Our flight to FL was at 6:30pm on Saturday, giving me enough time to go to Home Depot and buy some grass seeds for our ruined grass by the street.
We don't have sidewalks on our street (we're incorporated but back 50+ years ago all the people that built on this street did not want sidewalks). I love it actually. The street is quiet and it makes our 1/2 acre lot feel even bigger. My grass on the other hand doesn't care for all the salt that lands on the edge or the idiots that can't make the turn and leave tire marks on my corner. 20 more years of buying 5 bags of top soil and $30 bags of seeds will get old, really quickly.
Anyway, we watered everything and then got ready to head out.
We arrived at the parking lot at Midway airport that looked a bit shady but I had a coupon and at $9 a day we couldn't beat it.
We slowly made our way through security just as Mr. D started to get antsy.
We had a bite to eat and as we were slowly heading towards our gate when we heard our names over the speakers. To sum it up they said we needed to get our butts by the gate because unlike O'Hare this plane was not only on time but early. The plane was practically empty, which made for a nice 2.5 hour flight. D did wonderful. He watched movies and behaved.
Our rental car took a bit longer than expected because the shuttle didn't take off and a bunch of people decided to stick around FL in hopes that it would take off in a day or so. Ya!!! It still hasn't.
We arrived at our hotel (courtesy of my great in-law's time share) and walked into a spacious one bedroom condo. I unpacked and we all passed out, together on a king size bed. :)
Sunday morning, we had reservations at 11am at Chef Mickey's. It was great food, wonderful atmosphere and a crazy bill that was worth it all.
D was not a fan of Minnie at first, but he warmed up. He knows how to play hard to get. Finally, he gave her a kiss.
Grandma and D had cupcakes for their birthdays.
One happy family. 
After our huge meal we decided to let the calories sit on our hips at the pool.
I don't remember what we did later but I think we went to Target and stocked up on some water, snacks and frozen pizza.Monday morning we headed out to Hollywood Studios, but not before we had a complimentary breakfast with a sales guy that was trying to get my in-laws to purchase another time share. They are pros at saying NO, because really, they were only interested in discounted tickets to the parks and a free meal for the family. We waited comfortably in our room when they were haggled for over an hour.
After bringing in 2 other Sr. sales guys they realized they had no chance of a sale.
Finally, we were off to the park. D did great. We enjoyed the Little Mermaid show and Disney Jr. Live on Stage (featured one of D's favorite shows, Little Einsteins) along with other things such as:
A parade,
more pictures
Star Wars stuff
We were pooped by the end of the night but we planned the next day to be filled with sunshine and plenty of water. The water park was next.D was up bright and early, doing what he does best...playing with cars.
Day 3 and 4 coming up.
