Disneyworld Days Two and Three

 

Wow!  Does time fly, or what.  Another two days in the sunshine and warmth here in Florida.  It really isn't WARM, with it being in the low seventies and high sixties and all of the outdoor Disney folks are actually wearing jackets with hoods and gloves, but it feels pretty good to us.

Disney Yacht Club with Sunshine

Yesterday afternoon was the first day of Pamela's sessions, and the in the evening there was a pirate theme dinner on "Shipwreck Beach" next to the ship/water feature on the lake.  We did not stay too long, and took a boat across the lake to the Disney Boardwalk for dessert, and then watched the Epcot fireworks from one of the bridges facing that direction.  They were not as good as they will be from Epcot itself, but the crowds were a lot better.

The Sign Says "No Swimming", Instead of "Beware of Gators"

Today (Friday) is Neil's birthday, so he celebrated by not doing too much.  He did some reading, walked around the grounds, and listened to some TV drivel about who is going to win which NFL football games and why.  He hopes to watch as many of the four games this weekend as possible, but may have to miss one to visit either Epcot or Disneyland on Sunday.

Neil's Next Boat?  The Price is Probably About Right

Neil did find a nice little boat that Sam in Alaska needs instead of the heavy inflatable we had on the Joint Adventure.  He can use this to get back and forth to the beach and just throw the deer and bear carcass across the bow--we are sure that he can use another boat.  It is called a Sea Raycer by Sea Ray, and we may rent one just to play on the lake for an hour over the next few days if we have time and good weather.

Neil's Birthday Shirt

Tonight, we are going across the water to the Disney Dolphin Hotel to the Shula Steakhouse for Neil's birthday dinner.  The Swan and Dolphin hotels are the ones with the huge sculptures on top and they are connected to the other resorts via a canal.  They have some high end restaurants and stores in them, and are popular for weddings and some corporate meetings.

Neil got a really nice Carhart (two pocket) shirt from Pamela with an embroidered image from a photo of his old boat.  It is really neat, and was a big surprise.  She had it done by a Creative Memories friend of hers in Juneau who has a computer that scans photos and turns them into embroidery

Swan and Dolphin Hotels in Walt Disney World

We have several more days here before we return to Oregon at "O' Dark Thirty" on Wednesday, so we will see a lot more on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday before we leave.  We will have to rest up when we get back "home" to the Fiver in Molalla, but that should be easy to do.  Thanks for visiting,

Neil and Pamela
