My friend, Karin's, blog post says it all - really it does! Please read it here. You will absolutely roll laughing. But, oh my! She's so right!
We planned our trip to Disney in January for multiple reasons. I had a major conference for my business in Orlando, my birthday is in January, Santa brought our family annual passes, and it is usually above 50 degrees there and below 50 degrees here. And to be completely honest - we just love Disney.
A New Year's trip to get the year started right.
Um, but I didn't know Florida was scheduled to have a cold snap!
Guess what I had forgotten to pack: hats, gloves, heavy coats, scarves, ear muffs, thick socks. Guess what I DID pack: short sleeved shirts, light jackets, and flip flops. Within the first two hours, I was wishing for some Disney magic to make my cashmere sweaters and new Burberry muffler I had gotten for Christmas to appear in a poof. Believe me, I blinked hard hoping they would be there if I kept trying. Nope, nothing.
We, along with all of the other Disney'ers trying to escape the frigid air from wherever they traveled from, flocked to the stores of Main Street and scooped up all the lovely hats, scarves and gloves we could find. By SpectroMagic time, Main Street USA looked more like a ski resort main street.
By the end of SpectroMagic, we were wishing the stores also sold some thermal underwear.
Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry you were here for the cold front. Last year I was in a rented RV in the middle of nowhere (also known as Florida Panhandle state park) when the heat went out in the RV! We froze all night and had to go to Walmart to buy coats to make it through the rest of the trip. Needless to say our RV adventure was not as much fun as we anticipated.
