Disney Sale

Four of us ladies drove off in a small car this morning at 6 A.M. Our destination was the huge Disney sale that only Disney employees and their friends can take advantage of. We were all thrilled to death...well, the Disney employee who is a wonderful friend and the person responsible for us going wasn't exactly thrilled, but she was doing it for us!!

We got our carts and stood in line for about half an hour before the doors opened. We saw the beautiful sunrise, too. Once inside we all spread out to find some bargains and, before you knew it, my cart was full. It was quite a good sale and we all bought much more than we thought we would.

We paid for our merchandise and then pushed our overflowing carts out to the....small, compact car. How could we not have thought far enough ahead to realize we needed room for our purchases? As we neared the car, it looked smaller and smaller. Carole, the owner, is a good packer and we did manage to get all our stuff in the trunk. I had visions of us sitting in the car with packages blinding our view of the road but that didn't happen.

Off we went to IHOP for breakfast and spent a nice couple of hours eating and yakking. We were home by 10:30 A.M. Don't let anyone tell you that the senior life is a lazy one.
