Here are my Epcot Pics.  Not exactly sure when these were but my son was born in December 1981 and I know my parents came down to visit when I lived in Florida around the time that Epcot first opened.  There was an article in the paper at the time about seeing Epcot in one day and he was like a commando.  We didn't even get to stop to eat.  So please enjoy these pics.

My father was a photographer and he passed away last September.  He took many slides of our trip to Disney in 1977 and I just digitized some of them.  Not sure how else to post them so I am just sharing a link to my facebook.  I especially love the Sky Ride pics.  Please enjoy.

I have magic Kingdom pics and other random Disney Pics from that time to post as well. 

Deb-

 

Are you related to any of the people in this photo?:

 

That guy in the white shorts is awesome.

 

And the orange robe on that lady?

 

The kid with the Thor shirt could fit in today.

 

And that kid in the orange t-shirt could pass for Nick Jonas of the Jonas brothers.

 

TCD

No, none of them are my family.  Funny thing is, my dad was a photographer and took very few pics of people.  The kids at the cart are my brother and sister and of course the family in front of the Fort Wilderness sign are my family but I have no idea who the rest of them are.  Yeah that could be a Jonas. 

These are vintage slides my father took in 1977 at the Fort.  I had to digitize them so they are not the best quality but I thought you all might enjoy them.  I still have several slide trays and a metal box of slides yet to do but i believe these are the only Fort pics.  There are some River Country and a couple of the Fort Wilderness Railroad.  https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10152211590549779.1073741837.686514778&type=1&l=8d3ff1e411

Spelling is good, the iPhone auto correct is the problem.

They were on beach all the way up to almost the end towards River Country. But there wer lots of lights on at river country as well. Not sure if it is usually lit up like that. I don't remember seeing that but then again my memory isn't so good anore.

Some type of filming going on at the fort beach tonight. Just got off boat and Ricer country is all lit up and a film crew is on the beach. Anyone know what's bei g filmed?

Can you use the Target debit card too?

Yes, I don't have a target debit but I am planning to go over today to get one so I can use that to pay for my cards. 

I have been buying Disney Gift Cards are Target with my Target Credit card for years.  Typically you don't get 5% off of Gift cards but Disney Cards are considered Entertainment Cards so you get 5% off.  I pay for my trip with the cards.  Last time I was there, I noticed that they have Southwest Airlines cards.  I wondered if it was the same for them.  Well I called the store and they told me no, you don't get 5% off because they are gift cards.  They didn't sound so sure so I went online and bought a card online and sure enough.  I got 5% off.  It isn't much but it can add up quickly when buying airfare for a family. 

So back on the ship we headed back to get a shower and ready for the show. Tonights show was Villians and i had heard it was good so i was excited. My daughter found some of the fiends in the balcony are so we sat with them.

After the show we were told to head out to look at the beautiful sunset. It certainly was.

Then it was off to dinner at Animators Palete.

I loved those port holes!!!

Crush moved around the restaurant talking to dinners. Theres Lorna taking a pic.

After dinner we headed to the District to watch the vertriloquist. His name escapes me at the moment but he was very funny. Show seemed far too short. Got one of those foo foo drinks with the blinking ice cube. I LOVE blinky things!!!

My daughter was tickled to death with the rest rooms in the District. THey were kind of cool. After the show we headed up to the top deck to get some ice cream. I was disappointed to see that everything was closed by 12:00 AM. Soooo we went back to our cabin and went to bed. Tomorrow Castaway Cay.

I forgot to mention that on the first night, my daughter went to a meet and greet for 18 - 21 years olds. She was disapointed that no one else showed up. I really had hoped she would find someone her own age to hang with. She did find a girl that was 18 but she was going to the teens club and Jackie was not allowed as she was 19. She did seem happy to hang out with us old folks anyway.

Day 2 of the Dream Cruise - Atlantis

We got up bright and early to be ready for our day at Atlantis. We watched the as we pulled into Nassua from our veranda. Did i say how much i LOVED having that veranda?

Since I am all about being waited on, we had breakfast at the Royal Palace. God it was soooooo good!

Once we finished breakfast we headed back to our cabin to get some cash but our safe would not open. We called someone to help but we didnt have time to wait so we headed out with no cash at all. We had to meet at the Walt Disney Theater to go off on our excursion to Atlantis.

