As Leanne heads into the end sprint of studying for boards, a necessary and welcomed reprieve presented itself as the USAFP (Uniformed Services Academy of Family Physicians) went underway in Orlando, FL. Leanne presented multiple posters of research and case presentations. We both attended lectures and learned what’s cutting edge in family medicine.

But what fun is only going to lectures when you are 15 minutes away from the “Happiest Place on Earth”?

With any free time we had, we and the other residents and attendings headed to Disney or Universal Studios!

Universal Studios Islands of Adventure:

One of the residents planned a “Family Dinner” at Disney Springs’ T-Rex café. Yes, that’s right, about 30 full-grown adult physicians went to the T-rex café. The waiter, at first confused where our children were, later assured us that sometimes adults come here too.

Lastly, my favorite Disney park Epcot. The “Flower Festival” was in full bloom and all the famous Disney characters were beautifully sculpted and located throughout the park. I loved enjoying food and drinks from around the world!
