Christmas at The Magic Kingdom

Tonight we decided to go to The Magic Kingdom to see the nighttime Spectro Magic Parade and Cinderella's Castle decorated for Christmas.

Here's The Castle seconds after being lit for the night.

Along the way we ran into Buzz Lightyear in Tomorrowland.

Scrooge McDuck was busy conducting an autograph session.

Here's Marlon on the top deck of the steam-driven Liberty Belle Riverboat as we take the 17 minute tour of the Rivers of America.

Later, we headed back for another glimpse of Cinderella's Castle.

Marlon stands on Main Street waiting for the Spectro Magic Parade to begin.

He has a brief visit with Walt and Minnie.

Crowds are roped off in anticipation of the start of the parade.

Here's the lighting ceremony of Cinderella's Castle and the Spectro Magic Parade as filmed by Marlon.

Green Meadows Petting Farm

Today we headed out to visit Green Meadows Petting Farm in Kissimmee.

Here was the Proverb of the Day.

Green Meadows conducts group tours of the farm and animal pens. It is a unique and fun hands-on experience for everyone.

Here's Marlon milking the cow.

There's something wrong with this picture and it has nothing to do the 1 week old baby chicks.

There's nothing wrong with this picture of Doug and a baby duckling.

Marlon tells the pig to look up and smile.

This baby goat is ready to be fed. This is the first petting place we have been to where the babies can climb completely through the fence and not have to compete with all the adults for food.

In this pen, we played (yes!) Catch a Duck.

I'm not sure this duck looks to pleased with the game.

Time to go on a hayride.

This chicken does not have bird flu or male pattern baldness. This type of chicken does not grow feathers on his neck.

This is a Polish chicken, although a lady from Poland was on our tour and said she had never seen such a chicken in Poland.

Marlon has gotten so much bigger since RVing that he can no longer fit in the outhouse.

Here is cool video of our visit to Green Meadows-No animals were harmed in the making of this film.

Trip to Monaco Service Center, Wildwood, Florida

Today we headed 60 miles north of Theme World to the Monaco Service Center in Wildwood, Florida. Here we would be addressing all of our factory warranty issues which needed to be corrected in regards to our 1 year factory warranty.

They have 40 service bays at this service center along with a 40 site RV Park.

The first night we were at the service center we were parked right outside a service bay. The next day we were assigned this RV Site.

We expected to be leaving on Friday, December 7 but luck was not with us. We had to wait for some parts and ended up staying until Wednesday, December 12. We had to work at Epcot two days and made the 60 mile one way commute from the service center.

By staying, however, we were able to attend a nearby Barbecue Cookoff on Saturday. This was the first time this event had been held in Wildwood but they plan on doing it every year.

Doug had some luck when he entered a drawing and won an auto detailing kit.
