Yes unfortunately. It's supposed to warm up in a couple days though *fingers crossed*
I'd love to be in Florida or somewhere with my toes in the sand right about now.
You’re not missing anything, crappy food, crappy company, sunburnt feet and left knee cap, dropping $300 a day that could be better spent on coral, forget driving it’s like the movie Death Race 2000! Oh, what a cast in that movie, a pre Rocky Sylvester Stallone and David Carredine. I hope you feel better, it takes a lot out of me to lie like that.

I realize you're a ways away from I-4. Keep it that way. It's the most dangerous highway in the country.

The only time I was at Disney was in the early 70’ when my parents took me, my brother and sister. That big mutant Mouse creeped me out and I still have nightmares to this day!
