"Once in awhile, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale." ~ It's warm today, sunny with a light breeze, a zippidy-doo-da day. We were up early to get to Epcot and then tonight will do Magic Kingdom; it's open till 11 and of course the Wishes Nighttime Spectacular/Christmas fireworks. We'll probably just take the monorail right in MK from Epcot, then circle back for a double fireworks show. Epcot is a bit quieter today and to see it all during the day is fantastic. There are lots of street shows today in each country; I just saw an Italian juggler that was out of this world. Right now we have stopped in Italy overlooking the lake to enjoy lunch and a beverage. For those that love a glass of ... read more

Here together, friends forever. Some things were just meant to be and that's you and me. ~Winnie the Pooh (That's for you Al - if you're reading my blog honey! Epcot IllumiNATIONS that I have been raving about was, drum roll please...with all the superlatives I can muster: amazing, fantastical, incredible, super-duper, astounding, knock-your-socks off, thrill of a lifetime show. We were lucky to get into a lakeside restaurant to eat at, let alone have an amazing view of the light show because we did not book a reservation in advance. Once we ordered our dinner, we were escorted outside to the pub’s VIP area to view the show. How lucky is that? I was looking for our lucky horseshoe but decided against it given where you might find it?! During Holidays Around the World at ... read more

If you can dream it, you can do it. Walt Disney So we're finally here in Orlando and settled into our resort Liki Tiki and I've got to say, it's pretty darn nice. It has been a loooong day to say the least. A shout out to to Sue for getting this motley crew to the airport. Thank you! We were going to leave our vehicles at the airport but the idea of arriving back at the airport to a snow/frost covered van at midnight gave us shivers (for many reasons), and given we're 11 people, we'd need a line up of cabs just for luggage, so thank you Sue for getting us there. It's never fun to be the one left behind :( "If you have nothing in life but a good friend, ... read more

Laughter is timeless. Imagination has no age and dreams are forever. Walt Disney After years of discussing when we'd take our gals to Disney World Orlando, without having to mortgage the house, we're leaving tomorrow (Thurs) till the 19th! (PS due to a system upgrade my list of emails was somewhat erased; if you've gotten this email & don't want it, unsubscribe (and sorry) as I imported emails over. Quite sure my dentist does not want to hear about our Disney trip :) So you may ask, "What lunatic would pick just before Christmas to go away given how busy it is preparing for the holidays?" Guilty as charged. These lunatics got such a diggity-dog amazing deal that we couldn't pass it up. Apparently any time of year is fun to visit Disney World, but Christmas ... read more
