Well I give up, so in no particular order are the Epcot pics...well just a few of them.

So about the trip...Thursday morning we got up at about 7am so we could be at Disney at 8am even though they don't open till 9am. This was our plan to beat the kids to the park. And might I add it worked, we were totally done with rides by 2pm. After wandering around to all the rides{which Jeremy spent the whole time saying "at six flags they have this"} that we wanted to ride in Future World we headed over to the World Showcase. Being the foodie couple that we are we decided to get something to eat at every country. Well we did skip a few but we managed to get a drink in Mexico, a pretzel in Norway, nothing in China{too common}, a dessert in France, skipped the food in Japan cause we were hurrying to get to another exhibit, a bratwurst in Germany, skipped gelato in Italy once we realized we could get that brand here, skipped America altogether{didn't hang around for anything}, fish and chips in England{yum yum}, and got to Canada only to realize it was way out of our price range.

While we were in France eating dessert it started to rain, so we waited, and waited, and waited, and it never went away. We talked to two ladies about cruises for about 15 minutes before giving up and running to England. I didn't realize how far the run was and my pretty little white shorts were completely see through by the time we made it. After hopping through a couple stores soaking wet we found out that Winnie the Pooh was supposed to make an appearance, but never did; then the 60's rock concert{that looked very Beatles like} was supposed to preform, but they didn't show up either. Stupid rain.

After that episode I insisted we find Minnie and Mickey and convinced Jeremy to wait in line forever to get pics clear on the other side of the park{by evening the place was over run with kids}. Which we did, soaking wet and looking like we were pulled behind the boat instead of riding in it to Future World.

Lucky enough we made it back to England in time to get fish and chips for dinner and watch the fireworks...or so we thought. As soon as we were done eating{on the ground in the middle of the sidewalk for that matter} it started pouring again, so we ran into the pub and crashed some unsuspecting family's reserved {expensive} table and finished our night at Epcot.

As a side note:
There would have been a day 6 but while waiting in line Jeremy starting talking about going to Savannah, GA to eat lunch at the Lady and Son's and I was so tired I talked him out of it. Now you know I'm tired if I don't wanna do something Paula Dean related. It was just after realizing how early we would have to get up to be there when they opened to ensure we actually got seated{they don't do reservations and there is a chance you won't get seated} I couldn't stand the thought of traveling anymore than we had to. So I opted to sleep in and just go home. I missed my dogs and couldn't stand the thought of adding a mile extra to our already long drive...so we came home. I regret not going to the Lady and Son's but there is always next summer, and always another vacation.

After all that driving I have seriously dreaded driving anywhere, even to the store, the gym, church, and I'm sure if someone was a mile away and said drive here and I'll give you money I might just say maybe later. Okay maybe not, but you get the point.

honeymoon/the traveling adventure day 4

Yes as you guessed the camera was still dead at this point.

Wednesday morning we got up, had breakfast, and sat in the lounge until they called our floor to exit the boat. Exciting...no way. You would have thought that boat was on fire the way I was trying to get off of it. I think I knocked over three kids with my suitcase runnnig through the place, okay not really, but I get so far ahead of Jeremy that it took a minute to find him.

After that we got our car and headed off with our Garmin in search of somewhere to change the oil. Yes I was so busy the week of the wedding I failed to get it done. You can by now tell the kind of lovey dovey honeymooners. I mean seriously who gets their oil changed on their honeymoon?

Once we were done with that little deal we drove off into the vast land of please Garmin don't put us back on a Florida turnpike{one of those puppies cost us $13 on the way down} in search of Kissimmee. After tons of driving{I don't remember the trip taking that long to get to Fort Lauderdale but I was asleep the way down} and one stop at Pollo Tropical for some flavorless Cuban food we arived in Kissimmee and headed straight for Epot.

After purchasing our Disney tickets and trying to get the cheapest deal known to all budget crazed honeymooners we decided to catch a flick at The Loop. Again no pics, but after some legit window {we are on a budget remember} shopping and dinner at Chipotle we wandered into the cinema with two older couples and watched Up! in 3d. Don't waste your money by the way, it was awful 3d, I had my glasses off half the time cause it looked the same either way.

After the movies we went back to the Super 8 we stayed in Sunday. I had to remind the lady that there was a room for $34.99 and that we had it a few days before cause she surely wanted to sell us a much pricier room that was out of our honeymoon budget We gladly went to sleep till we were forced by a alarm clock to get up and truck over to Epcot an hour before opening to beat all the kids as a way of skipping lines. And it worked, but more of that later.

honeymoon day 3...

Or as I have referred to it... Attack of the small white fish.

