Collectively, it was the kids’ “Best Day Ever!”

Magic Kingdom
We think there are more people here than yesterday, if that’s possible. The lines were very long and spilled out into the streets. It seems that the park can’t handle the mob. There are just too many people. It’s a chore for the kids to “hold hands” but it seems way too risky to let them go!
Today we did the following attractions:
- Pirates of the Caribbean
- Indy Race cars
- Stitch’s Great Escape
- It’s A Small World
- Rode Tommorowland Transit Authority (Mag Lev)
- Saw the Light Parade
- Watched the fireworks from outside the “Winnie the Poo” Ride (Geoffrey was so amazed he couldn’t contain himself (in a good way))
- Peter Pan’s Flight
- Mickey’s PhilharMagic Show
- The Many Adventures of Winnie the Poo
- Mickey’s Country Home
- Snow Whites Scary Adventures
- Cinderella’s Carrousel
- Carousel of Progress
- Bought Souvenirs

Kennedy Space Center
Today promised to be a less hectic day. The Space Center is only six miles from the marina. The kids met a character actor astronaut and had their pictures taken with him. We also got shots of them “orange space suits,” Geoffrey and Sandi did the “Shuttle Launch Experience,” and then Geoffrey and I did it. We all visited the Shuttle Explorer.
We participated in the interactive space display “Exploration in the new Millennium” and saw a 3-D Imax Movie about landing on the moon.
While dining in the MILA Diner, the kids were required to report on the “three things they learned at the space center.” They all learned more that required, so they earned the opportunity to make three purchases at the Souvenir Store.
We went to dinner at Beef O’Brady’s in Cocoa Beach.

Good Bye, Disney Crew!
Weather: Temp range – mid 60’s to 80o; bright and sunny all day; light wind in the marina
Comment: As usual, things start moving slowly at around 0800. By 0930, we were having “Dunkin Donuts” at the picnic table. The kids played a bit, ran around, and tested the pool water temp before helping gather their belongings. By 1100, good-byes were exchanged and they were off for the long ride to Sandi’s House in Myrtle Beach.
We cleaned the boat and made ready for our next crew, Joe and Dee Fritz who will join us tomorrow in New Smyrna.
