Disney



Boat from campsite to Magic Kingdom
The campsite is awesome, as well as the cabins.  We stayed 11 days and loved it, every night there were fireworks, a sing along, and an out door Disney movie. Some nights there was a parade of lights on the water, just beautiful!  At the campsite there are 2 pools, one with with activities in the afternoon and a water slide, the other one  is quieter.  The Mickey bans (bracelets) are very handy since you can pay for things with them, perhaps even too handy "it's on Mickey, yay".  The girls had refillable cups which they really enjoyed, especially if you are camped near the store and pool.


We have arrived!

Won't be long the girls will be driving









Just ask Sabrina about this situation :(





Lets go


Oh Ya!!!




Bob is eating a turkey leg .... it is huge, he saw some people eating them and had to try it.  Conclusion good but very chewy.



Inside castle which is actually very small.

Love the lights











We stayed for the fireworks display which was amazing but very difficult to get a spot to watch.  We were being herded further and further then we would have liked.  Afterwards there was an hour of extra time for people staying at Disney, but sadly they closed some rides.  But it was lots of fun, even when stuck on rides!!!!

Next Disney's Hollywood Studio




This was a roller coaster which we all loved it featured the music from Aerosmith, I think we did it at least twice. 





This was actually a huge billboard


This was a show, very well done and comical.

This young lady from Disney played her role amazingly, she even gave us two fast passes for the Tower of Terror, which the girls loved!!!!  We did it four times what a ride!



This ride was like the drop zone but with much much more detail, my favourite.



Epcot





Notice the guys have their Belgium beer, happy lads.

Not many pics, but interesting the Speedway was cool and the Space simulator was amazing.  We enjoyed touring around the venues.



Picture says it all

Happy Birthday Bob!!  At Disney if it is your b-day they have a special pine for you.  The girls insisted he wear it, he was wished happy birthday alll day long, got even funnier by the evening with Mike and Bob but that is another story.



Well all good things must come to an end and we wished Mike, Michele and Joelle a safe trip home.  We had a great time.  Pictures that could be added were from golf, Mike and Bob played at a PGA course and loved it, us girls went to the water park and had an amazing day.

Before starting home we visited NASA










The girls in a laser maze








Very cool to see













































Still love the airstreams
There was a 90 minute bus tour to go to the lift off area but we were not quite into that, overall it was good but could not be compared to Disney.


We returned home stopping for a snow storm, but all is good.  We have been very fortunate through this entire trip (4 months 3 weeks) and thank all for their prayers and good wishes as our adventure unfolded.  We would also like to thank all those who watched over our house while we were away.  It is nice to be back in Pembroke!  Even the cat dropped in for a visit, happy and chubby!