We went out to board the buses to get to Atlantis and i couldnt believe that they just putting more and more people on the bus. I have to say it was one of the scariest rides i ever remember taking.

There were seats that folded out in the aisle. That is mom and sister sitting in the aisle. That is me in the front there behind my daughter who took the picture. She was sitting next to the driver. She was very freaked out when we got off the bus. YIKES!!!!!

We took the tour of the resort and then headed off to the water park. It was definately a beautiful resort but i had some reservations that i will talk about later.

Mom was not a big water park kind of person so we planted her in a nice shady spot with book while we tried out the lazy river. Well i have to say i have never been on a lazy river quite like that. It was LONGGGGG and had slides on it, rapids and more.

This was the view from one of the slides. We went on a few slides and kept waiting to get back to where mom was but it seemed that the river went on forever and ever. I was actually gettting worried and we got out of the river and started walking but couldnt seem to find mom. We found her almost by accident because she just happened to stand up when we got off the river at one point. She was worried and thought we were lost. We were! We headed to one of the counter services for lunch.

My daughter getting her first legal drink.

Mom was ready to head back to the ship so we walked her out to the bus stop and waited until she got on to head back to the ship. Little did i know that she decided to go shopping alone before she got back on the ship. I was soooo mad at her for doing that alone. She went to a jewlery store and bought some jewlery and then got nervous about the locals and went back to the ship.

We headed to the beach. I have to say i was not impressed at all. Now i realize that there had just been a hurricane the week before but the whole place including the water park seemed so dirty. The concrete walkways were slimy and really was grossing me out. the water didnt look so clean either. The beach was just as bad. I almost stepped on a glass someone left laying and there were people everywhere trying to sell you something. Anyway we stayed on the beach for maybe an hour at the most.

My daughter coming down one of the slides. I didnt go on this one only because i was just too tired to climb the steps.

This was one of the slides that ended in the shark tank. The problem was that there was so much algae, it was hard to see the sharks.

My daughter kep telling the whole day about the Mary Kate and Ashley movie that was filmed at Atlantis she watched when she was younger and just loved and pointing out places she remembered from the movie.

She got so excited when she saw this because she said that one of the boys in the movie actually had this job cleaning the tanks.

We headed back to the bus stop and of course stopped to shop along the way. My sister just couldnt pass a store and not go in.

Once we got back to the port, we had to find the Hard Rock Cafe for my sister.

I have to say that i was a little nervous walking around the streets near the port and was really annoyed and upset that my mother was walking around alone.

One last picture before getting back on the ship. I have to say i was not impressed at all with Nassua or Atlantis. It was dirty and grimy. Glad we went but i wouldnt do it again. Maybe it is because i have been on Disney property for a week and on their ship. They certainly didnt live up to those standards.

We had a great lunch and since we had our bathing suits under our clothes, it was off to do the Auquaduck before it got crowded.

Had the adult pool all to ourselves. This was going to be my heaven!!! My daughter was so in awe!!! We called my husband to tell him we were onboard and my daughter just about cried and asked him why we never did this before. SHe was just beside herself.

Our room was ready promptly at 1:30 so we headed down to drop off our stuff.

I just love this pillow.

We checked out the room and sat on our veranda and just soaked it up. We peaked in to see my mom intently watching the instructions on the tv on how to use the life vests. This of course sent us all into hysterics.

I decorated our door and put up our fish extender. Grumpy and Grandma stopped by and introduced themselves and i met Lynne and her husband next door to us. Headed out to the muster drill and then my sister headed back to get a shower. We headed to carols and got lost trying to find them but we eventually did and got to meet the rest of the fiends for the sail away party.

My sister missed the whole thing because she was still in the shower. No she wasnt shopping, the shops hadnt opened yet.

Had time for some pictures and then headed off to the Golden Mickeys. Wow what a show and what a Theatere.

Had a few minutes between the show and dinner and walked around the ship a little. My daughter being the shy thing she is (sarcasm) had the officers pose with her for a picture.

Tonight was dinner at the Royal Palace and i cannot believe i didnt get any good pictures of the restaurant. I did however get a picture of the bread basket that i SOOOOOO want. Dinner was awsome and our servers were great. However it was late when we finally got out of there.

