Walt Disney World


OK, so maybe you don’t expect to hear about a trip to Walt Disney World on a blog about Costa Rica, but that’s how we were fortunate to spend our semester break last week. It was a long planned trip with the Fettig family that was a gift that my father gave US in honor of HIS 70th birthday. His birthday was actually February 2008, but we had searched for a time to go since December of 2006. It turned out to be a wonderful time of year – less crowded than some others and perfect weather. We enjoyed spending time as a group of 11, especially since we will miss our usual trip to Massachusetts this summer. For all four of us Macy’s it was our very first trip to Disney World. We were able to visit 4 parks in four days! We also enjoyed the pool at the Wilderness Lodge where we stayed and it truly felt like we were in another world.
One of the many blessings that we experienced was that in the Orlando airport we found ourselves on the same flight with some fellow language school students who had been in the US for a wedding. We had not arranged for an airport pick-up and were planning on taking a taxi, but the student that was picking them up had a 15 passenger van so there was room for all of us on our trip back to our house!!
