I love that picture of your daughter making the star with the sprkler - How did you do that?

Light Writing is all about shutter speed, this article does a really good job of explaining it. Light Writing How To

TR is off to a great start! I too like the sunset photos a lot, looks like the boys were having fun running around before bed. Bring on some more! :suspense:

Advice on the the drinks if you stop and Ohana and buy a shot of Malibu Rum and pineapple juise(3.00) you can spike two Dole Whips and make adult floats to enjoy.

And sir I salute Yuri and yourself for a fine job.

Itch

That sounds delicious! We will have to try that next time we're there.

Yuri is surely one of our favorite names to see in a TCD TR, it always means there will be unwelcome consumption of TCD's beer and leftover GAG, as well as some excellent investigative reporting.

:popcorn: Looking good so far, can't wait to read more!

My boys are excited to try the Pirate Cruise the next time we get down there. Those desserts look excellent! :popcorn:

Great Pics, Thanks for sharing....nothing like seeing some Disney Pics to make us smile!

Great Pictures! Looks like you all had a good time, Thanks for sharing with us!

I agree with your father about duct tape. I have "fixed" plenty of things with it. But, I assume someone was paid to fix the backflow thingamajig, and that maybe something other than duct tape was in order.

TCD

We were always taught, if it moves and it's not supposed to, put duct tape on it. If it doesn't move and it's supposed to, put WD-40 on it. :banana:

TCD, I don't think anybody would be upset even if you post the TR a month later..We just love reading them...

:bellringer:

Yup, just what he said! Keep them coming!

Another great report, Can't wait for the next one to launch! Thanks for sharing

Loving it so far, Keep it coming! :popcorn:

I too am on board, let cross a few things off that list!

As usual I'm late to the party for the latest TCD trip report. Loving your pictures of the lake in the morning, You make me want to get up early the next time we are at the Fort! Keep the great reports coming, the more the better! :popcorn:

Thanks for sharing that! I would love to be able to get down there, maybe next year. My two boys and I would be in there for hours I'm sure!

One thing cool about these rooms, as well as the rooms in the main tower, is that the rooms themselves were originally built off site, and then brought to the site, and slid into the building framework like drawers. When a room is upgraded, they just slide the old room out, and slide another one in place. The designers of this resort were well ahead of their time:

I did not know this about the design of that building, that is really cool info! Who knew that this TR would turn educational on an architectural level!

On the way out of the Magic Kingdom, we ran into something we had never witnessed before. I think it is called the Flag retreat, and it is something that is done every day.

From what I gather, they select a veteran each day to assist with this. It is very well done. Here are some photos showing what happens. The guy in the jorts is the veteran of the day:

I really appreciate the fact that WDW takes the time to do this on a daily basis.

As the parent of a Soldier I too appreciate this gesture. I too was unaware that Disney did this. We will surely attend this during our next visit. Thanks TCD for taking the time to photograph the Service and make us all aware of it.

Great another TCD trip report already, I just wish we could get to DW as much as the TCD gang.

My wife commented how nice it must be to go to WDW as often as the TCD Family does. I take this as hope that some day I will convince her it would be better to live in central Florida than southern Mass!

In the mean time, we will live vicariously through TCD and his most incredible Trip Reports! :popcorn: :suspense:

This is like Christmas, how many TCD TR's can we handle in such a short time! We're loving it! Can't wait for more :popcorn: :suspense: :popcorn:

Arriving at the Fort!

And of course, this was just after we pulled out to head home!

Have you ever seen such a despondent little boy??
