Epic East Coast - Day 28

The traffic along US-1 was lighter today, and driving out of the Keys was easy, with just scattered thunderstorms to drive through.  Once on the mainland, we stopped for lunch, which is where a bit of an adventure began.  Jonathan refused to eat lunch, which he does every so often, usually just to push us to see how long we will argue with him until he finally relents.  This time, because it was a long trip, I didn't give him any time and we got on the freeway with him screaming as loud as he could in the back of the van, which went on for about an hour.

That was when the road signs started indicating that all the lanes of the freeway were blocked due to an accident 45 miles ahead, and that we should consider finding an alternate route.  Luckily for us, Google Maps automatically found an alternate route and took us around the accident, allowing us to continue on to Orlando without losing a substantial amount of time.  It was still a six hour trip, and we were all pretty tired of the van by the time we arrived at our hotel, which is a fancy resort hotel just outside Disney.  Unfortunately for me it resembles Disney in that there is a very slow queue line for registration.  I left my phone in the car, so I don't know how long I was actually in line, but it seemed that it took 10+ minutes to register each person.  I was pretty upset by the time I finally got our room.

We checked out the room and then headed to the resort's mall area for supper, where the guy working the till struggled with English and got most of our order wrong.  It didn't help that Bradley kept changing his mind regarding what he wanted to eat as I was ordering.  After supper we went to the pool area, which was very busy, as this resort seems extremely popular with families.  The kids had a blast in the water, which felt cold after the water in the Keys.  Once the sun set, it was time for bed.  We're headed out to LEGOLAND tomorrow - our last theme park before we board the train back to New York.  I'm hoping it will be a bit emptier than Disney and Universal were, though that is probably a pipe dream.
