Disney World 2008

We have spent the last few days at Disney World. I came to a conference with my director and the science specialist. We brought the family with us. It was great to do the conference during the day and then catch up with Brian and the kids in the parks. We spent one day at each of the parks and also at Blizzard Beach Water Park. We stayed at the Disney Yacht and Beach Club. The conference hotel was already booked but this was next door and I think the best situation. The hotel was fabulous. It had a great pool area with sand and slides. Then across the lake was the boardwalk. The kids loved watching the magic tricks. It was similar to being on the Atlantic Boardwalk. Hannah seemed to get in on a few of the tricks. The kids started collecting and trading pins. It is a hot item here and expensive. Mike and Pam searched and found them each special pins. Today Zach was spotted by a cast member and given a very special pin that cannot be purchased but can only be received. The memories have been made! Well it is almost 11 pm and we are starting our trip home in the morning. It will be a nice long drive but hopefully the kids will sleep since we haven't been going to bed until at least 11 each night.

This is a picture of our hotel from the landing for the boat launches. We took the boat to Epcot, Hollywood Studios and the Boardwalk.
