Spent yesterday at the Magic Kingdom with Grandson Zach, and today all day at EPCOT. Tired out, but just wanted to post the map pin and hold the spot for photos soon to be uploaded!

We had a wonderful time both days - Zach is an absolute delight to spend time with...polite, funny, and very appreciative of everything! His vocabulary blew us away, and he kept us both on our toes when we played word games in the car, too!

Luckily, neither of the parks was too awfully crowded - I think our longest line was about 55 minutes, but only once or twice in the two days did we have to wait that long! We actually got to see just about everything we wanted to see/ride/do, so there was no disappointment at the end of the days. The fireworks at Magic Kingdom were fabulous - so much so, that when it was nearing the end of our second day (at EPCOT) and none of us really wanted to stay any longer, Zach even said that he "couldn't imagine that there were any fireworks better than what we'd seen at Magic Kingdom, anyhow"...so we went home!
