Disney World

Sunday 11/30

Greetings from Disney World! We started off the day packing up and heading out from Kings Bay at 9:20. The drive wasn’t too bad for the first hour, but then it started raining. And it rained! All the way to Orlando. We got to Ft Wilderness at 1:30, checked in and got our site at 104. This is a new loop for us, and we got a nice site. There are unbelievable Christmas decorations at many of the sites. I will post photos later. We are close to the boat dock, restaurant, and beach.

Bill and Mandy drove to get her week pass. When they returned we took the boat over to the Magic Kingdom for dinner and a look at the Christmas decorations. Cinderella’s castle was lit up, but later they turned on the icicle lights, and it was truly amazing. We went to see Monsters, Inc, a cute show that was interactive with the audience. We had dinner at Cosmic Ray’s which I really like since I can get a decent meal: rotisserie chicken, green beans, and mashed potatoes. We had time for a ride on the People Mover, Bill’s favorite ride. The park closed at 7, but there were still loads of people there who had tickets for Mickey’s Magical Christmas Party (which we are doing Tuesday night). We stopped for ice cream on the way out – Mandy and I shared a peppermint ice cream cup. Very Christmasy!! They had a machine that started blowing fake snow over Main Street!

We took the boat back in the rain and made it back in time to see the next to last episode of The Amazing Race. We were not pleased with one idiot team who made it to the final three. Then it was time to figure out our week’s plan. Mandy is making the most of her time here, and she may kill us all with all she has planned! The weather should be much more pleasant starting tomorrow!
