Disneyworld in December

Last weekend Kim (my wife) decided to take a trip to sunny Floriday and use up some left over tickets we had to Disney World. We flew to Florida friday morning only to find the entore florida area socked in by rain! We left Virginia to get away from the cold nasty weather only to find the same thing in Florida. Our rental car was great! We rented a Dodge Charger and this is a car I would love to have in a few years. This was just a basic entry level Charger but with the wet roadds you had to be gentle on the gas to keep from spinning the wheels. We stayed in a midlevel hotel that isn't even worth mentioning. The best thing about the hotel was it was about 100' from a Pizza Hut. The hotel wasn't bad....it was just a hotel. We spend the day/night friday doing some shopping and looking for umbrellas to carry into the parks because the weather forecast for Saturday was for more of the same. We ended up with a couple umbrells that we found in a Walmart. After Walmart we ventured into Downtown Disney and saw hundreds of people wearing cheap Disney ponchos! That seems much easier then the umbrells that were getting caught up in the wind! We looked around and couldn't find these ponchos anyplace so we finally asked a Disney person where they were located. The answer was easy...they were at every register! On saturday morning the clouds were still around but the rain had lightened to a drizzle instead of the steady rain that we found on friday. Went got McDonalds for breakfast where I saw a lady tearing up pancakes with her hads for her child as she sneexed into her arm. Mother of the year! The first park we went to was Epcot Center to ride the Sorin ride. This is one of the ride that everyone raved about but we had missing on our previous visits. The ride is a simulator that is like flying in a hang glider. IMO, it could have been better! The film you fly over/with is of poor quality and when you transfer from 1 scene to another (oceans to mountains) it is just a quick change to not at all fluid. Not very Disney like.
We walked around Epcot for a while doing a few more rides but then left to go to Disney World itself. Disney World was Ok but having been there 2-3 other times it was kind of old. They really need to change some stuff! The rain finally did clear out and the last half of the day was nice, cloudy but nice. It was a good weekend away just for a change of scenery but I am not interested in going back to disney parks any time soon. I would go to Florida again to visit some of the other attractions like Sea World, Universal, MGM Studios, etc.
