Epcot with Trina and Delbert

Today Delbert and Trina joined us at Epcot.

We pointed out our picture on the Leave a Legacy wall.

Goofy was there to greet all of the goofy people who arrived before the park opened.

After a fast morning ride on Soarin', we headed into Living with the Land.

Are these are the same hydroponic plants we have seen here for year on end or are they new ones because the old ones died?

Last summer Epcot brought back a blast from the past: Captain EO starring Michael Jackson and the ever-popular elephant, Hooter.

Bruce swallowed a couple of old people.

Some flowers were planted here. Don't know what kind.

Mission Space was fun for Trina, but not a favorite of Delbert's.

The nearest smoking area can be found somewhere straight ahead and to the left.

The poor city suffered from a blackout with Trina and Delbert trying to supply the energy. Trina blamed it on her malfunctioning stick.

A friendly tourist took this awesome picture of us in from of The American Adventure.

Props are ready for Illuminations: Reflections of Earth in a few hours.

Oh my! It's the band at Germany's Biergarten Restaurant. Enjoy the music with a little bit of German meatloaf. And we DO mean a little.

Magic Kingdom & Epcot with Friends

Friends Graham, MaryAnne and Chloe came for a visit to Disney World. We caught up with them at The Magic Kingdom where Graham and Chloe were sporting their Happy Birthday! buttons. Happy 11th and 39th!

We were all treated to a front row seat for the Celebrate A Dream Come True Parade.

Lilo and Jessie showed up.

And, of course, Mickey and Minnie were the stars of the show.

Celebrate Today!

Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket put in a cameo.

Cinderella was riding with Prince Charming in her pumpkin coach courtesy of her Fairy Godmother.

Even the Beast believes in Dreams Come True.

Take the picture already!

Their birthday celebration today concluded with a dinner at Cinderella's Royal Table.
A couple of days later, we met up with them again at Epcot.
We found Donald about to be clobbered by some anti-social children on the Gran Fiesta Tour featuring The Three Caballeros based on the 1944 animated feature.
They decided these hats would not fit in their luggage, so a picture would have to do.
Everyone enjoyed seeing their future on Spaceship Earth.

Tampa RV Supershow

Today we visited the Tampa RV Supershow with Delbert and Trina at the Florida State Fairgrounds.

You would think for a $10 admission price per person they could come up with something better than this generic boring sign.

Trina is in awe of the $2 million motorcoach she just toured.

She has decided to save her pennies and buy it next time.

A unique feature of one fifth wheel at the show was its own outdoor deck which folds up on the side of the unit while traveling.

Very nice, but you'll need a wide campsite for this one.

Doug prefers the motorhome he already owns.

The show featured some motorized entertainment.

One of the strongest armadillos in the world was here to pull this float.

Another unique feature we saw was the rear end kitchen in a fifth wheel.