On Tuesday our little Bahamas Celebration boat docked in Nassau, after taking our money without flinching, they shoved us out the door and then put us on another boat. One full of men talking like they were from Jamaica, at least Jeremy says so. After riding out to the coral reef by Paradise Island we were given instructions and jumped into the chilly water. {side note: incase you don't know about how I feel about snakes, frogs, lizards and any creature of that sort, fish only fitting in when I might touch them,

they gross me out beyond belief} After getting in and being smacked by a few waves I asked for the "I can't swim well floaty" to which I shoved under my tummy and floated happily. Untill...some kids close to me threw out fish food and I was suddenly swarmed by a zillion small white fish that were out for blood{fish food really, but I was freaking out liket there had it out for me}. Jeremy of course was having a blast looking around and attempting to catch these white fish. Had I not been afraid of fish touching me, and also been able to use the snorkel right without choking on the dang thing I may have been in his same happy floaty boat.

Luckily after a few minutes of this I got use to the nasty little fish and floated around lookinng at all the really cool fish that were no where near me. You may notice the sheer lack of pictures, well while on American outlets it didn't occur to me to charge my camera and then I forgot to get an underwater camera. But by then we were on the money boat sailing into the we are taking all your money sea, so we opted out of giving them $20 for a $7 camera since according to our very money concious selves all fish seen that day could be googled and pasted to something like we took it{haha}.

After the snorkling we were shoved off the boat and pushed onto a bus, those people drive crazy, and then dropped off at the Cable Beach Resort until further notice{or 4pm}.

Cable Beach was awesome, the food was beyond awesome{cruise food was kinda gross}, and after we stuffed ourselves to the point of up chucking we waddled out fat little butts out to the slide and had our selves a good ole time. Jeremy managed to find a group playing volley ball, and I opted for a less likely to get hit with a ball event...laying out.

We actually had plans for that evening back on the boat but were so wore out after getting back we slept till his alarm went off at 5 for the mojito tasting, turned it off and slept till the alarm went off for dinner at 8. Which we did get up for, but straight after went back to the room and slept till we got back to Fort Lauderdale the next morning.

Day 2

Day two can be summed up pretty quick. First we drove to Fort Lauderdale and went to the Ramada Plaza Resort to redeem out boarding passes which all seemed like a huge hoax but turn out to ge legit. After that we proceeded to drive to the pier which consisted of a lot of driving in circles trying to figure out what was going on and where should be park. We finally found parking and ended up on the boat to your left. Which was also interesting and led to some interesting times.

After some wandering and dinner with a couple we met from Bulgaria

we went to the 50's dance where Jeremy preceeded to be attacked and forced to dance with an older lady who was beyond drunk{we saw her and her friend when we got on the boat and they were drink and this was at about 11 so she was far gone}. I can't tell if he was having fun or being tortured but someone asked why I hadn't borken in on their dance and rescued my husband, but I didn't see the need in ruining the his fun {haha}. Both Jeremy and the guy from Bulgaria{who I can't remember his name cause I'm horrible with names} agreed that they felt violated and needed baths.

And that right there is the end of day 2, yes I know we are dull...Tuesday and Thursday were much more interesting.

Honeymoon Day 1

Don't get mad but there are no pics yet. Lost the camera cord and am desperately searching for the little fellow.

But day one...We should have taken pics but after staying the night at Twin Oaks, room 5 by the way cause room 6 has a curse on it{more of that in a bit} we had breakfast at the Castle before heading to my parents house to get a few thing/drop stuff off and generally get this show on the road. Which happened to be funny cause some how we ended up with the top tier of my cake in our room and the first thing Mom said when I talked to her was "don't cry but we lost the cake" to which I replied "cause Jeremy put it in our room." But anyway we then headed to the lovely mall/Walmart to get sunglasses{I lost mine several times that week} and A.C. coolant for my constantly leaking car air conditioner. Which then led to driving.

And we/I mean Jeremy drove and drove and drove, and I slept and slept. Mainly cause his driving scares me and I'd rather not know I'm about to die. Plus there is less disagreement about how to drive when I'm asleep and can't put in my two cents.

We finally arrived at the cheapest hotel we could find in Kissimmee, FL {which might I add is a great way to save when there are other things you wanna do and hotels don't really matter to either of you} pretty close to midnight and stood in line behind a bunch of people who couldn't get their act together, and for two people who had to drive to Fort Lauderdale at 6 am it wasn't a site we wanted to see. But we made it to our room an crashed...which seemed to be the theme of this trip. But we sure did travel ourselves to death that week. A whole week in FL an not once did we set foot on FL sand.

Day 2 to come as soon as this camera cord is located, and I promise we have pics from that day.

Oh oh I almost forgot...If you haven't seen the slide show by Jennifer Lizenby then you should. Jen and her husband Bart did an awesome job on our photography, I'd almost redo the whole wedding to have them photog it again, but not really cause I nearly had a melt down those last few days. I would have to say I was not my usual self. But I will post about that when I do a wedding post after the honeymoon.
