Oh my goodness, it's been forever since I've posted

Well, I do have a pretty good excuse for not posting. A has been on sabbatical and we've been to Florida, Mexico and down South to see family. He goes back to work next week and we will sure miss him. I'm going to break up all the pictures into several posts as it may take me a couple days to get everything posted.

We flew to Orlando the first week of October so A could go to a conference at the WDW Dolphin Hotel. We had a great view. We could see the nightly fireworks at Epcot and the ones at Hollywood Studios. The Epcot fireworks were great. During the day while A was in the conference, Pumpkin and I walked around the Dolphin and Swan hotels and then also walked to the Boardwalk, Beach Club and the Yacht club resorts. We saw a Disney wedding, the bride and groom were dancing with Mickey, Minnie, Donald and the 3 chipmunks who were really grooving. It was pretty funny as there were all these people (not wedding guests) who were taking pictures while a white Cinderella carriage pulled by a bunch of Shetland ponies waited for the newlyweds. We did not go into any of the parks, it is really expensive for a day pass so we just played around the resorts and went to Downtown Disney one day.

The view from our room. The hotel across the lake is the Swan Resort and you can see the Tower of Terror at Hollywood Studios to the right.
We flew out of Orlando to Mexico. Pumpkin loved the Mickey on the wall and gave him a big hug. She is hugging everything now, it's pretty cute.
Pumpkin and Daddy hugging Snow White at the airport.


We went to one of the character buffets when we first got to the Dolphin resort. Pumpkin was fairly ok with Timon from the Lion King but she was scared to death of Rafiki, the monkey.