Walked around for a while after dinner and then headed back to cabin. Loved the towel animals. Went to bed fairly early. Tomorrow - Atlantis.

Finally it was cruise day. Believe it or not, we were all up and ready to go on time. I was so afraid i would leave for our cruise and forget to leave the keys to the trailer. But i didnt. I was sorry to say goodbye to the 5th wheel. We really had a great time and i will most certainly rent from tina again. campatthefort.com Our limo was coming at 9:30 so i told my sister it was coming at 9 and the Disney van was picking us up at 8:30. What a sight. we had four large suitcases and four small ones. Well what do expect, we were four women. We got picked up promptly at 9 and waited at the outpost for our ride to the port.

We had reserved a stretch limo from Happy Limos and were thrilled when a SUV Limo pulled up.

We were so excited, we could hardly contain ourselves. Had a blast in the limo. Even stopped at Starbucks so my sister could get her coffee fix.

My daughter got the call from Mickey on the way to the port. She was hysterical laughing the whole time. Very cute!!

And there she is. I Had heard so many horror stories about the boarding process so i was a little worried. It was only around 10:45 when we pulled. There was a god awful line up in the parking garage but they let us in and got out at the gate. THere were a couple of people ahead of us but very soon afterwards they let us in. There was no crowd at all.

We went through security quickly and filled out the health form and then checked in. Much to my surprise we got boarding number 3

We got our picture with Mickey (notice the head tilt). Then went outside to wait to board. Wow, it was incredible to look at. I couldnt wait to get onboard.

I saw a woman waiting in the kids club line with an Auburn shirt on. I swore it had to be Jen so i walked up to see if it was and unfortunately it wasnt. I still hadnt met any of the fiends so i didnt know if i saw anyone waiting in the terminal.

Before long it was time to board.

They announced us boarding! How exciting. All i can say is WOW, just beautiful.

We then headed to the Enchanted Garden for lunch.

Mom found Bambi right away. It was one of those interactive pictures.

Here it was barely 11:30 and we were already having lunch. THere was hardly anyone around. AWSOME.

Ok, I am back. I have been so busy that i just couldnt get back to finish my report. But, two sick days from work and i am starting to feel better so i thought i would get back to it.

Saturday Day eight Last Day Magic Kingdom

As usual, it was a late morning before we got out for the day. Heading back to the Magic Kingdom to finish up in tomorrow land. We stopped a the porch of Crockets Tavern for the usual porch photo.

and of course the castle picture as well

I did manage to convince my sister to hold off on the shopping until we were done and it seemed to work.

We started out much to my daughters distress at Its a Small World. Nothing like having that song in your head all day long. This is her "How could you do this to me face"

We saw some characters.

We stopped for the photo op at the sword in the stone. My daughter was first.

Then mom

And then lo and behold, looky what happened. It was very funny.

We headed over to Tomorrow Land. Did most of the stuff there.

We got done everything early so my sister could do her shopping. I got the Mickey Mouse icon watch I had been eyeing. My daughter wanted a purse she had seen at Hollywood studios but I couldn’t find it at the MK. We finished up fairly early and headed back to the fort for dinner. Before heading back to the 1600 loop I took a walk through the 400 and 500 loop looking for some fort fiends. I saw Doodles sign but no one was around. So I gave up and headed back to the trailer for dinner.

We decided to head back to the MK again for the parade and fireworks. Due to my sister’s slowness we got back too late to stake out a good spot for the parade. She also fell while getting off the boat and took a header into the railing. She was fine though. We were right on the corner at the beginning of main street. We were behind the cross walk and had people walking through and stopping in front of us throughout the entire parade. The cast member kept trying to move them along. My daughter got so aggravated that she yelled to move it (probably not that nice) and I thought the person she yelled to was going to come back and start a fight with her. Fortunately she moved along.

We then watched wishes and the fireworks. I really wished I had gotten closer for wishes. I had never seen it before and couldn’t see it very well.

We headed back to the fort to start packing and do laundry.

We pooped mom out big time. She was a trooper and hung in there like a pro. She was going to need a vacation from our vacation,

I gave the leftover food to our next door neighbor. I hated to throw it out. We went to bed after the laundry was done. We had to be up for our pick up at 9:00 to head to the port.

Tomorrow the Disney Dream. We were all so excited. Hopefully i can get back her to work on the cruise portion of our trip.

