We went to Disney World!!! (Part 3)

On Thursday, the 26th, we tried to sleep in and relax. We went shopping at an outlet mall and then Dad and I took the kids to the Universal Studios CityWalk for dinner at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. It was delicious!

When we got back to the house, my throat was getting pretty scratchy and I was really tired, so we tried to relax and not do much. We watched L while everyone else went out for a few hours. I was in bed by 9:00pm. At 11:00pm, I woke up with a bad stomach ache. I noticed I had some itchy bumps on my face and when my underarms started itching, I got up to check myself out in the bathroom. My entire face was covered in hives, as was my chest and stomach. I took a Benadryl and went down to wake up my mom to see how many I could take. I took another and woke Dad up. By this time, my lips were extremely swollen, my hands were bright red and swollen, as was my nose, eyes and ears. My arms, legs and feet had also developed hives by this point. I was so nervous my throat was going to close up. My husband stayed up with me until the hives started going away and I wasn't so itchy.

The next morning when I got up, my face and ears were still slightly swollen and I still had hives from my chest up. We went to Disney's Hollywood Studios as planned, although we only got there right as it opened (as opposed to how early we had been before). The kids had a blast here and we got to do a lot before heading home around 1:30pm. We did Muppet Vision 3-D, met Minnie Mouse, met Lightning McQueen and Mater, rode Toy Story Mania, watched Disney Junior Playhouse Live, watched the Little Mermaid show, met Handy Manny and Jake (and the Neverland Pirates), and ate lunch at Pizza Planet before we left. We tried to ride Star Tours and the Tower of Terror, but the lines were long and I was starting to get very tired and needed another dose of Benadryl.

Dad and I didn't want to leave because it was our last day there, but we had such a good time (even with the possible shellfish allergy). We went home and started packing. We left the next morning for Chattanooga and ended up home by 2:00pm our time Sunday afternoon. It was the best vacation I've ever been on... we are already planning another trip back to stay on the resort for Spring 2014. :)
