Day 7 in Florida. AND – today the sun is out! Our plan is to go into Orlando and hopefully to Disney World MGM. A friend of mine sent a Flat Stanley with us from her daughter Morgan. If you do not know what Flat Stanley is, he is a paper doll that gradeschool kids all get. The kids color him and them mail him to a friend who they know is going on a trip along with a letter asking for Stanley to go with. The object is for the said people (in this case – us) to take Stanley to wherever and take pictures of him there. Then Stanley comes back and you give the pictures and Stanley back to the child.
Morgan will then get to put a pin in the large world map as to where Stanley has been and then do a show and tell story with the pictures. Morgan asked us to take Stanley to Disney World (I LOVE DISNEY WORLD!) So that is todays plan and as much as I have loved hanging out here while Al is at the auctions, this will be a fun time.
With a little luck we will be able to meet up for dinner with friends we have from Minnesota who spend their winters here.
Have a great day everyone! Yes – a book is going with me (Dreamhouse) and yes, I have a review coming up today of Home Is Where The Wine Is.

Glad you’ve got clear skies over in Orlando. It’s overcast and a little chilly here. Enjoy your day out with Stanley!

It was about 70 Laura – so not super warm but not too bad. No rain 🙂
Yay for sunny skies on Disney World day! I’ve heard of Flat Stanley before.
Wordlily, my friend Adrienne ( my Thursday morning meandering) thought “Stanley” was an actual person and when we went to their house for dinner she was wondering why he didnt come in with us. When I explained that Stanley was in the car in a ziplock bag she about fell over….LOL
That cracks me up! 😀
Have fun today!
Thanks Zia!
I would use Flat Stanley as an excuse to go all kinds of places! Have fun!
Ha! That sounds like a great plan! Where are you headed first, Kathy?
LOL – thats a great idea Kathy!
Enjoy your day at Disney-have lots of fun traveling around with Flat Stanley-I love it.
Thanks Esme!
The Flat Stanley thing is so cool! I had never heard of it. Hope you have a good time at Disney World!
We did have a good time thanks Michelle!
Flat Stanley! Wow, what a cute idea!
Have fun at Disney World!
It is a cute idea Laurel – the kids have so much fun with it. I met a lady at Disney who also had a flat Stanley with her…. I relaly should get the book and review it.
I also love Disney World…how I long to be with Mickey Mouse again! I have never heard of Flat Stanley before but I love that idea…so I am wondering if he gets his own chair at dinner?
That would be funny Jo Jo… when I took one to Honduras a few years ago for another friends daughter we had so much fun with Stanley…. he was in the shower…. on a slide, in a tree….
Enjoy Disney World – you are going to Disney Hollywood Studios, MGM no longer exists ;-).
What a fun place!
Caitie that info would have been great before we left…LOL…. we drove around trying to find it! 🙂 Finally figured out about the name change 🙂
Well now it’s bright and sunny here in Vero Beach. Looks like we finally got the weather you have in Orlando. Such a pretty day, and cool!

It was a good day Laura
My husband and I won a trip to Disney World before we had kids; I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. Maybe more than I did when I had kids to deal with there!
Thats fun Lisa – we have done it with the kids before. I love Disney – Al could take it or leave it…. 🙂
I wanna go to Disney World!!! Hope you guys have a good time! Waaa I’m so jealous!!
We had a good time Natalie – thank you!
Lucky Flat Stanley! I wanna go!

It was nice to have a sunny day Vicki!
I just love Disneyworld and I am so envious of you right now!
Vivienne I love it too – I dont think I will ever outgrow it.
Enjoy your time in Florida – it’s one of our favorite places to vacation !!
Me too Lori!
We are hoping to get to Disney World with the kids here in about a year or two. We think they will really enjoy it. Glad to hear the sun is out for you! Enjoy it!
Thanks Melissa – it was a nice day!
Have fun at Disney World, I’m so jealous right now.
Road trip Ryan!
We didn’t take Flat Stanley with us, but there was a certain one of my little bears that seemed to go on trips with us and get into our pictures. Our grandson picked up the habit and his stuffed puppy made an appearance in his trip pictures.
Thats a fun idea Pat!
Have never had a Flat Stanley to take on trips with us. Sounds like fun! Guess I need to talk to my niece…. *L*
You should do that Alexia561! I think a lot of the grade schools do this program and the lady I spoke to yesterday had one from Michigan.
