Week 2 From the Pegasus Family

[Pegasus928]

Well here we are - back at home and struggling to remember every single detail of the last 2 weeks so we can hold on to all the memories. Hopefully reading some of the questions and comments on here will jog some of them back to life.
So - onto what we got up to on our second week.

Monday - Hummer Day. Me and Mrs Pegasus snuck out to pick it up and left it on the drive while we went in and got the kids, and Grandma, out of the pool and ready to go out. I then went out with the camcorder and waited for the kids to catch their reaction - and we wasn't dissappointed. The eldest - Bradley - nearly burst into tears (He's the biggest hummer fan we know) Spent the day 'cruising' and having to drag the kids out of the car everytime we stopped. Every poor employee of every shop/restaurant we went into got the full details regarding the car until we eventually got back to the villa late that night. (Brad asked if he could sleep in it but we drew the line there).

Tuesday - Had to take the Hummer back (which didn't go down to well - but we survived) and then went off to Universal Studios to go on some of the rides we hadn't done yet - and couple that we have done before. Went back for a repeat performance with Donkey (he is located opposite the exit to Shrek4D). Each time is a totally different experience and I can't recommend it enough. Once we'd had our fill of this park we went across to Islands of Adventure and spent a bit of time there, and still had time to get back to the villa for a bit of sunning and a chill in the pool.

Wednesday - A villa day. Didn't do much other than sit by the pool all day. Went out for tea and ended up at Olive Gardens. We all had different opinions on this one - the kids loved it and ate pretty much everything, whereas Mrs Pegasus left there feeling bloated and uncomfortable even though she didn't eat a fraction of what was on her plate.

Thursday - A day out and about. The kids wanted to play crazy golf at Pirates Cove, and who are we to argue, amongst other things. We ended the day at Old Town for bike night. As I am the bike fan I got more out of this than the others, and was amazed at the variety on show. Definately a must see event for anyone over there that has a weakness for these things.

Friday - Our last full day. Went out early for a walk round Downtown Disney then back down I-Drive. Had lunch at Bahama Breeze. This was our second visit and is fast becoming one of a favourite places. Mrs Pegasus had salmon on both trips and says it is fantastic. Went back to the villa for some last minute sunning and to start cleaning and packing.

Saturday - Last day. Went down I-Drive for what seemed like the last supper. Had a play on the go-karts amongst other things. Typically this was the hottest day of the 2 weeks (94F on the car thermometer) so we popped to Dairy Queen before heading for the airport.

The flight was on time and uneventful, followed by a long tiring drive home.

We are already trying to figure out when we can get our next trip in but it looks like we will have to wait until sometime in 2008. It seems a lifetime away but knowing how much planning has to go into having a successful trip I'm sure we'll be kept pretty busy.

For anyone new reading this we do have a website and we have put a lot of pictures from our trip on there - feel free to DM for the address.

Thanks to everyone on here for all the advice you have given us, and for all the kind comments from those of you that have visited our site and kept up with what we have been up to.

We can't wait to do it all again, and you can be sure that if we have any questions we'll be here to ask them.

Just read your trip reports and you have certainly packed a lot into your holiday - but then that's what Flroida is all about - so much to see so little time!! We fly out in 10 days and cannot wait to be there. I hate post-Florida blues but the best medicine is to plan the next trip no matter how far in advance it may be.

Thanks for the report.

Just had a look at 2006 photo's on your site, enjoyed them very much [msnsmile2]

[Pegasus928]

Thanks for that Sue

I enjoyed doing them while we were away - kept me busy whilst waiting for the women in the villa to finish getting ready to go out - and the family loved the fact that they could see what we were up to and could use the site to keep in touch with us.

It's nice that other people enjoyed them as well.

We arrived in the departure lounge on Saturday as the Manchester flight was leaving the stand. Decided to watch it take off, didn't realise that someone from this site was on there[:O]

[eagleydo]

Enjoyed your reports, love your website[clap]We always have to go to Pirates Cove for some crazy golf.

[Pegasus928]

Tell you what bargainqueen, this site has so many members it wouldn't suprise me if every flight to and from Florida had a member or 2 on board.

And thank you eagleydo for your kind comments about our website.
It's a labour of love but so worth it in the end. I would encourage anyone to do it. It's not as hard as you would think and gives a whole new lease of life to your pics and videos. If nothing else your family can choose what pics they want to look at, in their own time, without having to sit through hundreds of snaps in one painfully long evening (although they would never admit to that would they [msnwink])
