Great photo's. Helps with the "home sickness". We will be there in just over 2 weeks. BTW, get some rest, what are you doing up soooo early. I have not been up that early since my daughter was on bottles.

Mike, you mentioned before that your wife (whom, by the way, is beautiful and should be featured more in your pics) has diet restrictions similar to my 17yo daughter's. This is all a fairly new thing for us and eating out is not a thing we do often anymore. When making reservations for dinner at WDW how do the restaurants handle it?

When we make the ADRs, we note the allergies that are available (such as gluten) and always click "other". When we arrive at each restaurant, the chef comes out and speaks with my wife, and they discuss options. We even bring a pre-printed card that lists all my wife's allergies (which ensures they get the full list).

In a few cases, if a chef doesn't want to make an effort, they'll just suggest a few items on the menu that they can pull together to make a meal. In most cases, the chef prepares something unique and special, which is great, since my wife can't dine out safely at home.

That's one of the things we love about Disney - the special care they have for people with food allergies.

Lovely photographs. I always enjoy seeing "DVCMike live from . . ." Thanks for letting us vicariously live your vacations.

Well, no theme parks yet (that's typical for me). Today, we decided to get relaxed. So I got a 90-minute massage and the wife got a 2-hour massage - in our room. Yeah, I know, we're really roughing it. But somebody has to. Now we’re in the mood for a vacation.

I did walk over to the International Gateway of Epcot to purchase a Disney Premier Passport, but they are only sold at the front Guest Relations. Rather than hoof it, I took the Friendship boat over to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. With the pier at the Yacht Club closed for maintenance, that was one less stop I had to worry about.

Once at DHS, I paid Disney the princely sum of $722.75 for the Premier Passport. Ouch! I’ll use it tomorrow when I visit Epcot, and at Disneyland in May.

Tonight, we’re having dinner at the Flying Fish Café - one of our favorites.

I hope to post some nice photos of Epcot tomorrow.

Your pictures seem to get better every trip! I think Disney should hire you as a photopass photographer
