A sad goodbye, and a day off

Sunday, January 20, 2019

This morning, my friends and Disney playmates must return home, and I’m feeling rather sad. We’ve had a couple of great days here at DisneyWorld, and now my working friends need to go home to…work. Bummer.

Elease, Joe, and I met for breakfast just after 10:00am and spent a little time discussing the pros and cons of our visit to Disney World. No place is perfect, but I say that, generally, we had a great time here. For Joe, the good news was he got to have a couple of days away from the office to focus on more personal interests. The bad news for Joe was that he had to spend a couple of days at Disney World! 😉

Our breakfast area, El Mercado.

How lucky I am to have friends who will travel far from home in order to spend a few days with me. Especially since I won’t see either of them for months to come. Thank you, Joe and Elease.

After the Caracci’s boarded their bus, I headed back to my room where I spent tine napping and working on this blog. I originally intended to visit Disney Springs (a retail and restaurant area of Disney that’s open to the public) but in the end I just stayed in and rested. During the prior two days we’d been walking 3-6 miles per day. By this afternoon I was starting to feel some stiff, tight muscles. As a result, I stayed in and had a quiet day of recovery.

Whatever my situation, I was in a better place than the Caracci’s when they arrived home.

Tomorrow I plan to explore the last park in the group, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, on my own.
