Last week we had an opportunity to experience Disney close up and personal again thanks to our niece, Lindsay, and two dear friends Lynn and Becky. Lindsay managed a few days vacation to spend in Florida with a firm desire to visit Disney World. Lynn and Becky work there and when they found out about Lindsay, they generously offered there guest passes for our use. Not only were the passes for two whold days in the park of out choices, they included 5 more guests. So we took all of the Woodrigians who were in Florida at the time along on Lindsay's adventure. Our party was 9 in all and our wheel chair friend afforded us a few more perks along the way.
Lynn and Becky hosted these people they had never met before plus ourselves in ways one would reserve for family. Their generosity of spirit in acting as knowledgeable tour guides in spite of their own fatigue and pain, was beyond the call of duty. Their guests were appreciative beyond words. Now all of our friends are friends too.
A day at Epcot and one realizes that the magic is still there. We were watching the show and fireworks display in the evening with two little boys who were trying to figure out how the world floats on the water. After they expounded many implausible ideas, I told them the truth; "it's just magic." They both responded simply "yeah".
The second day we were in the Magic Kingdom where Lindsay and I waited 2 hours to ride Splash Mountain. We reached a point where we were ready to give up but there was no way out so we stuck it out and it was so fantastic that we almost forgot what it took to get there. We made up for it later in the evening when the lines shorten by riding Big Thunder Mountain three times.
The greatest sight of the day however, was the electric light parade. I wonder if Thomas Edison has any idea of the beauty wrought by his simple invention, the light bulb. Why not just sit back for a moment and enjoy the parade?

We concluded the evening with a family style dinner for 8 at the Liberty Tavern where I consumed a syrupy sweet Buzz Lightyear punch in order to get the light up clip of Buzz Lightyear for a certain grandson who is nuts for Buzz. So guess what's coming to you next time we meet Drew?

I had a blast!! If you notice your counter increase significantly, it's me looking at these pictures so I feel as if I'm still there. :)
