Sigh, I've been home from "home" for a week now, so I better post this before my Dory-like memory kicks in and I forget everything. This trip went by WAY too fast (don't they all). To make matters worse, both the kiddo and I had colds (hence the thread title).
Who: My mom, my 4-year old daughter (Bella) and myself
When: September 14th-20th
Where: Caribbean Beach Resort
-------------
September 12th: First day of driving. We had a nice breakfast at Cracker Barrel before our long drive from Memphis, TN to Dothan, AL. Bella and I watched Frozen (x3), Despicable Me, Lilo and Stitch, Brave, Tangled, Cinderella and Cars on the way while my madre drove.
She wasn't in the best of moods that day. Even though she has been to WDW two times prior, she thought we meant the Disney Store! Our Disney Store isn't even all that. Chill, child.
Doesn't she look comfy? What's more relaxing than having your feet propped up on pillows, eating cheez-it's and watching Disney movies for 10 hours?
We stopped at an Econo Lodge in Dothan...and had McDonald's for dinner. Um, talk about pre-gaming the food and wine fest, eh?
September 13th: For some reason or another, my mom had it in her mind that if we arrived early on our check-in day, that it'll be ready for us in the morning. I kept trying to tell her it'll be our luck that it won't be ready til the evening, but whatevs. Spoiler alert: I was right.
We made a pit stop in Marianna, FL for some lunch at Po Folks. It's normally pretty yummy, but it was a miss this trip. We eventually stopped in Ocala, which was only a 4 hour drive from Dothan. We had Logan's for dinner. Yumyumyum. My favorite restaurant ever! Those rolls are my weakness.
Walgreens was calling our name. Before this trip was said and done, I spent around $150 on medications of all sorts - cold, nausea, headache, chafing, sore throat, band aids. It was ridiculous! I was in PAIN this trip with all the walking, plus Bella had a cold that seemed to vanish as soon as she stepped foot on Disney property. I wasn't so lucky.
Next: Check-in Day!!
