Well that was a day I don't want to repeat any time soon. Rain, rain and more rain. Left Dalton just after 5 and pretty easy drive through Atlanta, Then the rain started and it really didn't stop until we got past Valdosta which is right near the border. Most of the time it was just a nice steady rain but near the end it really hit hard and we could barely see. Got to the Florida welcome center and took a look at the radar - yikes!

Then got back on the road and enjoyed a nice ride in sunshine. Sadly it didn't last long. About 5 miles away from the turnpike turnoff we ended up in what we think was a microburst. We could barely see the truck in front of us. That was scary!

Got to WDW about 2:30 and thankfully our room was ready. We are on the 4th floor and way at the end of the hall Getting my walking in here.

Went over to Epcot to do a little bit of shopping and to visit the Food and Wine booths. So a really cool display over in Innoventions about the beginning of Epcot.

Now we are back in the room for the evening. Planning on using that nice jacuzzi tub and getting to bed early. We have breakfast in the morning with Thomas Kincade and then the pre-cruise DIS meet at Beach Club tomorrow afternoon.

Mark, Mary & Bear - Have fun on the Member Cruise. We will be following along. I hope you have a great time.

Thanks for taking care of Jim in Chicago! If you ever can plan a stop thru Daytona Beach, we would love to see you.

Hope you all have a great time. When I heard that someone had to cancel I tried to talk Tom into going with you. I thought I almost had him and then remembered that Jessica's first meet is this weekend. We hope to go next year.

Thanks to all for checking in.

We had a really nice DIS meet at Beach Club today. It was great meeting so many of our fellow cruisers. We even had a visit for Jeff, Todd, and Lily and her DH who all cruised with us last year but aren't this year.

Lots of fun exchanges going on already between buttons, necklaces, necklaces and HD mickey heads with "do you DIS?" on the back. Looking to really get the party started tomorrow.

Good Morning DVC'ers........I got this shot of the Wonder in port this morning for you, will do my best to capture the Wonder as she sails by the Two Palms cam later today.

It's 9:27 am. Which means Mark and Mary are probably sitting in the parking lot at the terminal ready to make a dash for the terminal!

Have a great cruise, DVC'ers!!!!

I had control of the Ron Jon cam, but had to take this pic as my time was running out, I had one second left on the clock when I captured the pic.
