Last year, the entire side of my wife's family planned to go to Orlando to attend a graduation for my wife's cousin. Coincidentally, the trip was the day after we were getting married (date wasn't set until we picked up the marriage license, they were booked until the 30th day and the license was only good for 30 days!) and we thought that this would serve as an impromptu honeymoon (since we already had that trip booked for July)!
It started off staying at the Mariott hotel in the PHL airport. The hallway was noisy all night and we had an early flight so sleep was imperative (and we didn't get much - AND IT WASN'T because we were on honeymoon!)
We arrived in Orlando and went to the grad party. Ok, obligation completed, now on to the honeymoon!
Well, honeymoon it wasn't. We got shackeled with the 2 younger cousins of the family when the aunts and uncles got loaded. We had to take them back to our room at the All Star Sports. Well, in the middle of the night, we discover that the 8 yr old has a tendency to wet the bed (lazy and is enabled by the mother). To make matters worse, he wet his clothes that he fell asleep in which were his only clothes for the day!! We woke up the mother early in the morning and made her bring a change of clothes.
When she arrived, she told the kids that they could stay with us if they wanted (without asking us!!). We intended to go to the park that day so we had to bring them along. We took them to AK and back to the resort and aside from being pokey, they were good. Then in the evening, we decided to go over to MK.
I was happy, the kids were good for the most part and I was seeing the parks. That is until the 10 yr old wouldn't ride any ride we wanted to go on. She cried in the queue for Pirates, wouldn't get near the haunted mansion. Wanted to go on Splash (go figure!) but the line wasn't moving so we ditched that. We went on IASW and Teacups. Then they wanted to go on Indy SPeedway. I was not waiting in line for go karts for an hour. So my wife took them while I went off. I went on TTA and that was about it. Everything was too long of a wait. Back to the resort for another night with the kids because, you guessed it, the aunt and uncle were loaded again. (OH YEAH, he wet the bed again - this time I lost it and called him "y Boy")
Now was the last day before we had to leave, it was Memorial Day and the parks were crowded so we decided to hang by the pool all day. Later in the evening, my MIL and FIL decided to have the family get together to celebrate our wedding and have dinner. We went to the 1900 Park Fare. It was good until my GMIL decided that we needed a wedding cake and bought the most hideous store bought nastiest supermarket cake as a wedding cake. My wife was in tears. She didn't want a big deal made of the wedding (she would have been Bridezilla so I was OK with that) which is why we got married the way we did. Not a big ceremony, just something at the Justice of the Peace. That did not make things sit too well for the entire trip
Before we knew it, our long weekend in WDW was over and we were heading back to Philly on Tuesday and wanting to do it all over again. But alas, there was hope on the horizon in July! (or was there??!!?? - let's just say that Montezuma found his way to Punta Cana, DR!!) :hurl: and something else too nasty to put here
