More Disney

We stayed at the Contemporary Resort this year. It's the closest resort to the Magic Kingdom, and the monorail goes right through the building. Ron managed to sweet talk his way to an upgraded room with a view of the Magic Kingdom. We were able to sit on our balcony at night and watch the fireworks. It was a nice size room and in a great location within the hotel. (Nice job, Ron.) The first 4 pictures are from our balcony or right outside our room looking into the hotel.

We started our first full day with breakfast at Chef Mickey's. It was a buffet and was just adequate, but we did get to see the "big 5", which saved us from waiting in long lines in the parks. We got to see Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, & Pluto. The kids had fun and enjoyed the celebration song and waving their napkins.

We spent our first full day at the Animal Kingdom. Tyler gathered his courage and rode Expedition Everest (twice). We enjoyed the Flights of Wonder bird show. We've seen it at least 3 times, but it's always a little different and always very good. We really enjoyed the Nemo show, too. Doesn't Ron look thrilled in the Primeval Whirl car?

We finished our day with dinner at the Rainforest Cafe. We mainly went for the Volcano, which Tyler was pretty excited about. It was a very good first day!
