all-American vacation

It was our 2nd annual family spring break, this time to the Disney World! Oh, yes, we survived. I came back with a stiff neck, and realization that there won't be any relaxing vacation for a while. Disney, the master of American pop-culture, was also super professional in hospitality. The first day, at Hollywood Studio, Taiyo was very much determined to meet the characters of Cars. For our deepest disappointment, there were two main characters of Cars, the most commercially used on every boys' goods, there, stationary. They were there, not animated, not, talking. Taiyo and I were expecting the Cars that spoke at least like in the movie. We saw some stunt shows, and dined in a drive-in theater like restaurant, were kissed by Chip 'n' Dale, and he was too tired to go on so we headed back to the hotel. He was then energized at the kiddie pool and we spent hours there while he flirted with a cute littler girl. They had outdoor movie every night, while seeing fireworks in the background from Epcot. So the next day we had to do Magic Kingdom, their main theme park. This time I made sure to rent a stroller at the entrance, which made a huge difference to enjoy the visit. It was crowded enough, hot enough, and it was not their busiest time of the year which is the hottest time of the year. Well, my New York maneuvering skill was pretty much useless since so many areas seemed to be blocked by enormous asses and double with strollers. The large unit spanish families didn't help the congestion. The lines were long enough in most places, at least 30 minute wait, but Taiyo was mostly patient and amused other people around him. He had his first roller coaster ride, hugged Princess Merida from Brave, flied on Dumbo, twirled in a teacup, and drove a bumpy race car. So, although it was too all-American and mainstream for my taste, we had a lot of fun.
