Our Fort Wilderness campsite at Walt Disney World





Our favorite ride, "Pirates of the Carribean," was closed, but we found this indoor virtual game to play instead. This is inside "DisneyQuest," a single building at "Downtown Disney" that was full of games.

On board a Disney Bus. One of many rides.



Typhoon Lagoon was one of two water parks at Walt Disney World. LOTS of fun! In two days at water parks we were only kicked out of the water once for a thunderstorm.



Do you rememeber this hand-slapping game from when you were a kid? Joseph and William played it a lot to while away the hours waiting in line.



The monorail runs right through one of the Disney resorts. Cool.

They were right. Everything is big in Texas. It may be hard to tell in this picture, but this grasshopper was at LEAST three inches long!

Mmmmmm ... that cheesesteak looks yummy. [drooling on keyboard]   :-)

Looks like you got out of the Northeast before most of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania decided to become an extension of the Atlantic Ocean, which is good. Hope you're still safe and relatively dry and having a great time.

I enjoyed all the photos, particularly the ones from Philly. Brought back some fond memories. Hope you enjoyed your stay in the City That Loves You Back!

Love,
Willie
 
Willie, and William, have enjoyed your pics and your write-ups very much. Philly pics brought back lots of memories of great subs and pizza. Was neat to follow you cross country. Know the feeling on the busses around Walt Disney World - :-) William you are not missing anything from SOX. :-)
Have a safe, fun filled trip back.
