Day 8: Bus to Hollywood Studios, back to hotel to retrieve luggage about 1:45, bus to MCO and then fly to TUL.
In some of the mornings and late nights, the kids swam at the hotel pool as well. You'll note that at no time was anyone allowed to take a nap or return to the room during the day, but my kids are totally used to our vacation death marches and I really like to get our money's worth out of a trip. It's kind of a point of pride with them now to keep up with Mom's schedule. :-)
Tomorrow I'll try to post a few of the highlights of things we actually did at all those places.
