Eeks!!!
Next time I would love a warning Jack!
Not knowing who Jimmy Buffet was, I did a search on You Tube...
Will you never, ever do that again?
I am willing to listen to guys in lederhosen for one night, try a margarita and even wear a swimming suit...
But listening to that is where I draw the line, ok?
Petra who is still wondering how you would look doing a Polka.

Margarita Anyone?
We will be staying at the Old Key West Resort on the grounds of Disney. I think I should probably take some Jimmy Buffett cd's with me so we can get into the island mood while we sip on some Rum drinks. Or we can play on the water slide at the pool.
From what I have read though, this spot will offer us lots of quiet peace away from the hustle and bustle of the parks if we need some down time. I was also told that there is an abundance of wildlife on the grounds to enjoy while we sing along with the island beat.

The Biergarten
The first full day we are there I think we will ease into it by eating at the Biergarten at the Germany section of Epcot. After all it will be October and what better way to start it off than with traditional German food and beer?
This will be a treat for me but I'm sure not so unusual for Petra. Over here there are very few authentic German restaurants and the idea of sitting down to eat at long tables with people you don't know would scare the pants off of most americans. I hope we are seated next to people that are not too up tight about sharing space with strangers.
Anyway, besides the traditional food and drink there is an oom-pah-pah band and alpen horn and even polka dancing. Petra, where I grew up I had lots of neighbors from Poland and I did learn how to Polka. Beware! LOL

Too Much Fun
I am probably having way too much fun at my age planning our trip to Disney World but then again, no one has ever accused me of acting my age. LOL So I guess the kid in me is coming out in full force.
One great thing about Disney is that they go out of their way to make the entire experience unique and one of a kind. From the attractions and shows at the four theme parks to where you stay and even where you eat, they try and make it unlike anything you may have experienced before.
I am having a great time planning where we will eat each night at the moment. There are plenty of quiet romantic and family stye restaurants to choose from but there are also several "one of a kind" places that not only serve great food but make it an event at the same time. At these restaurants there is a "theme" and the employees are not only waiters and waitresses but actors and actresses as well and play a role keeping with the theme.
I guess I must be losing it to get so excited about food. If I haven't bored everyone away from our blog I will show some of the choices we have talked about. They look like they should be lots of fun.

Passport perils
This afternoon my son and I spent at the photographers shop, trying to get a good picture for his passport. Recently the rules on these pictures changed and got very strict and it is hard to get a really good one.
What made things worse was the fact that I had been pestering my son with taking pictures of him for a few days now, so he already was totally fed up with it.
I feared the worst after seeing his face when I told him we were going this afternoon.
It only took 3 tries before the photographer decided there had to be a good one between them. The promise of getting an ice cream at the Italian if he didn't whine, helped.
While we were there I got a filter for my camera, shopping in a place like that is much more fun than going for clothes or shoes.
And than it was of to city hall to find out if there was a good picture amongst them.
When I told my son he already started sighing, expecting to return for more picture taking. But after much deliberation behind the counter, they decided one of the pictures was OK.
So now we have to return with my sons father for the actual apply for his passport.
All the water and carrots are starting to work, slowly my clothes are starting to feel more lose around my waist.
Looks like I am going to need to lose that weight since Jack keeps coming up with food that we have to try.

Thank You
Petra for that Monday morning present. It was beautiful.
I have been practicing my romantic Italian love songs so I can sing them to you in Florida but please don't be disappointed if they sound a little bit different. LOL I have the feeling that if I opened my mouth to try something like that I would have a set of Mickey Mouse ears stuffed in my mouth to shut me up.
Petra and I talked on the phone over the weekend and I was telling her that, like me in the Netherlands, they will be exposed to some new foods that are purely american. I am curious to see if any of them taste good to you. One local southern food that I told her about is the "corn dog". LOL Definitely not considered healthy food but worth trying.
