About me continued . . .

For many of you dealing with everything life is throwing at us at the moment and trying to get through you may not be interested but as promised I will continue my story. For this post I will bring it up to date. I appreciate that this is such a difficult time for everyone right now and I am sending our best wishes to you all. 

Today has been the third day for thousands of school children in the UK that schools are out, and many are saying until September. That's crazy, 16 weeks of no school?! Being a teacher and parent to a child who thrives and needs routine and structure we have had another school day structure but at home. I even have a bell to mark the start of the day and breaks and lunch times etc. Anyone who knows me won't be surprised but I get it is slightly extreme. It has been a day of PE (thanks to Joe Wicks, streaming a live PE lesson at 9am UK time) Interestingly he said his first live workout was watched by only 25 people and I think there was over 850,000 users tuning into his live feed this morning. There is hope for me and my six shares after all! We have had handwriting, spellings, maths challenges, singing, reading, crafts and outdoor challenges, the list goes on. Let me know your great ideas for keeping the kids happy and I will share these too in my next post. I know there are so many wonderful people sharing ideas all across the internet. The community spirit and strength of people is really shining through which is really positive to see.

Our boys are now asleep (7:30pm) and it is now time for me to work. I will update you with my further home schooling efforts as well as filling you in on our life story in Part 5.

Poll - After listening to YOU, what will you do first when you get into Disney's Magic Kingdom?

So here are the options: I will keep the top five from the previous poll, Big Thunder Mountain, Haunted Mansion, Splash Mountain, Space Mountain and Pirates of the Caribbean and add four others that have been most commented on plus a bonus which I couldn't leave out!

1) Seven Dwarfs Mine Train - Located in Fantasyland, the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train roller coaster forms part of a major expansion of the Magic Kingdom's Fantasyland that was completed in 2014.

The coaster takes guests on a musical ride deep into a diamond mine. It features a first-of-its-kind ride system that allows the vehicles to swing back and forth as they move along the twisting track, accompanied by tunes from "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs".

The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train was manufactured by Vekoma (a favorite of Disney, responsible for nearly all of its modern steel roller coaster work) and features both indoor and outdoor sections. The ride sits somewhere between Barnstormer and Big Thunder Mountain in terms of thrills.

2) Taking a stroll along Main Street and around the Park - soaking up the sights, sounds and smells of the park. Just appreciating every small detail and being thankful of having the opportunity to enjoy the parks again.

3) Dining in your favorite restaurant - with so many wonderful restaurants at Disney's Magic Kingdom, this could be the thing you are looking forward to the most. How Disney will deal with dining when the gates open we will be interested to find out.

4) It's a Small World - Located in Fantasyland, a shallow, meandering river guides tour boats through "the happiest cruise to ever set sail," where hundreds of animatronic dolls representing cultures from around the world serenade visitors with the well-known title song.

5) Dole Whip Queue - I love this suggestion and for many this may be a winner! It definitely made me smile.

So there are your top choices, be sure to share this post on Facebook with your friends and family. I am confident we can get more than 3 shares for this one!
