When we were there we learned they all grow at an angle.
We're going back to the Caribbean next year.
44 hours???? Is that how far it is from Austin? 22 hours? That is rough. Makes our 13-14 hour drive seem real easy.
But, still, I'm assuming that is at the posted speed limits for the entire route (I tend not - and DWifey definitely does not - to go too much over the posted speed limits, as I'm not of fan of speeding tickets in general, especially out-of-state ones 
), and not factoring in the aforementioned potty and fuel stops, unexpected traffic or weather delays, sit down food stops that I know we would do, etc., so I'm padding it by an extra 5-3/4-ish hours.
It's a great movie, and it is amazing on the big screen. It is 93% positive on Rotten Tomatoes, the best rated movie currently on there. If you're not into it, you're not into it, and that's fine, but it's a really enjoyable film.
We still all do so much together as a family, even though they're all in their 20's now. All that investment during the earlier years has paid off. School involvement, school events, parks, museums, etc., etc., etc. 
), plus the heart and apnea monitor that would go off all night long before it needed to be recalibrated every month , and an emergency oxygen tank for a year. 
yeah, sadly still no rain here.. been still cloudy and even wind like it was going to rain. It probably already started raining in the mountains.. but not here x_x
Happy pride! Unless you're not into that kind of thing. In which case....errr....happy colorful surfboards on the beach.

Now keep in mind, one of my very BFF is a gay man, in a long term relationship long before anyone openly spoke of such. We worked side by side at Ohare for years. One of my loyalist friends forever and in the same time frame as what follows, so I so didn't care way back when who loved who. 
I did it twice changing more than half my answers the 2nd time and got Percy both times! I'll stick with Lady, thanks.
Prides Looks fun! But what follows is why I so guarded when it came to Orlando.
The only experience I had with Pride Week was at Disney way back in 1998, It wasn't fun for us. Never heard of it. It was towards the end of a two week vacation and we had no idea what was about to embark. We received by housekeeping a notice on our table that 'group' would be within the magic kingdom the next day and to anticipate heavier than usual crowds and suggested we pick a different park for a better experience. Birnbaum books didn't offer any insight in planning. But since it was the ending of our vacation we already had plans for the MK and off we went. Big mistake. My DD was oblivious age 5. My DS just coming out of 5th grade was not. There was sooo much of public display of affection happening and the genuinely confused questions my DS was having-not having a grasp on any of all that at 9. I finally had to take him over to the rifle area of Frontierland and have a little chit chat about all things he had no grasp of. He then had a tad of tactful knowledge. We got in line for the skyway. We had a group of guys immediately behind us dressed in grass skirts. Very Drunk. As the line went on one of gentleman was speaking with my son. Then he spread his grass skirt for my son and all he was wearing was the grass skirt. I had to step infront of his Dad to stop him from belting the man. So drunk he thought that was funny. My DS was in shock and stopped short of crying but so unnerved. The Kingdom was beyond filled that day with Disney Shirts and we did stop and explain to the Shirt the man exposing himself to my son. They were at a loss and beyond apologetic.
We were given some version of comp passes to Epcot. We left the MK for a swim at our resort. Bad idea. The lounge chairs and pool was a meat market of inappropriate behavior. Bless the little girl, she was oblivious but the rest of us didn't know how to function as a family. Off to Epcot we went. It was just fine because it wasn't the day there. We had passes to use and we did have at least a nice end to our next to last day and at least we could go back to the MK the next morning to try and pick up what got messed up. I can still remember how horrible all these years later how God awful that day was, never would I expect the behavior of others to make me pull my son aside and at age nine the necessity to have to explain such things to my young DS while vactioning at WDW. We vowed we'd never return to WDW during Gay Days ever ever again. We have not. Now I know the whole experience has evolved and is a non-issue all these years later and it is really a timing thing with our family that June is not a month we head to WDW or Summer for that matter.
I'm happy 'the days' have evolved from what we encountered during the launch years. Always have been curious as to how the organizers ultimately fixed all that which we encountered as a very young family.
Yikes that does sound horrible but we had the exact opposite experience in EPCOT of all parks back in 2008. We met some lovely people and had a great time that dayPrides Looks fun! But what follows is why I so guarded when it came to Orlando.
