Disney World: Sans kids

So Aaron was part of a group from the clinic here at Ellsworth that got selected for "Customer Service Training" at Disney World.  It sounds kinda funny, but I also got a trip to Disney World while he was "learning".  Lucky for me Aaron's mom was willing to come out for some grandma time to make it all possible. 

We got there Monday afternoon.  We got to stay at the Disney Yacht  Club Resort.  I did not realize that Disney had so many resorts on the complex. 

Class started Tuesday evening so Tuesday-day we went to Blizzard Beach, home a super long lazy river and 120 ft drop water slide.  Water parks are fun with your kids, but being an adult on the loose in a water park is just awesome

I you look just behind us you can see the big slide. 

Wednesday Aaron, Lance and Darwin (the other two who went with Aaron) had class all day and I hung out at the pool and read the "Book Thief" (a MUST read!).  Aaron took a field trip to the laundry facility where Disney does 1.2 million pounds a month.  That evening we headed to Epcot.

Thursday was the same for me although I did buy the "never ending refill" mug at the pool and definitely got my money's worth.  Aaron took a back stage tour at the Magic kingdom.  That night we headed to Hollywood Studios and hit the Tower of Terror and I almost threw up on the Star Tours ride.

 Friday Aaron graduated (again!) from the Disney School of Leadership Excellence.  We then headed to our last night at the Magic kingdom.  We got to see the new Rapunzel princess so that was cool. 

Graduation #7 since high school

I had to take the picture through a window since the line to see her was 2 hours!

I was a great vacation for Aaron and I, but I realized that I'm such a mom since by Thursday afternoon I was wishing the kids were with us.  There is definitely a magic at Disney.
