Lola (our GPS) timed our arrival
at 8:05 (or in that vicinity)since we left Austell. We were passing through
Ocala, Florida around 6:30, light traffic, making great time, and happen to
look up at the GPS and she said , “Arrival Time – 10:05” ? What ?
We were about to get on the Turnpike when this happened, and the GPS
showed all lanes closed on the Florida Turnpike South. I called 511 (State Patrol Road Conditions)
and they agreed with the information from Lola and gave us a detour route. That delayed us by an hour and we finally
arrived an hour late, at 9:00. Starving, we knew the sister resort at Port Orleans, Riverside, had a sit-down restaurant, so we made quick reservations and at a quick dinner! Good food - Dennis and Kelsi had Crawfish Etouffe and Lauryn and I split Steak and Crawfish Macaroni.
Disney’s new “On-line Check-In”
with Magic Bands is wonderful. They
texted me our room # and we were able to go straight to our room, by passing
the front desk all together. With the
luggage in the room, Kelsi and I made a quick trip to the front desk to pick up
a package and her birthday button and came back to the room where Dennis was
sound asleep - lights on, glasses on, he just hit the bed and crashed. We were all tired and planned to do a quick
un-pack and go to bed. Tomorrow would come soon and we had a busy day, but
first things first. Where’s my Lysol ?
Lauryn was sitting on the bed,
cracking up, with Kelsi, as I opened all the drawers and sprayed Lysol in each,
then the bedspread (no, I didn’t spray Dennis), bathrooms, and sink area. The shoes we had worn all day had walked
through dirty service stations and rest areas, so I sprayed the bottoms of each
before storing them under the bench in our room at The French Quarter
Resort. And yes, teasing ensued – but hey,
I’ve been to Disney one time when everyone got sick and I don’t care to repeat
that – so caution is better and I’ll take the ribbing about being the Lysol
germ-a-phobe.
Nothing else for this day – it’s
bedtime – we have a breakfast date with Sophia the First in the morning – but first….
Oh my how am I going to sleep tonight? And Why did I promise Kelsi I would ride
“THAT” ride tomorrow………………
We are kindred spirits with the Lysol, Penni! In fact, I just found out that you can get the stuff that the hospitals use to disinfect for Norovirus (stomach bug!) and other contagious illnesses. It's called Clorox Healthcare Hydrogen Peroxide Disinfectant, both in the trigger spray bottle and in the wipes, through Amazon for $12 each. I got both. I will be cautious which surfaces I use them on, but it's the only other thing that kills Norovirus within three minutes. :) Sorry for all the delays with the rental car and the turnpike being blocked...I'm sure it's making the rest of your trip all the sweeter!
