Ok, so Disney was probably a better thought than it was a reality. We've had quite a string of bad luck lately and it continued on this trip. Last Wednesday Cameron got sick at daycare. Thursday I had him to the doctor and he was diagnosed with strep throat and a touch of the stomach bug that was apparently going around. On Friday night (of course the night before we leave) he has a bad reaction to his medicine so we find ourselves calling the nurses line to track down our doctor and have her call in a new prescription to a 24 hour CVS so we can get him on something else before we fly out the next morning.
The morning of we were running late leaving the house. Got all the way on the highway and realized David left his wallet and phone at home so we had to turn around. Made it to the flight in time (thank god). No issues with connections, but we did get lost on the way to the hotel that night...in true Emily fashion. Always get turned around in Orlando. Cameron did great on the plane. He was so excited to fly again! He and David played games on the Iphone - mostly a monster game and angry birds. Cameron loves those.
We stayed at Wyndham Bonnet Creek Resort, which is right on Disney property. I love that property and it's the perfect location.
Cameron got to play video games in the arcade with Dad.
And there is a play ground where he did some rock climbing.
He crashed hard after playing on the playground.
Then there are 5 pools, 2 lazy rivers, and multiple kids pool areas. We didn't get to take advantage much due to him being sick, then me being sick...and trying to fit everything in we wanted to do. But he did love it! He especially loved dunking dad in the pool! Then while swimming he would sing "just keep swimming...just keep swimming".
Can't really hear his singing, but here he is swimming...and dunking dad.
Then there was the fun had by jumping off the couch onto his bed.
Tuesday night after work we went over to Downtown Disney for dinner. We ate at T-rex thinking Cameron would be into the dinosaurs. He didn't last long before he wanted to move to a chair next to me and practically ate his dinner glued to my arm. He was determined the dinosaur was going to fly off the wall and get him. Every 15 minutes or so they come to life and move around. He liked it overall, but was a little unsure.
At the end of dinner we tried to put him in the sand/rock pit. You could dig up dinosaur bones. This picture is so Cameron...he was more concerned with his feet getting dirty and rocks between his toes that he couldn't actually play.
I had to work the first couple of days we were in Orlando. Then Wednesday we went to Sea World. Cameron was most excited about the penguins, dolphin show, and seeing sharks. The sad part was he crashed hard for a nap just as we were getting to the sharks so he didn't get to see them...and was sure to tell me later how he didn't get to see any sharks! We didn't get to see Shamu due to the first show being full early and not sticking around for the last show of the night. It was so hot and we were all exhausted. We never did get him to ride any of the little kid rides there. He is still afraid of carousels. Most of his "ride" time consisted of climbing a rope ladder up to a boat over and over.
Thursday was a resort day. I was so sick I couldn't get out of bed. Cameron and David just entertained themselves. Luckily on Friday I was feeling better and we could go to Disney World! Since Cameron was so anti-rides, we wanted to start him off slow. We took him to It's a Small World first because he had no idea it was a ride. Then the same trend followed for most of it. He rode Peter Pan, Snow White, Winnie the Pooh...all basically the same type of ride where he had no clue he was getting on one. He was bummed he couldn't find Captain Hook in Pirates of the Carribbean. Loved Buzz Light Year. The highlight ride for him was the Tomorrowland Speedway...he actually got to drive a car!! We didn't get him on Dumbo until the very end of the night...took a lot of coaxing.
Winnie the Pooh had it right...lots of toys and things to entertain the kids while you waited in line. This was a hit! Then Tigger & Pooh were outside the ride so Cameron got to see his first characters. This one went over the best, even though he's not really as into them as Mickey & gang.

The Carousel of Progress put him to sleep...he crashed so hard!!
The nap caused us grief because Buzz was outside so we waited in line. He woke up so cranky that he wanted nothing to do with anything. And the character photos went down hill. Mickey & Minnie were after Buzz and it was a repeat. I had to hold him to force these photos.
Cameron keeping cool in the heat.
The stocks are supposed to be for kids that misbehave, but Cameron thought they were great and wanted to stick around and stay in them. We had to pull him away to do the Haunted Mansion.
And we loved these photos!!
We squeezed in some putt putt golf...but got rained out the last 2 holes. This was Cameron's first time golfing. He was so funny.
I wonder if this is how Tiger Woods played golf at age 2?
They gave him a pirate hat and flag when we finished. He put them on in the car and immediately screamed "Argh Matey". Hysterical!
Flight home ended up being delayed almost 3 hours...made for a long day. To top it off David was sick on the way home. Overall, we had fun...just probably not the best idea to travel now.
