Last Friday (Nov 30th) Dave and I headed down to Orlando to meet up with J and Debbie at Walt Disney World for the weekend. We got a great deal at the Wilderness Lodge resort. We had a great time at Magic Kingdom (which is the Disneyland equivalent) and at MGM Studios. It was a busy weekend. They were taping the Christmas parade in Magic Kingdom to be shown on Christmas Day. Regis Philban and Kelly Rippa were/are the M.C.s for the parade--and the Jonas Brothers and Jessica Simpson were also there. Although we never saw any of these celebs--we had fun seeing the "preview" of what will be on t.v. Christmas morning!

J and Debbie---J must be catching a "catnap" before all the fun
The geyser on the resort property-it erupted every hour just like Old Faithful-nothing like Disney to make it all feel authentic!
The back of the resort! Debbie, J, and Dave doing what comes natural!
We could see the fireworks at Magic Kingdom from the balcony of our hotel room! Note all the tiny Mickey ears in this display! I was surprised I could see them in the photos from my little digital camera!

This was the Dancing Lights event in MGM--as you can see we were in New York! These lights danced to the accompanying Christmas music. They even made it snow during this presentation!!!
