if it's friday it must be epcot

Just a few pictures to share to let you know that laughter is alive and well here in sunny Orlando! We've been on rides, watched 3D movies, oohed and aahed at the techniques of stuntmen and marveled at the complexity of special effects. Clare met her idol, Minnie, and we've all enjoyed the organizational magnificence of the world that is Disney.

We've visited the Magic Kingdom (and yes, we are having magical days) and Hollywood Studios thus far, and today will venture to Epcot. Yesterday was a gorgeous fall day with pleasant temps and a cooling breeze. We wrapped up early enough with our adventures at HS to sample the variety of transportation options here at the Kingdom: monorail, bus and shuttle boat. We visited two other hotels to get a sense of their flavor, and wrapped up the day with dinner at our own digs, Wilderness Lodge. The dining establishment at which we ate has a reputation for their compliance with the wishes of the clientele, as evidenced by the collection of ketchup bottles after Clare put in a request for some to complement her dinner!

Who knows what adventure awaits us today, but we seem more than capable of creating our own, wherever we are.

Waving wildly from a magical world!
