t not go. Saturday was a 2 and Sunday was a 1. Those scores are out of 10 mind you. Saturday we did the Hollywood Studios and it was slow slow slow. We lasted all the way until the afternoon monsoon washed us away and home for dinner. The Toy Story ride was closed for a little refurbishment, but the girls got over that when they met Buzz and Woody again. Besides, we’ll be back. We also tried our very best to sneak in our youngest into the Star Wars ride. SOOOOO close but the width of one college girl finger was the difference and she could not ride. It was sad for her and for us as well. She would have loved it I think. On Tuesday of next week, it closes it’s current version forever. It will be updated and re-built with newer footage and 3-D technology. She will be tall enough then, but she’ll miss out on the one we all know.

Sunday brought an un-scheduled visit to the Magic Kingdom. It wasn’t really planned but I had thought all week we would be going. So when the girls came up with the idea on their own over breakfast, I was all too eager to say yes! Mom decided to stay home and get some stuff done, so it was a win-win for all. An unscheduled Daddy Day to the Magic Kingdom is always a good idea. It was as empty as I’d ever seen it. The longest we waited for anything was the Buzz ride and that was a whopping 15 minutes. No fast passes needed on this day as we walked on to everything. We even had our OWN boat for the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. The sun was shining, the breeze was constantly flowing and the temperature ever passed 90 degrees. It. Was. Perfect.

Speaking of perfect, my 6 year old nearly was perfect on that Buzz ride. She somehow, and I swear it was all by herself as I was helping her sister play, scored a nearly perfect score of 999,999. In order to beat her score I will have to use Google to find all the secret high scoring spots she found all by herself. I was pretty impressed, but not all that surprised. She’s pretty good at video games.

Next weekend we will venture North to the gulf coast I love so very much. A weekend visit with the family and I am very much looking forward to playing around with my favorite niece! With a face like this though, how could I not be excited?
