WDW May/June 2007 Day 1 Followup

Here are some pictures from our first day right after we flew in from Washington DC.

This is our "home" at Old Key West.


There are signs all over the place celebrating the 15th Anniversary of the Disney Vacation Club. This is one of them.


We spent our first day at Epcot, which still has the Flower and Garden festival. There's a lot of pirate-themed display, understandably. But the one at the entrance is Peter Pan.


We went to see the Grand Fiesta, the new rehabbed ride in the Mexico pavilion. It was OK, but I was expecting a bit more.


Dinner at Alfredo's at the Italy Pavilion was fun. Too bad the pasta that we got was lukewarm and clumpy. I would think that, of all places, they would pay a greater attention to how they serve pasta here. To their credit, I thought the bread was EXCELLENT. It was crusty on the outside, and chewing on the inside, just the way it should be.

Here, the guests get to twirl their napkins while the musicians play/sing a tune.


We then stayed for Illuminations.





We took this picture on our way out.


One thing we noticed when we were driving in from the airport is that the "bugs" are back! This is this small, black, slightly reddish bugs that we encountered at WDW a few years ago, and they seem to be back. Our windshield was splattered with them as we're driving.


In fact, after we parked at Epcot, we saw this vehicle that has a front almost covered with it. These people must have driven quite a distance to get to that stage!


Today, we might head out to the Magic Kingdom in the morning, and maybe to Animal Kingdom in the afternoon. We shall see.

Zz.
