Granny,

Thanks for the wonderful update. Have a good vacation.

Monday morning Trivia.

Walt Elias Disney married Lillian Bounds, one of his first employees in Lewiston, Idaho on July 13th 1925.
Lillian was the one who suggested the name "Mickey" after telling Walt that his name, Mortimer sounded to pompous. She is also reported to have thrown a meat cleaver at ole Walt when reports of him "hankey pankeying" around got back to her. Wonder if that is why Mickey had that squeaking voice at first? Go Lillie.

I don't remember hearing this one on the Walk in Walt's Footstep tour at DL!

Hi DisneyNutzy and Granny~

Glad to hear you are both at the World....anxiously awaiting anything and everything you hope to share! Have fun!!!

Hey Groupies!

Another lovely day in The World.

While DW and DD hung out at the quiet pool all morning, I ran some errands to Walmart. Hung around the lodge for a while, and I did take a few pictures that I"ll try to download tomorrow and post.

Spent the late afternoon and evening at Animal Kingdom and did everything we wanted to do there. Had dinner at Rainforest Cafe there (one of our eating traditions) and then came back and enjoyed a soft ice cream dessert from Roaring Fork.

Lots of relaxing this trip...parks are still part of the plans but not the main part. Which is good since they close so early this year...about 2-3 hours earlier than usual for this time of year. I guess the economy is hurting them, and the crowds certainly are not the usual summer crush that we are used to.

By the way, all the CMs have been wonderful and spreading the usual magic around as far as I can tell. They really are focusing on the "what are you celebrating" thing and I told them we weren't celebrating anything and they actually seemed disappointed that they couldn't give me any kind of button.

All told, things are going well and the Lodge is spinning its usual charm and comfort.

Thanks Granny & Disney0210 for the trip reports,

Granny wasn't there a celebration from Alice in Wonderland called an "unbirthday" day? I mean, we wouldn't want the cm's to be disappointed.

Keep up the live chats. Glad the lodge is it's old charming self.

Can I come too?!

 

[Disney loving Iowan]

Can I come too?!

You bet! DD needs someone other than her parents to enjoy it with. Her other horse loving friends couldn't go with us this year so she is stuck with just us. Poor kid!

 

[KeepSwimmingDory]

Catching back up and loving the live reports!

Enjoy the rest of your trip!
