My family & I just returned from a wonderful trip to Disney World. It was the first time our family had been together at Disney in 7 years. Someone always had school or other schedules to keep, so this trip was very special. We stayed in a 2 bedroom at Bay Lake Towers. What a wonderful place to stay! We could look off our balacony and view the fireworks from Epcot and watch the Water Pageant Parade twice! If we walked down the hall and across, we could view the fireworks from the Magic Kingdom. Also, the fireworks could be viewed from the walkway between the Contemporary and Bay Lake or on top by Vacation Club members on the 16th floor. The view we had of Bay Lake was beautiful and the pool was loved by all.
We had family time as well as time to ourselves. The children are 20 and 21, so they could venture on their own. This marked my 47th time at Disney World. Not bad for living in Wisconsin.
The Electrical Parade has returned in the Magic Kingdom for the summer which was great to see and relive fond memories.
We were saddened to hear Toontown will be coming down, making room for the expansion of Fantasyland. Hopefully they take Mickey's house and place it back when construction is complete. While we were there it still was open and they were making a new home for Mickey near or in the Exhibition Hall.
Stars Wars Weekend was fun and very busy. I felt sorry for the wookie because the weather was hot and humid. With the heat index right after we left it reached 102 degrees!
Next month I will be traveling to Disneyland for a convention and checking out the new World of Color which is being presented for the summer.
