The happiest place on earth

M I C, K E Y   MOUSE!  Mickey Mouse!!!  6 days at Fort Wilderness Campground Resort, a very nice campground, one of the nicest we have ever been in with full amenities including lots of electricity, 2 swimming pools, fireworks each night and a very quick boat ride to the Magic Kingdom and buses that will take you anywhere in Walt Disney World.

This all comes at a price which seems like a lot considering I am bringing my own bed, shower, and toilet but when you are in the happiest place on earth you just smile and have them scan your magic band and charge even the tinest item right to your credit card!  This could be trouble!!!

Where else would you find shrubs shaped like a mouse and his girl?

I love the mouse and Paul really could care less so we planned this trip for when Amy had a business trip to Orlando and she joined us for 4 days.  Amy and I spent 12 hours in the Magic Kingdom which is like Disneyland in CA only smaller because many attractions are located elsewhere in Walt Disney World.

I was amazed at how many different kinds of ears there were and how many diffent kinds of people were wearing them!  Amy wore hers all day and even the next day when we visited Epcot.

I think we rode most of the rides in the park and really had a great time without really standing in line for more than 15 minutes other than when we waited 45 minutes to ride their newest coaster, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train which after waiting and riding I think Big Thunder Mountain Railroad  is just as much fun and the line was at least half as long!  Lesson learned.

The parades are always fun

After 12 hours we decided to call it quits!  I walked almost 24,000 steps!  I know because I have this little bracelet now that tells me what I have been up to each day!

I'm no fool!  I saw a chair while waiting for the boat and I sat down!

We had a great day and ended by taking our boat back to the campground while the fireworks lit the skies over the lake!  Perfect, and my CC is still working!!!!
