Linda Mac's Orlando Adventures

During the motor coach trip to our next stop, The Grand Canyon, I had sometime to reflect on the last 48 hours. The weather in Phoenix was 110 degrees when we left the airport. I had always heard about dry heat but never really believed it. Hot is hot. I was wrong about it. As a Florida resident for the last 20 years, I can tell you without a doubt there is a huge difference. The weather is Sedona was probably my favorite of the entire trip. It was hot but workable during the day. At night, temperatures went down to the low to mid 70's but it was the breezes that made it especially wonderful.

Our entire group started to bond and get to know each other. The children made new friends as did the adults. These friendships grew stronger as the week went on. On our first night with free time in Sedona, it seemed everyone dined with their own family or group but that started to change by the time we reached Tlaquepaque.

The cost of an Adventure by Disney seems high but it didn't take me long to figure out it was well worth every penny. Mike and Tiffany, our Adventure Guides are poster children for everything that makes Disney cast members the most special people in the world. Within an hour of meeting all 38 of us, Mike and Tiffany remembered all our names. They looked after us like we were all part of their family. The knowledge they had of both Phoenix and Sedona's was incredible. It was because of Mike and Tiffany that we all bonded so quickly with total strangers. Its Disney magic at its best.

I tried to pick one thing as my favorite but that's just not possible. The highlights for me were being chased by the gopher snake at our welcome dinner and the Cowboys and Canyons Jeep tour with Taz. Dinner at the Cowboy Club is also near the top of my list since it was shared with such good friends.

Next up, The Grand Canyon.
