Some Disney trips

I love love love Disney World, I could go everyday for the rest of my life & not be tired of it. I took KC to Epcot after his birthday to see the fireworks, I just went on 10/23 with my friend CaityBug to Magic kingdom for her 19th birthday, and Hubby & I went to Epcot for his 39th birthday this past Thursday. Every year during this time Epcot has the Food & Wine Festival (like the entire month of October & the first of Nov.) and let me tell you it is one of my favorite things to do. In my younger days, a friend and I would go every year atleast 2 or 3 times and sometimes
end up getting a room on property because neither of us were in any shape to drive. Epcot has the world showcase, which is Disneys version of several countries all over the world . When the Food & Wine Festival is going on World Showcase (that sits around a circular lagoon) sets up small booths from all kinds of countries and you can buy small appetizer portions of several authentic food dishes and various wines, beers, and liqueur. So basically, you walk 10 feet from one country to the next and if you buy something to eat you must have something to wash it down with and by the time youve visited half of the world, you can halfway walk. Before I was married me & my friend "Moo" went and ended up shutting the place down after the fireworks, we decided to get a room . Hubby (ya know, before he was actually my Hubby) was not pleased at my drunken ways and a few choice words were exchanged, and I ended the conversation in extremely slurred words "Immmm in Itally...and Im haven a driiink!! That was one trip, I have lots of stories...and thankfully Im still allowed to walk through the gates. Since Caity isnt 21 yet, she didnt want to go to Epcot so she opted for Magic Kingdom which has most of the big rides, we rode a total of 9 rides which is good considering we didnt get there until right before noon. We ate lunch at the Grand Floridian Cafe, and before we left I took her to my favorite spot, the Boardwalk. I ordered her a little cake beforehand and I told her to sit down I was going to get a water, then a came back with a birthday cake singing her Happy Birthday, it was great! Disney really is magical!

I just love how you're close enough to DW to go all of the time. It will be a once in a childhood vacation for our girls. :)
