No, December wasn’t delayed, the TR was! :lol:
So, despite all my best intentions of not taking Morgan out of school any more now that he’s in High School, I had a chat with his Vice Principal who told me the school wouldn’t object to a week off until next year when he’s in Grade 11 [a Junior for my American friends]. So… I booked a trip for WDWCelebrations’ “Holiday Hoopla” event.
30 November
We left Ottawa bright and early, flying by way of Dulles to arrive at MCO at 2:30PM. It was a wonderful 85F as we got off the aircraft. We were off the plane and to DME in no time and checked in at Wilderness Lodge by 4. I’d booked a bunk bed room, only to find that Morgan has grown more than I thought and doesn’t really fit in their bunk beds. He complained briefly, but when I offered to see if they had a different room available he said he’d be OK. We were a bit weary from our travels, so rather than head to the parks for a brief visit before dinner, we just lazed around the room and watched all the Disney Resort channel loops until our luggage was delivered. We then unpacked and toured the resort a bit. We had 7PM reservations at Artist Point, so we headed there. We both ordered the Mushroom Soup Appetizer and the Beef Tenderloin steak… Best steak we’ve ever eaten on property bar none! :slurp: After dinner we decided to crash for the night and have a fresh start in the morning.
