Evey and Eric are here! Off to WDW.

We picked Evey and Eric up at the airport around 11 yesterday.  Evey even had time to do the TSA pre-check interview for overseas clearance.  They are going to Iceland for a week on her birthday, so she wanted that to make it easier to get back in the country. Eric already had it.

They were pretty tired since they both worked Thursday and then took an overnight flight, but they are troopers.  They stayed awake and did stuff with us.  We had lunch at the Bistro, took a mile walk in the indoor track, and even checked out the progress on our new pharmacy and sundries store.  Mark and I did our fifteen minute weight routine while the kids played on their phones in the Palms lobby.  Then we had a nice Shabbat dinner and watched a Disney movie from 1989, Cheetah, before heading to an early bedtime around 10.  We got up at 5:30 because we are heading out at 7.

This weekend is the D23 Fan Club weekend at the Contemporary Resort Convention Center, so I booked us three nights at Old Key West with my DVC points.  That was before I knew E and E would be here, so they are happy to share the room with us and play at the parks.  This morning while we are registering at the convention, they have snagged an 8:40 a.m. Character Breakfast Buffet at Ohana in the Polynesian Resort.  Then they plan to check out all the Christmas displays in the three monorail resorts before checking in to OKW, maybe swimming in the pools in the afternoon, and then exploring Disney Springs for the rest of the day and evening.  We will meet them for dinner at 6:30 at Paradiso 37, and sometime in the evening we will see the new Drone Lights Display and Music which is being shown three times a night for the holidays at Disney Springs.  There's also a Christmas Tree trail to see.

Sunday while we are at the convention they will do Animal Kingdom all day.  Monday all four of us are going to Epcot.  They got us Fast passes for the new Frozen attraction and with luck we will make rope drop for Soarin'!

I am not taking my laptop on this trip, so there will be no blogs or pictures here until Tuesday night.  I will probably post a few pictures on Facebook when I can.

See you Tuesday night.