Wow, I don't want to come off as a dirty old man, which BTW I am, but your daughter is something else. I know, it's off topic.

And I bet TCD was thinking the same thing.

Oh, great TR too.

Thank you, she is a beautiful girl, but then again i am partial to her.

Day 7, Friday, September 2 - EPCOT

Went back to Epcot to do future world.

First we went to get a fast pass for Soarin. Then headed the other direction to Universe of Energy. I finally got to go on Mission Space. I LOVED IT!! Last time we were here i never did get to go on. I cant remember why, but i didnt. Then of course Test Track and then headed over to the other side to see Captain Eeo. I think i saw this long ago but i dont quite remember. Yeah it was very cheesy.

We then headed over to the land and took the boat ride. We got to see everything there including Turtle Time with Crush. I had never gone to see that before. It was very cute.

Next was the Living Seas.

Hidden Mickey

The smiling Dolphins.

This ride and i cant even remember what it is called is very similar to the Finding Nemo subs in Disneyland. Very cute.

We headed back to the fort for dinner. My brother in law was another no-show. I was very disappointed since i wanted to see him so bad. Maybe next time.

After dinner we headed to the pool for a bit then down to the dock to watch the water pagent. It hasn’t changed a whole lot over the years and my sister even remembered some of it from the 70’s.

Then we were off to bed. Tomorrow, our last day at Walt Disney World at the Magic Kingdom.

Day Six, Thursday, September 1, 2011 - Hollywood Studios

My favorite park. Of course we got out late as usual. Didn’t bring lunch today because we hoped to eat at the Sci Fi Diner. Note to self –make reservations next time. While waiting for the bus at the outpost, my mom tripped over the leg of the bench and fell and landed on her face. I couldn’t believe not one person got up and asked if she was ok. Not even the bus driver. I am sure he probably didn’t see it. Mom was so upset. She broke her glasses and cut her face up. She insisted that she was fine and got on the bus. As soon as we got to the park my sister and her headed right for the first aid station. We teased her and said that we think she just wants to see all the first aid stations. She was fine but ended up a little black and blue. This would be the first of several falls between the four of us. While they did that, dd and I ran and got fast passes for Rockin Roller Coaster and then headed towards the hat to meet them.

We passed many street perfomers and stopped to watch.

DD was watching the Disney Channel thing near the hat. She may be 19 years old and getting married soon but she really is still a little girl. She loves Justin Bieber, Camp Rock, High School Musical, the Jonas Brothers. Mom was ok, she ruined her new glasses and had a gash on her nose from the nose piece of her glasses and a few bruises, but she was ok.

I think we went on the Movie Ride first and then headed toward Star Tours. I really like the 3D changes. Was a lot of fun.

Of course we got to the Muppets and the New York Street for pictures. Not sure who my daughter is looking at. We tried to have lunch at Sci Fi only to find them swamped.

Did get a pic though.

Tried Prime Time Café and had the same problem. Decided to get some quick counter service as we had reservations for Fantasmic Dinner Package at 4.

Headed to the Tower of Terror (mom even went on) We are the second row on left.

Then of course it was to my favorit the Rocking Roller Coaster. Mom did not go with us.

We went to the Disney One Mans Story. I just love this!!!! Look Mom found her favorite BAMBI. Had a great day. I think we missed the parade here. I don’t remember. Of course it was time for dinner and it was POURING. We decided to make a run for it. When I got there, I was told that there was no reservation. I had a gut feeling this was going to happen. Since I had originally booked my cruise and campground through that other place, I left my campground reservation with them since it was already paid for when we transferred our cruise to Rhonda. Anyway the agent at that other place told me when I asked how much it was, that I paid when I got there and the price depeneded on what I ordered. I have done this package at least three times prior and remember paying a set fee in advance. I questions the agent and was told no, that we paid based on what we ordered and that she had been doing this for years and this was how it was done. This was bugging the hell out of me so I checked once again before we left. Again I was assured that we had a reservation and we pay there depending on what we order. Well here we were and there was no reservation. Of course I forgot the paper work back at the fort that had my reservation number. The place was mobbed and there was nothing they could do. Well I had just gotten an i-phone so I looked up the website and was able to retrieve my reservation. I also emailed the TA since there is no phone number to call. I went back and they were so nice and were able to squeeze us in at 6:00.

