On day 1, we headed out early Thursday morning because hurricane Hermine was scheduled to hit Florida that afternoon so we wanted to be done driving prior to the worst of the storm arriving. Much of the previous day was spent figuring out timing and thankfully our final start time worked perfectly. The drive was calm and easy and we arrived at our offsite hotel with ease. Since we had a lot of time to kill, we visited the huge McDonalds and ate a little bit of everything then spent a couple of hours at Disney Springs looking at everything (including all the new stuff). Jake got his first taste of Disney just from statues and piles of merchandise to look through.
Back to the hotel at night which is when the storm hit. At full force, hotel power went out, the generator (and it's evil sounding alarm) kicked in, we tried to figure out where we were in relation to tornado warnings, and the rain came down in huge sideways sheets. And all of this was from being in the secondary tail of the storm. Getting hit by a cat 5 must be an atrocious experience.
Next, on to the parks.
