Disneyworld

On Memorial Day we went to Disneyworld! Neither of us had really ever been there before. Gina's parents say they took her to Disney when she was a little girl, but she doesn't remember. In fact she has always suspected her parents were lying. So we were pretty excited to see this:

We were there during some kind of flower festival. They even had flowers growing out in the water. It was pretty amazing and these roses smelled delicious.


We didn't see many Disney characters walking around, which surprised us. We didn't even see Mickey! But we did see these guys:
And Donald and Daisy were there too.
Germany, where we ate lunch.
We enjoyed wonderful authentic German cuisine and listened to some folk music. Suzanne and Joey knew a few of the guys in the band. They had everyone in the restaurant toast the newlyweds and played them a special song. Outside Japan, where 150-yr old bonsai trees were on display.
The Beatles in England.
Playing "Titanic" on the ferry over to the Magic Kingdom (minus the sinking part)
Our first view of the castle. Joey told us that the Disney folks pump fake cookie smell out into Main Street to make people hungry and sure enough, we smelled delicious chocolatey cookies about halfway down the street. And we wanted some - Thomas wants to buy that spray for himself.
Our favorite ride was the Small World ride. We loved the boats and the tiny dancing people from every country. This was the only ride that Gina remembered from her supposed childhood trip to Disneyland. So maybe she did go after all!Thomas had to explain to Gina that this was Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story. We've put the movie in our Netflix cue so Gina can catch up on her Disney. To infinity and beyond. We shot a ton of aliens on this ride. That's to get back at them for attacking our house.
Thank you to Suzanne and Joey for being so generous and letting us visit Disney for free! We loved it and we can't wait to go back and see more.

You guys are so cute! Thank you so much for coming down. I love the "Titanic" shot. And don't forget to put "Toy Story 2" in your Netflix cue as well.
P.S. We cooked the salmon and zucchini, and it was very yummy.

Oh Gina, how could you doubt your 'rents?? Momo made it possible for us to stand in line all day long at Disney Land - to ride 7 rides - I'm sure we have the pictures to prove it! Glad you had fun (again). Love, PU
