Disney Village Dining at The Earl

---

I was sure my tuna melt at the Earl of Sandwich could not get any better BUT it did! This time we had our family with us as we devoured the scrumptious treat. Everything is so much better with everyone with us! The three boys stayed back at the condos, though. I think I failed to mention earlier that Alan (oldest grandson) has left our group. He flew home to Scio, N.Y. on Easter. He had to rejoin the real world like we all will have to do soon...rats. He had flown down to Daytona Beach with two of his buddies and lived the fast life for a week. Then, he turned around in 2 days and joined his family down here in Orlando - not quite the same fast life but hopefully a fun one. Now, he is back to work (the real life). Almost like living a marathon. What stamina! We miss him!

After enjoying our culinary delight, we wandered through some of the Disney shops and then headed back to the RV. Sara and Haley discovered some of our permanent park feathered residents: 2 very unattractive, UGLY ducks. They wander all around the park, sleeping and messing under the various RV's. The ploy of crushed Pringle chips that the girls offered wasn't enough to draw them down to the little creek at the end of the roadway. "DuckDuckGo"is an Internet search engine that uses information from crowdsourced websites such as Wikipedia to obtain its results. "DuckDuckGo" is also what we holler when we see these nuisance nesters under our the RV's. They pay little attention. I guess they figure they live here year 'round and we don't! The big duck in the picture looks like one of the "ugly ducks" ......the little ducklings, however, are cute. Sad note: the ducklings don't fare well here at the park. The crows and hawks decide to take them for dinner....not pleasant. Life is not good for the ducklings at Tropical Palms! c'est la vie.
