<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>

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/DSCN3870.jpg" width="650" height="487"></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>

I didn't KNOW that!! Thanks Dan, very interesting.

As for your pics~~I've only been 4 times and, I haven't seen one iota of what you've seen but, when I do, I will be SOOO familiar with these places, Thanks to you!! ;)

:smooth: :)
 
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......
It's been way too long.......
 
You take the MOST BEAUTIFUL pictures of WDW that I've ever seen. Thank you so much for taking the time to post them. Whenever I'm feeling blue I can always count on reading one of your posts to make me feel better. You are one of the most AMAZING people I've never met, LOL!! Thanks Dan.:D
 
Thanks Dan! Now I'm more excited than ever! In just over 2 weeks we will be at the BCV!!! :D :D
 
What a wonderful relaxing day, Dan. Thanks for the post.
 
Always beautiful pictures Dan.

Hey, we're not totally heartless here Dan. We'll allow you a laid back day once in a while! ;)
 
Oooooo! It's only 9:00 a.m. here and the picture of the cheese burger has my mouth watering and stomach growling. Beautiful pictures, as always.
 
You have a wonderful eye, Dan.

Thanks for sharing these. :)
 
Thank you Dan, for the beautiful Swan/Dolphin memories!

That was some nice lunch you had there;)

Beautiful sunset!

Thank you again--I got them all to load and music too!!!!:D
 
Wonderful pictures Dan, I always love seeing pictures of "The Swan" our home away from home :) We have not yet dined at Beaches and Cream...may be December we shall take a stroll over :) The music is very nice too :)
 
Dan, for the first time ever, these made me sad. :( :( Not in a bad way though. I just can't wait to get back! LOL My heart is pounding and I'm hyperventilating. :p LOL :p Is it December yet? :teeth:
