I haven't been able to "blog" due to not being able to get time on the computer. I'll do what I can to keep you updated. We actually got here on the 29th but we had just enough time to check in to our room and then head out for something to eat and to pick up Ryan from the airport. I was very pleased with our room and this resort. We are staying at the Coronado Springs resort at Walt Disney World. I think we got the best room in the whole resort. It is right beside a little quiet pool and the laundry is next to that and it is within a five minute walking distance of the convention center where the dance competition will be taking place. I talked to the maid yesterday and she even said that if she were staying in any of the Disney resorts in any room it would be this one because of the location. I am very impressed with Disney, they sure know how to do things. I guess they have had many years to perfect it though.

So, yesterday morning I got up with Savanna and walked over to the convention center with her. She had workshops from 8:30 - 2:00 with a 45 minute lunch break. The guys headed to Universal Studios theme parks and I washed clothes and laid out by the pool. I went and picked up some chicken wraps and had lunch with Savanna and then came back and laid by the pool until 2 when I came in and got a shower. Savanna arrived back right before the guys did and then we all headed back out to Universal Studios. This was the only day that Savanna had that much free time. Competitions started but only for the juniors. We had a great time riding rides. It was really hot and the first few had long lines but since we got there so late in the afternoon the lines quickly got shorter. They rode a couple of roller coasters and I sat and waited for them - I don't do roller coasters :-). We stopped about 7:30 and had dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe and then headed back out and did two more attractions. We did the Terminator 3-D and the Shrek 4-D. The guys had already done the Terminator one but they wanted us to do it too. The park was closing by this time so we headed back to the hotel and we were all exhausted. The kids got into the pool for a little while but I was just too tired and I went to bed.
