Behind the Three Point Line: Disney "Test Family"

Well, Father's Day weekend we headed down to Orlando as we were a 'test family' for the newest Disney resort, Art of Animation. The best part was that it was free including the food (more on that later). We stayed in the Cars section of the resort. This entire weekend was devoted to Brother as most times we go to Disney it seems to revolve around princesses.

Thursday morning before we left Brother wasn't feeling too well and threw up, but he seemed to be fine afterwards so we decided to still head down. He seemed to be fine on the way down and the next morning. We headed over to the resort in the morning so we could hit the pool, and what a pool it was. It had a large center pool, with attached splash park for kids, and a playground right behind that. The kids played in the pool for a little while and then we decided to head over to Olivia's (Old Key West Resort) for lunch. Lunch was great as always but toward the end of lunch Brother got a little ornery. He came over and wanted to sit on my lap, he started to cry a second later. I then noticed that his mouth was watering and immediately knew what was about to occur. In one fell swoop I got up and began to head for the bathroom. Unfortunately, we were in a private room in the back of the restaurant. I didn't make it too far, Brother then proceeded to vomit all over me. I had vomit running down the front of my shirt the back of my shirt, pretty much everywhere. I really couldn't help but chuckle a little. I did have to celebrate that I made it three years without being peed on, pooped on, or vomited on.

After I got cleaned up and attempted to make a stealth exit, as much as I could with the obvious smell of vomit on me, we headed back to the resort so Brother could rest and the girls could go back to the pool. Dinner time rolled around a Brother said he was hungry, so we headed down to the 'food court' with our vouchers. Don't worry Brother wasn't going to eat much, pretty much crackers and water. Well I can report that the food was terrible at this resort, hopefully they have worked out the kinks, but if not I would recommend looking elsewhere for food if you are staying at this resort. After dinner I was walking Brother back to the room and the crying and the watering mouth started so I tried to find the neatest inconspicuous spot to vomit. Luckily, I don't think anyone notice him. Brother was staying in Grandma Kate's room and had another vomiting incident at about 3am. A sheet change later we were all back asleep.

All in all we had a good weekend, but I felt bad for Brother. This was his weekend a the Cars hotel. We will head back down soon so he can fully enjoy the experience. Overall, the resort was really, really cool, unfortunately the food was terrible, but I would definitely recommend it (aside from the food, can you tell I didn't like it).
