We just got to our room at the Contemporary (jaw dropped... nicest hotel I've ever stayed in!) and we're in the garden wing with a water view on the first floor. It took forever to walk here (especially with a broken foot) but it's worth it. I'll post pics of our room as soon as I get home. I'm on the room computer now and it let me upload photos to send pics to our moms but the files are huge and I can't re-size them on here.

We did Downtown Disney today! It was wonderful and the crowds weren't as bad as I had expected.... anywhere we've been so far. We accidentally went to the MK parking lot at 11am and it was nowhere near even 1/8th of the way full I bet. The TTC wasn't even that busy at noon. We ate at the Rainforest Cafe for lunch and sat next to the animatronic (sp?) elephant in the Gorilla room. It was definitely an interesting experience. I recommend the Gorillaritas (curevo gold tequila and orange sherbet).

The weather is so so. Sometimes it's gloomy but other times it's quite pleasant, with a nice strong breeze. I thought that it was going to storm there for awhile but it didn't.

Tonight we head to the California Grill for a 9:30 reservation and we'll see Wishes over the Magic Kingdom at 10pm. Now it's time for me to go nap!

More updates soon!

Thanks for the update and it's great that you and your family are enjoying the Contemporary.

Wow the room pics look awesome! Do you have anymore? I fondly remember what they looked like back when WDW first opened. They were so modern back then. Nice to see how up to date they have made things!

Yes I do have more and I just posted them on my online photo album, http://bridgettebuntin.typepad.com/photos/disney_world/ There are also more photos of the Magic Kingdom and Wishes!

All the rooms in the Tower and South Garden Wing have a computer with this Online Concierge program where you can request things from Houskeeping, bell services and etc. It also includes 100% free internet access.

We went to Animal Kingdom yesterday around 3pm and good Lord it was hot! We saw some of the trails but then got out of there, as our clothes looked like we had jumped in a pool! We got some room service and headed back to Magic Kingdom and say Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion again and then for the BIGGIE we rode Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in the dark and we left the station just as the Wishes finale began! It was one of the best moments of my life... I got a little choked up! We're off to EPCOT today so I'll be back with tons of photos to add to my album! Ciao

Thanks for the updates!

Your Wishes pics are beautiful - do you have a fireworks setting or did you do manual settings?

I do have a fireworks setting but I actually found that I got the best results from the landscape setting with no flash.
