Florida Heat and Humidity and fireworks

Its amazing how hot and humid it has been here in the Disne.y World area for the past 3 weeks. Great pool weather with temperatures in the 90s.

Enjoyed a beautiful Thursday evening watching the Magic Kingdom fireworks with a full moon in the background from the Polynesian Resort.

To some, a vacation in Florida is an unbridled adventure. It's all exciting.
To those of us who live two hours from the mouse, it's a bit of a yawner.

For memorable, I look more for something like:
"Stumbled into Goofy and landed him flat on his behind" or
"Car did a 180 on an I-4 on-ramp in a rainstorm; no one hurt."
.

The first comment made me laugh and the second, Ive seen that. Buckets of rain.

Sorry Mickey Fans. Im not one of you..... but would go there if my grandchildren asked me to. I would be one of the adults acting like a child so my gk's would laugh at me.

So many people think that Mickey is the only thing in Florida....so sad :wall:

Florida is such a wonderful state and has so much to offer. We go there every year for weeks at a time and never tire of your state. I hope that others explore the wonders of Florida....or maybe not.

You are absolutely correct! We used the computers to print out our boarding passes when we checked out September 20. The new houses are the best ever.
