Animal Kingdom

Today is Animal Kingdom day. We broke camp and drove over and parked in the bus/RV lot.

We are so sorry for all you folks hit by that massive snow storm up north but it was wonderful weather down here in Florida. Sunshine and warmth!

First we walked to the back of Africa Land to grab a fastpass for the safari ride - just a short wait and we got the ride in before lunch. Then we had a delicious lunch (with the cutest little desserts) at the Tusker Restaurant where we met Mickey Mouse, Daisy Duck and Goofy.

After lunch we went to the Lion King musical show and throughly enjoyed it. Our last attraction of the day was the Dinosaur ride - bouncy, fast fun - before heading back to the campsite.

A very enjoyable day...needless to say we are very happy to be "home" resting now.

Sunny Days

Another beautiful sunny day at Ft. Wilderness (Walt Disney World, FL).

Life is GREAT!

I have nine five-color sections finished of my vintage crocheted V-Stitch blanket. I'm so glad I decided to separate the five-color sections by a white row. It looks like white capped waves. I guess that's why I named this throw "White Caps".

Hollywood Studios & Over 500 in One Day

We had a blast at Hollywood Studios today. It was in the 80s, our warmest day here in Florida so far, and just beautiful. We played our favorite 3D game, Toy Story Midway Mania THREE TIMES. Hubby was the sure shooter beating me all three tries.

We had reservations at the Brown Derby for lunch, although it wasn't busy at all so we probably didn't need them. The Brown Derby is becoming our favorite restaurant at WDW. The service is excellent and so is the food. We usually split a meal - there is just too much food for us. We were pleased they separated the meal for us on two plates and served it as attractively as one meal would have been. We must warn you it's expensive here, even when sharing a meal, but added to our expense was the fantastic desserts we couldn't pass up.

We broke camp in the morning and drove over to Hollywood Studios in our travel van and parked with the busses and RVs. The only other way to get to this park from the Ft. Wilderness campground is to take the Disney busses which we would prefer not to.

We always like to see the Great Movie Ride attraction. The lines usually are shorter than other attractions and it's sort of like "It's A Small World". You can't miss it. And who doesn't like the movies!

And...I reached a milestone today. One that I can hardly believe...500 followers! You made my day so much sweeter. I thank all of you that follow my little blog. I know how busy all of you are and to take the time to visit me humbles me. When I started this blog over three years ago I doubted anyone would read it let alone follow it. So thanks again from this little old lady on Teacup Lane!
