It's a bright, clear sunny day here in Florida - you want to have that 200 SPF... :wink: :lol:

That is one thing that I don't miss about living in Orlando, the million degrees with 1000 percent humidity, and the afternoon thunderstorms that you could set your watch by.


But still, being able to drive to the World any time I wanted to.. that was nice.....

And don't forget - there's not even a breeze to be found in the center of the state during the summer!

*snap*

I'm at the Grand Floridian wandering around. I loved doing that on lovely days. It's my favourite resort, hands-down.

Can I say that living in Idaho, where this spring I am still wearing my freaking winter coat, I'd give for humidity?

Come on up to Michigan, it is nothing short of a monsoon today :shock: Which saves the day since it is 80 and pretty humid still...
*snap* I'm off to have some dinner at the Sunshine Seasons in the Land, then I think I will hop on over to the MK for Wishes :D

Maybe visiting Adventureland for a Dole Whip to consume while watching Wishes?

Nah, if I go to Adventureland I'll spend my time in the attractions...not that enamored of the Dole Whip ducking quickly to avoid the things being thrown at my head...but watching Wishes on the beach of the Poly was nice so I might *snap* on over there...in fact I've snapped all my fellow Mayhem Marauding crew ~ even those who couldn't make it this past December and I've provided Dole Whips for all that want them, and Mickey Mouse shaped rice krispie treats as well :mrgreen:

It's okay not to be enamored with Dole Whips (looking around to see if I'm going to get whacked by Mousekedude or boilerbabe for saying that). I like it, but can also live without it. And, if being honest, I'm not a fan of rice krispie treats either. I'm a simple cookie kind of guy - so off to the Main Street Bakery for me...

Thanks Amy!!! I'll be right there!!!! stopping to grab the rum :wink: As far as the Dole Whips go, I love it!!! But not the float....just the soft serve. I have to admit though, we don't always get one on every trip. But then again, we were going to DL quite often there for a while...I like the DW better when I haven't had it as often. Which is why I gave up my outside-of-DL search for DW's. When we were going so often, we actually had started going to the little ice cream shop that is hidden on Main Street and we would get a sundae and split it. There was never a line and we could enjoy some people watching on Main Street. The other thing we used to do was get ice cream at DCA...the one in Paradise Pier that had the flavor swirls. That stuff was so yummy!!! But it's all gone now... :(

I love Dole Whips...but I kind of like the float better...pineapple juice over vanilla.
