First, another encounter with swarming ants. This time they are coming through a crack in a window. There are thousands of ants covering the window. We put out an ant trap, but it was ignored. So, another call to the exterminator. Keeping bugs out of the house is a continual battle.
Second, I have been having problems with the house's Internet connection. It randomly restarts all throughout the day. I complained to the management company who promised to have the cable company fix it. Then, in the middle of a meeting the Internet stopped completely! I called the cable company and spent an hour troubleshooting. Then, a knock on the door, and there was the manager with a new Internet modem. Apparently he went across town to pick up a modem at which point the cable company immediately yanked our modem offline. So, real life problems continue even though you live at Disney.
Next, I left a couple of days with nothing to do. And with so many options of how to spend today, we couldn't find anything that interested us! 500 TV channels and nothing is on? 500 Disney options and nothing to do. We settled on dinner at Port Orleans, boat ride to downtown Disney, and then tour downtown Disney.
Next, living at Disney means getting used to people who work at a slower pace. There is a saying in the south: it will get done eventually. Whether checking out at the grocery store or going to the drive thru, everything takes five times longer. We were in a drive thru for twenty minutes to get an order of French fries.
Finally, living at Disney means getting used to crowds. There are crowds at the store, at the restaurants, in the parks, and downtown Disney. I don't just mean a lot of people. I am talking about elbow to elbow, running into each other, no way through, why are you touching me, stop blocking the way, crowds. Downtown Disney is under major construction and it is causing problems with the flow of people.
Castles and princesses aren't the reality of living at Disney.
