Live From the GF!!!

[WDW LifeLong Fan]

We arrived the 29th.

ME - DW - DD18 - DD17


We are in Room 7401...beautiful view of the Marina. Raining off and on...the usual...

I just got back from the pool, going to shower, then off to MGM for the Extra Magic Hours.

We ate at Narcoossees last night, Alfredos today, RFC @ AK earlier on the 30th, Caseys, I will post on the Restaurant Board about the week's dining.

"Soarin" was great this morning! (three times) Crowds seem to be pretty moderate...so far!

They keep warning resort guests before the monorail, boat, in room, etc...that the next two night's fireworks are going to be extra loud, long, the monorails will stop, and may scare young children.

I've got to go. I will answer any questions later this evening or Monday morning. Monday is a pool, DTD, movie day!

Have you seen the 4th of July fireworks, they are much more intense hense the warnings.

For the 3rd and 4th of July, the Magic Kingdom has a special presentation of Fantasy in the Sky, with the perimiter fireworks. Fireworks are shot off all around the Seven Seas Lagoon. For safety reasons, some road traffic, boats, and monorail traffic is suspended during the performance.

So, you're in Conch Key? Are you in a GV or LV view room?

Just curious, as I've requested Conch Key for my August trip. I hope you and your family have a wonderful time!

Looking forward to your report on the restaurant board.

Happy 4th!

Still LIVE from the GF. The 4th was a resort day. The DW and DD18, DD17 slept in and then joined me at the Zero Entry Pool. We stayed until 3:00 and then showered and we went to DTD for MEGA shopping. We ate at BONGOS We hurried back to the GF and were very happy we did, the Fireworks over MK were FANTASTIC!
