This is a VERY photo intensive blog;o))
OK, you’ve been warned… here we go!!!
First thing FIRST…
Saturday is Bruce’s Birthday!!
Bruce has his birthday button on and Laura has her celebrate button as well;o))
Happy Birthday, Bruce!!!
(click on any photo to enlarge)
We took our bikes and the boat to get to the Magic Kingdom!!
Lots of SMILES!!
First stop,
Buzz Lightyear’s Space Rangers in Tomorrowland….
Hate to admit it, but Nancy blew the rest of us away!!!
Unfortunately, Space Mountain was slammed;o((
However, we did get to drive the race cars past Space Mountain;o))
It was difficult keeping the gang together,
especially without a tour guide flag;o((
Fantasyland was really crowded.
They just opened the new section and all we got was pictures;o((
You couldn't get near any of the new attractions.
Crowds or not… somebody started dancing in the street!!
We made sure to see It’s A Small World so we would hear that SONG all day!!
The Haunted House was a favorite!
We all agreed to ride Splash Mountain, but waited until after lunch so it was warmer.
Rumor has it you may get wet;o))
Unfortunately, we’re going to have to wait until next time;o((
Mickey Pretzels were needed to cheer up the troops!!
Next we headed to Pirates of the Caribbean which was temporarily shut down.
Apparently one of the boats got beached… sheesh!!!
As tour guide, I needed to find a quick substitute.
Fortunately, the Tiki Birds were right around the corner;o))
Not quite, Splash Mountain or Pirates of the Caribbean,
but at least we’ll have ANOTHER song to remember all day:o))
It wasn’t long before the first parade of the day came along!!!
After the parade, most of the gang headed back to the campground to take care of pets and just chill out for a while. Nancy and I decided to chill out at the Magic Kingdom. We wandered around checking things out.
The details make the Magic!!!
Fabulous Flowers 
Have you seen the Beautiful Mosaics inside the castle?!?!
Wonderful Bronze Statues in the Castle Courtyard.
My favorite is of Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse!!!
While we were right in front of the castle,
we watched the “Dreams Come True” musical.
Lots of talented young people:o))
After the show, we headed down Main Street
where we mailed a birthday card to Bill Jordan,
a good friend who loves Disney World!!
Next, we headed to the Disney Train Station and took a train ride around the park.
Just as we arrived back at the train station,
the Street Party Parade was heading down Main Street:o))
After the parade, we got a veggie burger for dinner.
We were to meet the rest of the gang in the castle courtyard to see the 7pm Electric Parade.
By the time we got to the courtyard, the curbs were filled and the people were 5 deep.
We did see the parade, but not very well;o((
However, we had a perfect view of the castle for the show and fireworks to follow:o))
EVERYTHING started to light up!!!!
Followed by the most magnificent fireworks!!!
The MAGIC is in the DETAILS!!!
One last item to be done…
we were going to get a GOOD view of the 9pm ELECTRIC PARADE!!!
Must be in the FRONT ROW!!!!
It was a MAGICAL day!!!!