Dinner was great and delicious. Got a few emails during dinner from the TA saying she keeps trying to call me but my phone was saying that the call could not be completed. Strange because it was working for everyone else. She also said that she keeps looking and the reservation is there and that it must be on Mama Melroses system. Well they looked and had a supervisor look and there was nothing. And oh yeah, it was a set amount and had nothing to do with what you ordered just like I thought. Soooo, needless to say, I will not use that place again. But we had a great meal and then headed over to do the backlot tour but due to the rain, it was closed. We shopped (of course, my sister was with us) then headed off to Fantasmic.

I so love this show. We got blinking Mickey ears (I really LOVE blinky and glowy things) and I got one of the blinking skulls for our campground Halloween celebration. Headed back to the fort exhausted. What a long but very fun day. Tomorrow, Friday and back to Epcot to do Future World.

Day Five, Wednesday, August 31 - Typhoon lLagoon

One of my favorite parks!!!! Of course we didn’t get out as early as I hoped.

In fact the whole trip we NEVER did. I had gotten my daughter a water proof case for her camera so we were going to test it out today. Of course we didnt know how to use it, hence the round circle around many of the pictures. THere was an attachment that we later learned was supposed to go on the inside to center the lens. Oh well, live and learn.

First on the agenda was Crushen Gusher. My all time favorite. We rode it a couple of times while mom sat and watched. Then we headed to the shark tank. My daughter had never been to this park so I had told he about it and she was a little leary of trying it. We started off with my holding her hand. She was freaking out right away so I tried to get to the rock where you can stop but she was having none of it. The life guard came over and got her out. She was so upset because she really wanted to do it but it was not going to happen.

THis is Jackie watching us on the bridge.

I know, beautiful picture. There is just no way to look sexy in this gear.

I got a lot of pics in the tank. It was really hard to see the screen underwater and to know if the lens was centered right so that is what the circle is around the pics.

Mom was not going on any of the slides except the family slide and she did go on the lazy river and just waded in the wave pool.

It was amazing that my daughter loved me while we were on vacation. That all changed when we got home. But i am glad i got to enjoy it while it lasted.

Mom got sunscreen that ran into her eye and was burning really bad. We had to make a stop at the first aid station for an eye wash. Got hit with a thunderstorm around 3:00 which closed down everything for a while. Found a nice spot to wait it out and headed out to get some ice cream. Of course I walked clear to the other side of the park only to return to see ice cream a few feet away from where we were sitting. They reopened at 4:00. By then most people had left which meant we could ride crushin gusher over and over with no line. We were so tired and our feet ached so bad from climbing the steps. We remarked to one of the cast members that they needed an elevator. They so nicely told us that there was one. WOOOOO HOOOO, rode it some more.

Headed back to the fort in anticipation of my ex brother in law coming to visit from the west coast of florida. Since we were already wet, we stopped at the pool to ride the slide a couple of times before heading back to make dinner. There were cards left on our door from Grumpy and Grandma and someone else. I was hoping to run into them again. I was so sad that my BIL wasn’t able to come. He said he would try to come on Friday. We did some laundry and headed to bed. Tomorrow, Hollywood Studios.

Day Four Animal Kingdom

My daughter would not get up to go to AK. She said she hated that place and was not about to go there so she slept in. While waiting at the Outpost bus stop I saw a man walking up wearing a Phillies shirt. We did see a lot of them on our trip. I was about to ask him where he was from and I then saw his sons tshirt. It was our local baseball association’s tshirts. Lo and behold they were from my own neighborhood. My daughter even went to the same school as her daughter. They were staying in a cabin and I so would have loved for my daughter to find someone her own age to hang out with. However , she wasn’t there.

First place we headed was to A Bugs Life. I was so happy to see that that it was open. It had been on the rehab list but it was done and reopened. YAY!!!

We next headed to my other favorite Expedition Everest. We sat mom down while Sister and I went on. Ok, someone please tell me if i am wrong but didnt they used to have yeti on the ride? Now they just have a shadow. What the heck.

Stopped for some yummy ice cream and then headed to the Kali River Rapids. I was prepared and had rain coats. My sister didnt want one and guess who got soaked. Oh and i visited my favorite rest room near expedition everest. When we were there back in 2008, my niece and i were drying our hands and i couldnt believe how powerful the blower hand dryers were. It was blowing my skin all over and we were in stitches laughing our heads off. So while we were there, got mom to use them. I did take a video but i wouldnt begin to know how to post it here. It was hysterical though.

