Birthday Wishes and Sightseeing

This past Monday was a very big deal here at Disney. It was Mickey & Minnie’s 91st birthday!! Every cast member & guest that attended a park was given a special commemorative pin! Happy Birthday M&M!! A very nice camping neighbor gave me a pin. My friend Lori, who happens to be a cast member also received a Mickey cardboard cutout & balloon that now adorn her office.

Today Kim & I spent the day sightseeing. Our tour began at the Four Seasons Resort which is right next door to the FW Campground. The Four Seasons is a AAA five diamond resort nestled in a very secluded area between the campground & a high-end development called Golden Oaks. Meticulously groomed lush gardens, infinity water features & pillars of palms & cypress surround this incredible luxury resort.

We grabbed a coffee from the hotel’s coffee shop & continued on our self guided tour of the grounds which included 2 pools, a lazy river, recreation area & golf course.

We walked back to the car & headed to Disney Boardwalk where we toured the hotel lobby, saw an incredible gingerbread house & window shopped in the many stores that are located on the boardwalk. We continued walking & made our way to the Skyliner near Hollywood Studios. We boarded the aerial gondola & began our 60 foot high journey ‘flying’ 11mph over highways & the Swan & Dolphin, the Yacht Club, the Caribbean Beach & Riviera Resorts.

Just when I was used to sitting in a pod that was dangling from a wire, the ride ended. We walked back to the car & headed to Kim’s bungalow in my favorite town, Celebration. Her clutter less home is absolutely gorgeous & quintessential Florida with clean, crisp colors & sophisticated furnishings. Her home should be featured in a BH&G magazine! 👍🏠

We then headed into town where we enjoyed an awesome light lunch which consisted of yummy chicken noodle soup & a Chef’s salad with mango chutney dressing 😋!

Between walking with Kim & Sadie, my grand step total today was just over 18,151 which equals almost 7 miles 😳!

Kim, thanks for an aerobically awesome day 😃

Ref the video: When I arrived home, Sadie greeted me with a shredded plastic Disney bag. I have no idea where she found that bag??!!
