Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party

Amanda and I wanted to get into the Christmas spirit so we decided to spend 4 days at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campground and 2 nights at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.
Below is a video of the Totally Tomorrow Land Christmas which has replaced Mickey’s Twas the Night Before Christmas.

Amanda and I would like to thank Billy and Sue at http://www.ticketmomma.com/ for providing us tickets to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.
Some people have asked about our RV adventures. If you would like to see more about our trips take a look at http://www.amandasweeklyzen.com/
Amanda will be adding photos and updates after she finishes a few projects for her PHD program .
Merry Christmas everyone,
Norwood

Mickey's Golf Cart at Oak Trail

Mickey parked his golf cart out near the practice putting area today. Since he was off getting ready to tee I jumped in this cart while Norwood snapped a photo.

If you have ever been in Florida in the summer you will know that it is HOT! The best place to spend the sweltering daytime hours are at the two water parks Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach. Just make sure to have sun screen! Here is a couple of photos from our recent trip….

Pirates of the Caribbean Battle for Buccaneer Gold – Disney Quest

Pirates of the Caribbean


Well 4 out of 5 kids will tell you that I have saved the best game at Disney Quest for last… Pirates of the Caribbean Battle for Buccaneer Gold. Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for Buccaneer Gold is located on the first floor of Disney Quest. It is a virtual reality ride where you board a boat and you have to move around your ship to fire cannons at pirate ships so they will sink and you can take their gold. At the end in order to keep your gold you need to defeat the Captain.

Norwood and I played along with a father and daughter. Norwood was our Captain and as such he was in charge of driving the boat close enough to the other pirate ships so the rest of us the gunners, could shoot our cannons at the other pirate ships in hopes that they would sink and we would be able to take their gold. Norwood was a great driver we were able to take so much gold from pirates and only once were we attacked by a sea monster. But then just as we were all about to sail into the sunset with our gold the Pirate Captain came over with his ghost ship and tried to steal our gold! With our expert gunners we were able to defeat the Pirate Captain and keep our gold.

Disney Quest is a cool place if you like video games. What we noticed is that it is a favorite place of teenagers and kids who do not want to walk around the rest of Downtown Disney with their parents. We had fun but man can those kids play!
