I'm so excited for you, Carol!! Having your family all together at the Fort is awesome!

I am thinking though that fiends may need a GC driving refresher course. So far we have taken out a tree, some bushes and now an innocent flamingo!!

Waiting for more. :popcorn:

Time for one more update, then I gotta get some work done.

We arrived at Magic Kingdom, and we all needed tickets. Rick and I had old 2-day tickets left from free dining that we upgraded to APs, and all the kids had pre-ordered their tickets online and just had to pick them up.

So we enter Magic Kingdom and it starts sprinkling, and I put the camera away. Really don't want an expensive paperweight on my hands.

Just as we're getting to the restaurant, the bottom drops out!! We were SOAKED before we could get in there.

Cause of the rain, the lobby is super crowded, but we put our name in and wait on our table.

Not sure you can tell from these pictures, but everybody is pretty damp

Our salads arrive, yum!!!

Yummy rolls

Now for the feast!

Turkey, Steak, mashed taters, stuffing, and all the other fixins

Oh mannnn, I forgot to take a picture of dessert!!!

OK, dinner is over and the rain has slowed down to an annoying mist, so we venture back out after some odd problems with our room charge.

What a beautiful family! :heart: I completely understand why you were giddy! How wonderful that you could ALL be on vacation together!

I'm so excited for you, Carol!! Having your family all together at the Fort is awesome!

Glad you saved the camera! That would've been a really expensive paperweight!

Great Fam... Great Food... Great Memories! :)

Awesome...

Great pics!!!

Glad you got to spend time with the family!

Looks like a nice family dinner Carol! Thanks for sharing

I knew you said your boys were tall now I understand why you were glad when Lorna offered her MH!! Lot's of happy faces!!

Thanks for all the comments!! It was wonderful to have my boys and their girlfriends on the trip with us!! They were WONDERFUL young gentlemen this time. Last big family trip, they still had that teenage slug thing going on and things were rather unpleasant at times, but this trip was really awesome.

Yep, they are tall. That's the only thing my ex did right, give me two tall handsome boys!!

Yeah, Fiends golf cart skills do need to improve!!!

Dinner was good!!

Yep, I'm looking for some kind of water resistant "wrap" for the camera, there's got to be something out there.

You know their height wasn't the issue with the tents. They are long tents and we have extra long twin air mattresses, but just the work of setting them up on little time was the hassle. Lorna's MH saved my sanity!!!!!

More trip report coming up!!! Finished today's mundane task, so I have time to play!!

Well, the rain cranked up again, we were about to go on Pirates, but it was down, so we went over to Country Bear Jamboree instead

OK, about this time, Rick was done for the evening and headed back to the camper, the kids and I saw that the Electrical Parade was about to start, so we parked ourselves and watched!!

Partway through the parade, I decided I was done for the day, so I gave the camera to my son, and worked my way out of the park.

This involved waiting a very long time for the boat, watching some emergency workers doing "something" in the docking area around the boats, and finally giving up and walking to the Contemporary and catching a boat there.

Here are the pics my son caught while they finished the evening

I know you were looking forward to this trip with the boys I am so glad that you had such a great time, and a much needed rest afterwood.

I love the pictures of the parade that camera is great, I might consider getting one, but why bother since I never use the one I have.

But the pictures are great

Carol, your boys are truly handsome young men! I completely appreciate the metamorphosis between teenage @$$&$ and the delightful young men! My Chris was much the same. He appreciates Disney so much more now and I once again don't mind him going with me!

Love the pics!

I also like CBJ, but I have to admit it's been a long time since I've seen it. Your pictures have motivated me to go see it again.

I don't LOVE the MSEP, but I do love Pete and his dragon.

Extra long air mattresses? ??? Who'd a thunk it?

How come they don't make extra short mattresses?

Yeah, CBJ is just an original, corny and cool!! You'd be surprised what tent camper folks come up with!!

They do, they are called crib mattresses. Or you may enjoy a crate mattress.

LOL!!! Now that's just funny there!!
