Day 3
Day 3 is done, and so far so good!
We woke up to texts and snaps from people back in Iowa of the cold and the snow. Meanwhile, our day was hovering just around 80 degrees and mostly sunny. Oh, we did have a minor cloudburst of rain right near supper time. It was rough!
After our bus took a minor detour through the massive amounts of construction going on around Disney, we arrived at the most magical place on earth! Just ask anyone who works there, and they’ll tell you!
So much of what happened today was specific to the groups the kids were in, but the highlight for me was definitely the “Happily Ever After” fireworks show at the end of the night. Not only were there fireworks, but through Disney Magic they projected designs and videos onto the facade of the castle, transforming it into whatever the storyline demanded. Incredibly creative, and the way they tied the projections into the pyrotechnics was pretty incredible. I have decided that next year’s marching band show is going to incorporate both projections and fireworks. Never mind that projections wouldn’t work under stadium lights and fireworks aren’t allowed in marching band shows... it will happen!
Just a couple of photos today. The best is obviously the close-up of the duck that was wandering around one of the rides. But I guess the group shot in front of the castle is pretty okay, too.
Tomorrow: Universal Studios and Blue Man Group! Rumor has it it’s also somebody’s birthday, but I’m not sure who.
