Excellent!

I had a little tear when I read the note about the parasailing. Not really sure why because it would be my worst nightmare.

I do like the Mickey parachute, though. I also grizzled a bit when I read about the restaurant joining in with the singing and clapping. I could weep over the parmesan fries, too, but for a completely different reason! #mighthavetomakemesome

wow...Matt certainly looked like he had a great time. Lily is so cute.

Also really loved Matts 'Mouse' T-shirt. Did he get it at Disney this year?

Looks like a great day

I was in a London nightclub for my 18th.

If Matt gets his wish to spend his 21st at the GF at least he will be able to celebrate it this time with alcohol.

It all looks so wonderful and what a lovely cake

Blimey, I can't even remember what I did or where I went for my 18th it was that long ago

Can't think of anyway better to celebrate a birthday then WDW.

He has had it a few years, bought it when Disney were selling them off (I would never pay Disney's prices for Tshirts

)
Every time he wears it he gets CM's commenting.

He will if he is drinking by then, can't get him to try it but I was the same at his age. Maybe University will change him.

Tonight I am taking the lazy route and linking to Matt's Blog for pics and details.
Been to Manny's this evening had a few beers, got back and a few vodkas so a little tired.

Day started with Tusker house breakfast, as I have said before we don't really eat breakfast but did it for Lily, 5 adults and 1 child = over $200, I will never understand anyone paying those prices for breakfast.

Dinner at Manny's was very good, excellent steaks cooked to perfection (overcooked last time I ate there) $110 for 6 of us & $20 tip.

By pool this afternoon met Paulh, great to meet up at last.

Last time I was very underwhelmed with Manny's, this time felt it was worth the trip. Its about 30 mins drive from OKW. Not sure how far down I4 (10miles?) then 8 miles on Hwy 27. Really easy drive.

casinocolin The reason I keep returning to WDW is the atmosphere, the beauty, the sheer joy of immersing yourself in the WDW experience and this is why i will travel thousands of miles and spend thousands of Pounds/Dollars until I am no longer able.
