Disney World!


We've made it to Walt Disney World! We're here for just over two weeks so there's no pressure to get a lot of things done, visit all the parks, etc.  One of the things we discovered last year was all the decorations that people put out on their campsites.  Seems there's a group that do this annually.  They leave their decorations in local storage.  Arriving as early as September, they pull in, get their decorations out of storage, put 'em up, and stay as long as the end of January before repacking, storing and doing it all over again the following year.

So far we've just done a lot of shopping and looking at the Christmas decorations.  Already we've eaten at one of my favorite restaurants, Whispering Canyon Cafe (nothin' quiet about it, though) at the Wilderness Lodge.  As I get older, just riding the various boat shuttles, riding the monorails, and watching all the families is a lot of fun. Do that for a day and you feel like you've really visited Walt Disney World.  WDW isn't crowded at this point, but that will probably change this weekend as more people get out and about for a pre-holiday visit.  Anyway, we're having fun & just enjoying ourselves.

More later, David.
