Tomatico Travels

We could sleep in a little, but I still needed to be up in time to reserve our virtual boarding group for Rise of the Resistance ride at 7:00am. We had loved the ride ride so much the first time, we prioritized another chance to experience it. We sat out he couch refreshing on my… Continue reading Florida 2020: Diary – Day 15 →

The alarms went off early. We were trying to be at a Panera Bread when it opened at 6:00am so we could get to the Animal Kingdom as soon as possible. It was tough to get the boys up, but they pushed through the fog because they knew it would be worth it. Animal Kingdom… Continue reading Florida 2020: Diary – Day 14 →

We got up early in order to time it right to get to the nearby Panera Bread when it opened and then to the Magic Kingdom toll plaza when it opened. We got it nearly perfect except for choosing the slowest line at the toll plaza. I seem to have a knack for that! A… Continue reading Florida 2020: Diary – Day 13 →

Today was the big day when all four of us would be going to EPCOT. The park opened at 10 so the plan was to be at the toll plaza by 9:00. This left plenty of time to get breakfast at the restaurant and get our stuff organized before departing. A Day in EPCOT My… Continue reading Florida 2020: Diary – Day 12 →

We didn’t have to get up quite as early as we did for the Magic Kingdom because Hollywood Studios opened at 9am. This gave us time to eat breakfast at the hotel before heading into the park. It was a cold morning and we brought our jackets with us to stay warm. It was not… Continue reading Florida 2020: Diary – Day 11 →

On the way I stopped at the front desk because they hadn’t given us enough breakfast vouchers. We only counted 28, which is enough for 7 days for four of us, but… Continue reading Florida 2020: Diary – Day 10 →

The alarm was early. I quietly snuck out of the bedroom trying not to disturb my wife. I got the boys awake and out of their fog enough to get dressed and get their sunblock on. It’s a good thing we had gotten everything set the night before. We checked we had our tickets, magic… Continue reading Florida 2020: Diary – Day 9 →

We woke up and did breakfast for the final time in Fort Myers for this trip. We were on our 8th day but not quite halfway into the trip so we would have a lot of breakfasts in our future. Breakfast was noticibly busier than previous days. It was just two days before Christmas which… Continue reading Florida 2020: Diary – Day 8 →

We awoke to our last full day in Fort Myers. Breakfast went efficiently as always and I got the boys set up on their Zoom calls with no problems. Morning Prep After another morning run, I felt particularly energized. I had run the 5K route at a pace I haven’t reached in several years. It… Continue reading Florida 2020: Diary – Day 7 →

Mondays are always a little tougher to get up. After staying up later over the weekend it was even more difficult get up on time this day. We still made it down to the restaurant on time and it was still the buffet. It seemed the buffet was going to stay through the holidays which… Continue reading Florida 2020: Diary – Day 6 →
