Disney Cruise and Vacation wrap up

September 4, 2012 | Disney, family, Travel

A huge thank you for all the congrats I got on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and on the blog about my race. I can’t wait to share my recap with you in a few days!

This will be my final post on my Disney vacation from May, then I can start recapping my Disneyland trip! We left off last time after checking into our hotel, the Grand Floridian and going to Animal Kingdom. The next day, my parents arrived and we went to Hollywood Studios.

We rode our favorite rides, and that night we had dinner at California Grill. We had a window seat and had a gorgeous view of the sunset

After dinner we walked out onto the deck to get a better look at the Magic Kingdom.

The next day we went to the Magic Kingdom early and were able to knock out several rides before it got busy.

We had lunch at Liberty Tree Tavern so I could get my favorite dessert, Ooey Gooey Toffee cake

That night we had dinner at Whispering Canyon Cafe

We took the boat to the Wilderness Lodge

And we celebrated my parents anniversary.

My stomach felt really full and I had a sick feeling on the boat on the way back and thought I had just eaten too much. However, the feeling got worse and worse, and after a couple hours, I threw up for the first time. It was not pleasant. You can see my food poisoning post here.

I have never been so sick in all my life and wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. I threw up twice and was nauseated so so badly for DAYS. I also had…other problems for over a week with keeping food in me. That was the worst part. The whole last day I stayed in bed then we went home the next day. I didn’t eat hardly anything for over a week, just gatorade and crackers and I lost about 7 pounds. It. was. awful. Not exactly a good way to end our trip that’s for sure. Anyone who has ever had a bad case of food poisoning will understand, and I hope I never get it again! I literally thought I was dying, and even told Bobby I was sorry I was dying and leaving him. I felt that bad! We ALMOST went to the ER but I stuck it out.

Aside from the illness we had an amazing trip up to that point and it was a great way to kick off the summer!

QOTD: Have you ever had food poisoning? What did you do?

    I’ve never had food poisoning, but my mom and dad both did once! It was awful, and I felt so bad for them. I had never felt so helpless in my entire life! They couldn’t keep anything down and were in the fetal position for a good three to four days. Hope you’re feeling better! 🙂

    Looks like so much fun! So sorry about the food poisoning! That is awful! I’ve had a slight case of it and Christopher has had a really bad case. Definitely not cool! Glad you are feeling better!

    I feel for you! I had food poisoning one time while I was at a conference. I promise I was in the bathroom like 40 times total over about 18 hours!!!! NEVER want to feel that bad again. 🙂

#ad For too long, retirement has been painted as “slowing down.” But for me? It’s the opposite.

I see retirement as the start of bold adventures, family memories, and the freedom to keep moving and exploring — whether that’s traveling, staying active, or saying yes to new experiences.

✨I’m protecting my passion 

Because the people I love, the life I’ve built, and the retirement I want — it’s all part of my life’s work. And @Prudential can help protect it.

How will you #ProtectYourLifesWork and passions in retirement?
