All, thanks for the well wishes. They're very much appreciated.
Last night was a quiet one here and early to bed. One interesting small camper rolled into the loop last night. It's small enough for two people to lay down in (note the red accent lights shining on the ground though). It had a bike rack on it and two bikes in the site. Although it's light and towable by lots of everyday vehicles, keeping the tongue weight close enough might be a task.
I have a new Trails End To Go menu that I will scan and make available when I get home. For the second night in a row we ate our grilled chicken breasts (leftover ones we reheated in the microwave) with a take-out side item from TE2GO. The first night was french fries which they serve in a bag. But the mac-n-cheese (or mash or beans) are offered in the two containers shown below (to give you an idea of what you get). The one on the left is the small with the mac-n-cheese in it and it's about $3. It would serve maybe one adult or two small kids. The one on the right with the spuds is the large and it's a little over $4. You can also buy cornbread or biscuits too.
Here is the TE2GO sign at the cash register.
As far as the race this morning, I could tell lots of stories but it went well. Up at 3am, bus to Epcot, start the walk to the corrals down on Epcot Drive at 420am. While standing in my corral just waiting and ignoring the DJ showing the latest dance moves on the video screens and blaring through the speakers, I glanced to my right and saw a huge fireworks rocket, a single one, rising up above the treeline. "Strange time for fireworks", I said to myself. Then I realized it was the SpaceX launch from the Cape to the International Space Station (I'm a SpaceX junkie). The flame/rocket was visible for about 45 seconds. According to SpaceX, it took off at 447am which was when I saw it.

I took that as a good sign.
The race started at 530am with the wheelchair athletes first and then all the corrals at 4-5 minute intervals each with their own DJ countdown and fireworks. I lost count after 12 fireworks launches. I got to the start line at 625am. I kept my pace and finished 50 seconds under my total time goal (so my time is something like 12:56 a mile versus something like 13:02). That "12" versus a "13" was important to me. (A friend I had said his time would have been 12:62 instead of 13:02
). But my goal was 13 minutes per mile and came in just under that. Again, not a barn burner, just a happy finisher.
The Christmas tree is STILL up in the MK - bit of a surprise.
It's in the low 60s (63F if you want a number) with blue sky and thin high white clouds. Going to relax this afternoon and celebrate with dinner tonight over at Downtown Disney. Then we check out tomorrow. But I still have a few thinks planned before then.
Also don't drift away tomorrow from this TR if you are interested in camping places in Florida other than the Fort. We are going to zip down to Tampa for a short family visit and while there I want to check out a possible future destination which I will share in case anyone else is looking for somewhere else to camp in Florida. So stay tuned.

That's right at the start of Alabama's season.
