Did it last a long time? Everyone says that the storms never last long, and we had an ADR for Tuskerhouse, so we decided to stick it out and see if it was just a short burst, but it rained the whole day. When we got there in the morning it was so overwhelmingly hot and humid...our clothes were just CLINGING to us, so all of us were super happy to get soaked on Kali...except DS. I had packed ponchos, so we had dried off by the time it started raining and we put the ponchos on, but we missed one fastpass because it was raining so hard we'd have been soaked even with the ponchos, and we waited until it slowed down a bit...I changed the fastpass so it worked out, but it was definitely not a short-lived storm like people say they always are. If I had it to do over, I'd probably leave the park immediately and either have some resort time and come back for dinner, or I would have tried to switch some ADRs and go to a different park until the ADR. Oh well...learning experience, right? But we had the same thing....people packed in anywhere there was a roof. I was so glad to have the MDE app because I just changed around the fastpasses and most people were just lining up for the shows in standby. The plus side was we got all the shows done the first day, so there wasn't a whole lot of must-dos for us the next AK day.

Oh no, it lasted for over an hour. It was like it sat right over the park. I can take a little bit of lightning but it was crashing all around us. Everyone was very nervous. We didn’t want to run to catch the bus, we were afraid of getting struck. After an hour, it went away and we stayed in the park. Everyone that didn’t find shelter were soaked. We got in some inside things and shops but all the little outdoor food stands started closing. Hopefully, we won’t get any of that bad weather in May this year!

Oh that reminds me.. @dryerlintfan , I showed T the photo of A’s bday party with the humane society gifts. We looked up different charities, he wants to do a soccer theme.. and give donations to “Charity Ball”... I feel a little weird asking people to bring money, so I’m trying to talk him into the humane society as well.
What do you think? Is it weird to ask for monetary donations?

What does Charity ball? Could he ask people to bring soccer supplies like a ball, goalie gloves, shin guards, socks, etc to donate? Or do they only take monetary donations? Can they donate in his name and just send a card so T knows they donated?

Well, we had 10 days at Disney, so it's not like we didn't have an opportunity to catch the things we missed. It turned out to be a great trip...just that one day was a total bust. We did go back to AK a different day and while it wasn't a bad experience, we weren't wowed. It's our least favorite park and I could skip it easily next trip except the kids want to do the wilderness explorer thing...they loved that. We DID like the one trail we did where we saw gorillas and such....that was neat, but we can do that whenever we want as we have a pass to the zoo. We could have gone to another park or gone resort hopping or something...we had options, but we were just done. DH had had to take DS out of Tough to be a Bug because he was screaming, and he had already had a meltdown earlier in the day before the storm because he got wet on Kali River and he HATES the feeling of wet clothes, so it wasn't just the storm. It was a lot of things that added up, so we went and got a good night's sleep and we were much better for it!! But if you are ever at Disney and there's a thunderstorm, don't do AK!!!

Scenes from a marriage:
Me: Good morning.
DH: I haven't decided yet.
Me: Whether it's morning or whether it's a GOOD morning?
DH: Whether it's good.
Me: Of course it's not. It's morning. It's not meant to be good.
DH: Ok....then let's call it "flubberdawhatsky"
Me: But that's just such a long name....can I just call it "Bob"?
DH: No.
Me: But, what if it doesn't answer to Flubberdawhatsky?
DH: Well, does it answer to "morning"?
Me: Um....no. It doesn't take my commands no matter what I call it. Good point.

This is what marriage looks like at 6:30a.m. At least at our house.

It delivers soccer balls to underprivileged children in other countries. Monetary donations only.. I think we’re just going to do it on our own instead of for a birthday, at least at this age.

I'm glad we had another day there too. Even the least favorite Disney park is still a Disney park and therefore, awesome. And I'd have been really disappointed if we had been left with that impression of the first day there.

That is pretty much how my husband and I are most of the time. We "get" each other. I can't imagine anyone else having quite the same sense of humor as I do, so that's pretty amazing.
