Tomorrow will find us headed to Epcot, do some exploring, and planning on catching Illuminations, and hopefully get a good picture to post. Saturday finds us with Breakfast at WL, then hanging out at the Fort. So if you are here, stop by. For tonight, off to bed.

Chris,
Looks like a great day and more fantastic pics. We'll come over Saturday to get together.
I think we are all going over to do rope drop at MK in the morning. We haven't done that in a long time. We should be able to get on Space Mtn and Pirates pretty quick. DW wants to go back over to Disney Springs and wander. DS wants to ride the car/boats.
DW, DS and I did the KTTK tour today. It wasn't what I was expecting (thought it was mostly back stage), but still a very fun tour. Unfortunately 5 days in the parks, at least 12 hours each day, have done my feet in. After the tour (5 1/2 hours walking), all I wanted to do was sit... in A/C. We came back to the camper, took a nap and then went to Trails End for dinner. The buffet was good, as usual. Went looping after dinner. DN and my sister went swimming. Hot tubbing actually. The we went to the beach and to watch fireworks.
Just the kind of Fort day we like. A little parks. A little pool. And then fireworks.
Weather is showing a better chance of rain the next 2 days. Hopefully it won't effect the night time fireworks. I'd lime to go over to see Happily Ever After one more time.

Well it is time for an afternoon break, so we have returned to the Fort. Headed back to Epcot later for fireworks and some evening snacks. We picked up our golf cart, this was the final surprise to DW. We have one until Sunday, but a chance to get out and do some looping this afternoon before heading back to Epcot.
Tomorrow, we have late breakfast ressies at WL, about 940am, then back to the campsite hopefully to meet some fellow Diser's.
Were in Epcot this morning for a couple hours, rode Frozen for the first time, it is very cute.

@PaHunter you mean like the first time in forever. Ok Anna. ;D
You people are having too much fun there at the campground and the parks.
@Teamubr KTTK tour was very interesting when I was on mine. I really enjoyed the tour and the interesting tidbits that came with it. Yes it is alot of walking with a ferw number of breaks plus how can I forget. The fast pass of the rides and the strange looks one getts from others waiting in line.

We only went to the Fort for our departure breakfast at Trail's End this morning, but watching my grandkids play on the playground while we relaxed in rocking chairs made me anxious for our next trip there. This is our crew of kids and grandkids and we are worn slap out after the past week, but we had a blast and Disney more than made up for the struggles getting information after Irma.

Today was a catch up and shopping day.
We started at MK at 0830. Thinking we were going to see rope drop, but forgetting to look at EMH hours. Sure enough, today was an early day. We did get to do Buzz twice. Wanted to do Space Mouintain and Pirates, but both were late opening. We jumped on Jungle Cruise (it reopened yesterday) just as Fast pass started. Our 20 minute stand by went to 60. By the time the cruise was done Pirates and SM were open. Since we were next to Pirates, we jumped in line. Unfortunately SM was at an hour wait, so we headed out to Disney Springs. DW found a lovely Kate Spade business/credit card holder. I picked up the Space Mountain addition for my monorail set.
It was time for lunch and the Boathouse was right there. The menu prices scared DW, but we tried it and it was great. Huge portions and great food. The atmosphere is very fun.
We made it back to the camper in time to see PA Hunter's post about being at the Fort, so I took a run over and had a nice chat with Chris and his DW. It was great to put another face to a name. Chris was talking about breakfast at Whispering Canyon at WL and I remembered I never canceled my dinner reservation there tonight. With 40 minutes to go, I high tailed it back to the camper, texted DS who was at MK and we all made it to WL at exactly 640, our reservation time.
After dinner we did some shopping at the WL gift shop. DW saw a Dooney & Burke Mickey bag she hadn't seen, but had to come home with. (Chis and Jen. I told you.) I do have to admit it is cute.
It wasn't too late yet and DS wanted to see the MK lights from the Contemporary. DS discovered the bridge to BLT is open and the elevators aren't locked to guests only. And, there are really nice windows looking into MK from the elevator lobbies. He also found the outside stairs will take you to the roof of the Contemporary if you are willing to walk the 12 flights up. He has some great pics from up there. I thought that observation deck was limited to DVC and California Grill customers. They must feel that if you can hike up 12 flights, you should be rewarded with something.
Here's the view from the 15th floor of BLT.
Overall, a great day.
No specific plans tomorrow. I have to return the cart at 10. After that, I'm not sure what we will do. I'll need to start packing up as we will be hitting the road for home very early Sunday morning.

So as the Man said, we did get to catch up with TeamUBR and talk some. We then headed back to Epcot for the fireworks....oh yea which happen to be at 10pm.
Got a few pictures, Illuminations seems light on the fireworks side. Been a long time since I have seen it.

Loving the reports of everyone down at the Fort already. We left home yesterday around noon and made it to Canonsburg PA. Early start this.morning and have just stopped for the night in Ridgeville SC. Kids are having a big swim after being cooped in the car for two days. We will be checking to the KOA in St. Petersburg tomorrow for two nights, then to the fort Tuesday!