We then headed to Dino Land

Although i like the Dinosaur ride, the rest of it doesnt impress me. However my mother and sister had never been there before so we took our time.

Every time my mother would sit and wait for us while we were on something, we would come back and sometimes she didnt see us right away. So we decided we would sit there and wait to see how long before she noticed us. it got to be funny at times because she would darn near sit and stare at us and not even see us.

Didnt see us.

Still didnt see us.

We headed over and did the safari and took the walk before we got a spot for the parade.

Of course my sister shopped while i staked out a spot for the parade. We had a great day. I still have never made it on the train to Rafikkis station or whatever it is. Hope I am not missing anything important.

Got back to the fort and fired up the grill for some steaks. This is usally my husbands job so I have little experience with it. All was going well until we had a down pour that put out my charcoal. My sister and I tried to get it lit again in the rain. We were soooo hungry. Finally got it and finished dinner and had a visit from my friend who moved into the area. We wanted to head down to the dock to watch the water pagent but it wasn’t meant to be due to the rain. We instead went to bed early. Tomorrow my favorite Typhoon Lagoon.

Continuation of Day three - Magic Kingdom

We had planned to go back to the Magic Kingdom to see the fireworks and the Electric parade. We waited for a bus for about half an hour and by the time it was 8:30 we gave up and went back to the campsite. We decided to head over to the pool and the campfire.

I was disappointed that the new slide closed at 8:00. I was so looking forward to trying it out. However we got to go in the hot tub and the pool. Our feet were so sore already and our bodies ached. Yeah i know, were old. What can i say.

Had a wonderful evening and we enjoyed ourselves. Headed back to get some sleep. Tomorrow Animal Kingdom.

Great so far, more, more

August 29th Day three Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom day.

Again late getting started. It wasn’t like I wasn’t up early enough. We again packed lunch. Anyway headed straight to space mountain for a fast pass and met mom and sister back on main street. Headed over to Adventure land first. Hit the Jungle Cruise first, then the Tiki room and then Pirates. Got my daughter her pirate princess ears and a shirt and then off to the Country Bears and then got caught in a downpour.

We ducked into the Hall of Presidents and waited out the rain.

When we came out we were just in time to get a spot for the parade. I have never seen a parade from Liberty Square so this was a first for me.

Headed over to Splash mountain. That and Big Thunder Mountain were closed due to the rain. We were able to get back to do Splash Mountain but BTM never opened again while we were in the area.

Of course we stopped for those picture ops along the way. Walked through Fantasyland. Was amazed that the most lines were in this area. Was interesting to see all the signs for the New Fantasyland. Guess that means I will have to take another trip when it is all done. We didn’t do anything in Fantasyland but headed over to Space Mountain before heading back to the fort for dinner.

Now if I can just figure out a way to keep my sister OUT of the gift shops. She spends at least a half hour or more in each one. At this pace, we are never going to get to see and do everything we want. Tomorrow - Animal Kingdom

So funny, i forgot to mention that in almost every picture i took of my daughter, she has her head tilted. I tease her telling her it is her Barbie Pose.

Day 2, Sunday, August 28, 2011 Epcot

Well my sister is known for being on the slow side so it was almost 11 before we ever left the Fort. She had not been to WDW since we were kids when all that was there was the Magic Kingdom and River Country so it was all new to her. We packed our lunch. We took the boat over to the Magic Kingdom and then the monorail to the transportation center and then to Epcot. My sister wanted to ride the monorail and that was probably the only time we would get to ride it so off we went.

We got to Epcot and dd and I ran to get fast passes for Soarin. We did dd favorite, spaceship earth and then headed to the world showcase.

My dd always loved Epcot even as a kid and couldn’t wait to the the Kidcot Stops.

She tried on hats at every country.

She even got her Beer Goggles on in Germany.

My sister got to enjoy her beer as well.

I just love the Mexico pavilion. Not a great pic but still brings me back.

Finshed the countries and then headed to do Soarin before staking out a spot for Illuminations and then headed back to the fort for a late dinner. Tomorrow Magic Kingdom.
