Thursday April 3rd 2025

The last few days have been warmer and more humid than normal for this time of year. Tuesday morning was very foggy and by evening a strong thunderstorm passed through with lots of lightening and wind. It was a harbinger of the summer weather to come. It also served as a reminder to get my mental state ready for summer. Florida summer is manageable once you acknowledge it is what it is.

Today’s exercise walking was at Disney’s EPCOT. The park was busy. This is a Disney road race weekend. The 5K starts around 4AM Friday with other race lengths on Saturday and Sunday mornings. They have all the barriers, monitor stations and porta potties up along the route, but by having the races early in the morning, the operation of the theme parks are not disrupted. The races are not for me. I get my exercise walking around the parks while they are open, not by running around them in the middle of the night.

Supper tonight was at the Regal Eagle Smokehouse Barbecue beside the American Adventure pavilion. It was a good change up from my usual fish and chips. The fact that the eating area was inside in air conditioned comfort also had an impact. Most of my visit to the park was consumed by walking and taking pictures, but I also road Living with the Land and Soarin Around the World at the Land Pavilion.
