Last road trip this year

We still wanted to get in our last road trip for the year and what way to do it than to go to Walt Disney World. We invited my mother in law to join us since she has her own travel trailer. She would also be bringing the girls cousin with her as a travel buddy. We got there a few days earlier than she did and stopped at a rest area for the night in Florida. When we arrived the next day we wanted to get to the park for a few hours. We went to Magic Kingdom and that would be a night they would be having a Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. We went to guest relations to see about the Halloween party that was rained out and they gave us tickets to that evenings party. It made for a long day after driving but the parades and fireworks were well worth staying up a little late. We got to get on Spaceship Earth for a sneak peek and found that there were some really good improvements and not so good ones too. The only bad thing is that my mother in law didn’t get to see the new Spaceship Earth since they were limiting certain times that it would be open for a sneak peek. They still have time to get it done before they open it back up in Feburary. They were also going to be closing the Teacup ride at Magic Kingdom for refurbishment on the 15th so we were able to get in one last spin with my mother in law. The girls spun her so much that she wouldn’t get back on the ride with them again. We have that on video too. The first week we were there we took in the parks much like last time we were there and not be in a rush. There were a few times that Scott would take the girls while me and my mother in law would head back to the campers. He was very brave being with three girls at the parks. We made sure that when we went to Epcot with my mother in law that we would go around the world and show her some of the countries. We took the boat across the lake to get to the American Adventure show.
It actually got pretty cold there during the last weekend we were there. We were so used to wearing shorts and we had to bring out the jackets. It started to get crowded as the week progressed closer to Christmas and more schools would be out for vacation. We also decided that we were ready to head home a day earlier than we planned. This would give my mother in law and niece time to take in the parks without us.
This would be our last trip for a while for us. We made the decision to stay in Texas for a while and get back on track to being completely debt free which would allow us to better see America. We were financially set to being on the road for a while but our decision after being on the road for just a few months made it where we didn’t want to be somewhere and not have the ability to travel anymore. We already had some land in Texas and which seemed the logical solution for us in the long term.
