Honeymoon Is Over
May. 28th, 2012 07:58 pmStu and I are now back from Disney World and while we had a blast at Disney World, we are so very happy to be home again. I missed my laptop and May weather that is not hot and boiling.
Overall it was fantastic! I could probably spend hours talking about all the things we did. We did most of the Magic Kingdom on the Wednesday, but then went back on Friday to catch a few attractions we didn't have time for. I got to meet Merida and found an Angus horse doll, but sadly there was not Merida plushie for sell there. Turns out, those are only being sold in the Disney stores, not the parks which is weird. @_@
One neat thing that both Stu and I got a big kick out of was this interactive game they included in the park. To put it simply, you are given spell cards and help Merlin protect the Magic Kingdom from Hades and other Disney villains he recruited (Jafar, Cruella, Dr. Facilier, etc). You're then given a map that marks places in the park where a portal will open and you can cast spells to fight villains.
It was really fun, and someone told me they're thinking of making an actual Wii game out of it and I hope that's true. I got to defeat Maleficent with Eve's Laser from Wall-e. It was totally cool!
We also saw the Muppet 3D show twice, Fantasmic at Hollywood Studios, went around Animal Kingdom and Epcot, it was great. Stu and I also got to be really cheesy and share a lady and the tramp spaghetti kiss at Tony's Square (which is a restaurant based from the one in the movie.)
I will say though, I am SO GLAD I never went to Disney World as a kid and even though Stu and I would like a second visit someday, we're not taking any young kids with us. First of all, there is so much detail that a person just wouldn't be able to fully appreciate until they were older.
However, the biggest reason is how much stress is just causes for kids. With the heat, crowds and long lines it's a rather stressful place for a kid. I lost count on how many tantrums or crying breakdown I heard.
With that said, I would so never go to Disney World during the busy season. We went during one of the least busiest periods, so I don't even want to think about what the regular seasons are like.

Off To Disney World And Beyond
May. 21st, 2012 12:14 pmOh my gosh, what an amazing week. Megs and Mike are going to head back home in a few hours, and the whole thing has been a blast.
Stu and I spent Thursday showing them and Oldrik around downtown Fredericton and exploring shops like Chic Geek, Endeavours, etc. Friday the whole was fun and crazy since it was the day before the wedding and all of my and Stu's relatives were landing. We spent the evening over at Stu dad's place where they hosted a barbeque to welcome everyone.
Stu then stayed at his dad's over night and spent his bachelor night have a Dungeon and Dragons night with his brothers, Oldrik and Jon. Mom, Megs, my aunts, grandmother and I spent Saturday getting the reception hall ready before we went to get our hair done and ready.
Then of course we had the wedding which was incredible. My minister's speech was so heart warming and touching she almost had everyone crying. I'm so glad we had her did, she's a close friend of my family so she knew Stu and I really well and the vows fitted Stu and I perfectly.
Then on Sunday, my mom held a family brunch so Stu and I could open our wedding gifts with our family watching. I'm overwhelmed with the gifts we received, hopefully Stu and I will have our own place by next summer.
Tomorrow, Stu and I are off to Disney World, but neither of us are bringing our laptops with us, so we'll be offline for a week.
I do have pictures to show, but to tie you guys over until I get back, here are some awesome shots that Megs took with her camera.
