On that Dale car Keith. I was talking to the guy in the NASCAR shop, who didn't have any Marcos gear by the way :roll: . Anyway, he knew bugger all about the sport and even declared the drivers not real athletes. But get this, he classed soccer players as the most athletic! Can you believe that? Anyway, I didn't last long in there as you could imagine, well at least until Ros came and saved the poor guy anyway.

I have just loaded another update everyone, although I haven't done a WDW yet. We have just finished our second day here at the world, so I'll do one probably just after xmas when things settle a bit. But I can say that apart from it being packed, we are really enjoying it so far. The place is huge and we've finally got our head around it. It's 11:45pm so I'm off to bed.

Spent probably the best way I could think to spend xmas eve. We had a day at EPCOT, I love that park. We had lunch/dinner at nine dragons, went and saw the candlelight processional and finished the day with Illuminations which was just spectacular. Can't wait to go back and do that again (without the candlelight of course). As I type this we're up early getting ready for breaky at Cape May, spend an easy xmas day just exploring the resort and dinner at Cap'n Jacks at Downtown.

Can't wait to hear about your Christmas day. It is Boxing Day here today - cold, wet and far from Summer.

Funny enough - I can't think of a better way either!

Illuminations is just brilliant - and the soundtrack for that grows on you (make sure you buy it if you don't already own it!)

As Beth says, it is cold, dark and wet (very wet!) here!

kinda distressing to see there was a new batch of photos and a new blog post ajp, when I have 5 minutes before I have to go to work today. :shock: :lol: oh well, it kept me going through the chaos that is the post-c'mas sales. Looks like you guys are having an awesome time -/

Excellent blog update Anthony.

I laughed at Jess' experience on Rockin' Roller Coaster - it is a pretty intense way to begin your upside-down coaster career!

I don't need to Google Edward James Olmos - I'm a geek - and every geek watches the new Battlestar Galactica, even my Dad! :D Hearing EJO would have made my day :)

Sounds like the crowds are pretty wicked there over Christmas - they should begin dying down soon I hope. Glad you liked Test Track and Mission to Mars - two of my favourites too.

Your Mickey Mouse luggage looks cool - although you haven't got nearly enough luggage to be proud of yet, there are four of you - I want to see 8 large suitcases when you head home + cabin bags! :)

Keep the updates coming!

Hi All, another easy day today. It's NYD and we've done a few late nights in a row. 29th was EPCOT EMH, 30th was MK EMH and 31st was Hollywood Studios EMH. Kids got up at 11am, but that's OK it's raining here and we've just moved into the Caribbean Beach as well, so we're settling and catching up. We're in the Pirate room which is very Piratey! Photos will be posted probably this afternoon on the blog (I just caught up this morning so there will be lot's of updates).

As Colin said, we caught up with them the other day and I enjoyed finally meeting him and Leanne. We had a nice afternoon just chatting in the foyer of the Boardwalk. We went to the Studios after that.

Sandie thanks for that address, that was good anticipation on your part because I was going to ask you the question today anyway because we're tossing up what to do over the weekend and heading that way was one of the options, is there any other shopping nearby as well? Perhaps you could also post some details of where the Saturday night 50s night you went to is as well, if you could please? And when I get back Sandie, I will have some time to get re-acquainted with Bubble Spinner, so look out!

Keith, we have 3 bags packed into other bags and we'll probably need to either buy another or make a shipment home. We have had a blowout on one of our bags so we'll need to redo our strategy anyway.

We are absolutely loving Disneyworld. Every park has something different to offer and is amazing in it's own right. Em loves Animal Kingdom, Ros loves Hollywood Studios, me EPCOT and Jess, well everywhere I think. But all the parks are great. Now we're in the Caribbean Beach, which is nice and good, we prefer French Quarter, but more on that later.
