I woke this morning to find one of the GFI electrical circuits in the house wasn't working. After unsuccessfully playing with the GFI reset button, I headed to the garage looking for the electric box. Sure enough, the breaker was thrown. I wanted to know more about living in Florida and this is about as real as it gets! Or... Does it get even better?
An overloaded shelf in the refrigerator broke sending a wine bottle crashing to the floor. The bottle exploded and sprayed the house with wine and glass. We found glass in parts of the house that we can't explain how it got there! It took us an hour to clean up this gigantic mess.
We finally have our prescription script so we needed to go to the pharmacy. Between all the morning problems and the pharmacy it was going to be late afternoon by the time we headed to the parks so we decided to trade Hollywood Studios and go to Animal Kingdom (our least favorite park). When we went to Animal Kingdom in 2011 and 2013 we couldn't ride anything due to massive thunderstorms that hit both years. What is the chance that would happen in 2014 too?
The storm came before we even left the house. At 2pm a large thunderstorm dumped rain for 90 minutes, temporarily flooding the neighborhood roads.
When the storm let up we ventured out to get the prescription filled. We have been waiting since July 2 to get this medicine. The first pharmacy didn't have the medication so we had to go a pharmacy out in Celebration. Forty minutes later the we finally had the prized medication!
On the way back to the house we stopped at a grocery store named The Marketplace near the Outback restaurant on rt 192. Be warned: things in this grocery store are twice the normal price! We should have went a mile further up the road to the Publix. It was scary how expensive this store was.
We returned home in time for dinner and since we had done nothing all day we decided to grab dinner off property. When we got ready to leave the restaurant I noticed a giant five inch spider! My kids freaked out and started yelling. This caused everyone on that side of the restaurant to scream and start running. Now, big spiders are a fact of life if you want to live at Disney. I walked over, took a picture, and ten stomped it into the carpet. That's the end of the spider story.
We left the restaurant near 8pm and didn't know what to do. Would it even be worth it to go to a park? And which one? We decided to go to MGM (aka Hollywood Studios) to knock a couple rides off our "must do" list.
We parked our car near a couple with five small children. I didn't see it but my family said the husband punched the wife in the face. Of course Linda is thinking "Do you really want to move someplace where that happens at Disney?" I didn't see it and by the time my family explained it to me, the guy had left for the tram with several of his kids and the lady was calling for him, following, "Do you want to wait for the rest of your family?"
I don't know anything about this family and I don't know much about domestic violence but I believe that if this guy hit his wife once he has hit her many times. We hurried to the tram. When we got there, the guy was leaving the tram area with several of the kids and heading back to the truck. About twenty feet behind him the lady was following with the rest of the children and yelling at her husband. I was concerned so I reported it to the tram operator who radioed security.
When we arrived at Hollywood Studios, we knew they were doing something related to the frozen movie but we were completely unprepared for what Disney treated us for. The entire Main Street of the park (from the hat to the gate) was stuffed with people listening to a DJ remix the Frozen songs. Large screen TV's appeared along the road and a huge screen on stage. When the DJ ended, a band came out and the entire place was hopping. After that came... Well... I am not going to ruin the surprise. I will just say that it involved Frozen princesses, fireworks, and snow. Real snow! In July! This was the second night of the Frozen Summer Party and it was incredible. It made the entire day worth it.
And, oh yea. We saw Fantasia too.
That describes our day, filed under the topic: what would it be like to live at Disney?
