</b>
<p><b>Today was just a lazy, walking around day.  Slept late and then I headed
over to Yacht & Beach Clubs to take a few pictures and have lunch at one of
my favorite casual restaurants at WDW, then an afternoon visit to Downtown
Disney.  I think I was running out of steam with the pictures, not a whole
lot here, but here are a few from that day.</b></p>

<p><b><img src="http://dmurphydis.com/WDWMay2002/29/DSCN3831.jpg" width="600" height="450"></b></p>

<p><b>As I left the Swan, the long walkway to the Dolphin, with its pretty entry
fountain in the center lie ahead.  The picture is framed with the awning at
the Swan entryway.</b></p>
<p><b><img src="http://dmurphydis.com/WDWMay2002/29/DSCN3834.jpg" width="600" height="450"></b></p>
<p><b>The short walk over to the Boardwalk/Yacht & Beach Clubs is over the
bridge ahead.</b></p>
<p><b><img src="http://dmurphydis.com/WDWMay2002/29/DSCN3836.jpg" width="600" height="450"></b></p>
<p><b>On the bridge I take a glance back at the Dolphin, as some pretty clouds
drift by.  Lots of clouds today, but pretty ones.</b></p>
<p><b><img src="http://dmurphydis.com/WDWMay2002/29/DSCN3837.jpg" width="600" height="450"></b></p>
<p><b>A Friendship makes its way on over to MGM.</b></p>
<p><b><img src="http://dmurphydis.com/WDWMay2002/29/DSCN3838.jpg" width="600" height="450"></b></p>
<p><b>A look back at the Swan/Dolphin Friendship boat dock.</b></p>
<p><b><img src="http://dmurphydis.com/WDWMay2002/29/DSCN3839.jpg" width="600" height="450"></b></p>
<p><b>And the Y&BC ahead.</b></p>
<p><b><img src="http://dmurphydis.com/WDWMay2002/29/DSCN3841.jpg" width="600" height="450"></b></p>
<p><b>Ever notice how everything at WDW adds to the experience, even the trash
cans?</b></p>
<p><b><img src="http://dmurphydis.com/WDWMay2002/29/DSCN3842.jpg" width="600" height="450"></b></p>
<p><b>The Boardwalk, looking across Crescent Lake from the Y&BC side.</b></p>

<p><b>I always like the look of the lighthouse, here back dropped by equally white
and gray clouds.</b></p>
<p><b><img src="http://dmurphydis.com/WDWMay2002/29/DSCN3845.jpg" width="650" height="487"></b></p>

<p><b><img src="http://dmurphydis.com/WDWMay2002/29/DSCN3846.jpg" width="650" height="487"></b></p>

<p><b><img src="http://dmurphydis.com/WDWMay2002/29/DSCN3865.jpg" width="650" height="487"></b></p>
<p><b>Back outside, I walk from the Beach Club over to the Yacht Club.</b></p>

<p><b><img src="http://dmurphydis.com/WDWMay2002/29/DSCN3869.jpg" width="650" height="487"></b></p>
<p><b>So relaxing it looks.</b></p>
<p><b><img src="http://dmurphydis.com/WDWMay2002/29/DSCN3870.jpg" width="650" height="487"></b></p>
<p><b>I love the look of the lobby at the Yacht Club.</b></p>

<p><b>And now, back outside for a walk back to the Swan to get car and hop over to
Downtown Disney.  Flowers and topiary everywhere you look.</b></p>

<p><b>Over at DD, for some reason <i>gemmie214</i> comes to mind.</b></p>
<p><b><img src="http://dmurphydis.com/WDWMay2002/29/DSCN3884.jpg" width="600" height="450"></b></p>
<p><b>Walt enjoys his work as Tink flies overhead.</b></p>
<p><b><img src="http://dmurphydis.com/WDWMay2002/29/DSCN3885.jpg" width="337" height="450"></b></p>
<p><b>A beautiful double globed Pooh snowglobe.</b></p>
<p><b><img src="http://dmurphydis.com/WDWMay2002/29/DSCN3891.jpg" width="337" height="450"></b></p>
<p><b>I thought I saw Angie while there.</b></p>
<p><b><img src="http://dmurphydis.com/WDWMay2002/29/DSCN3893.jpg" width="337" height="450"></b></p>
<p><b>And here I had to think of Vince back home, as well as the other firefighters
we have on the DIS.  As a side note, the only two humans that are ever
pictured taller than Mickey are Walt, and the firefighter.</b></p>
<p><b><img src="http://dmurphydis.com/WDWMay2002/29/DSCN3894.jpg" width="337" height="450"></b></p>
<p><b>She is cute even in her 'evil-eye' look.</b></p>
<p><b><img src="http://dmurphydis.com/WDWMay2002/29/DSCN3895.jpg" width="600" height="450"></b></p>
<p><b>The Princesses were all in style.</b></p>
<p><b><img src="http://dmurphydis.com/WDWMay2002/29/DSCN3896.jpg" width="337" height="450"></b></p>
<p><b>And Pinocchio always has that happy look.</b></p>
<p><b><img src="http://dmurphydis.com/WDWMay2002/29/DSCN3897.jpg" width="600" height="450"></b></p>
<p><b>Now, as the sun was setting, a hop back in the car to head back to the
Swan.</b></p>
<p><b><img src="http://dmurphydis.com/WDWMay2002/29/DSCN3900.jpg" width="600" height="450"></b></p>
<p><b>Traffic was awful with some construction going on so I had to head out of
the World and come back in another entrance.  Thought I would capture that
great sign with a bit of a different look.
<img src="http://dmurphydis.com/WDWMay2002/29/DSCN3902.jpg" width="650" height="487"></b></p>
<p><b>And now back at the Swan for an early evening.</b></p>
<p><b><img src="http://dmurphydis.com/WDWMay2002/29/DSCN3903.jpg" width="600" height="450"></b></p>

<p><b><img src="http://dmurphydis.com/WDWMay2002/29/DSCN3908.jpg" width="600" height="450"></b></p>
<p><b>The front portico was aglow in the early evening.</b></p>
<p><b><img src="http://dmurphydis.com/WDWMay2002/29/DSCN3914.jpg" width="600" height="450"></b></p>
<p><b>And a glance back out on the front lawn gave me a view of another Swan
fountain, pretty it is.</b></p>
<p><b>And so ends a lazy day.  Next up will be that day at Universal that I
skipped here.</b></p>

Thanx for my WDW fix Dan! - For a minute there, I could pretend I was drinking my coffee on the patio at the BC - just enjoying the morning quiet in beautiful surroundings, before heading out to enjoy a day at the parks......
