This is the non-water slide pool. In other words, it’s the quiet pool. It’s also likely the closest I’ll ever come to swimming in Tahiti.

It’s a magical place.

It’s becoming a Disney Souvenir tradition.

While at Animal Kingdom, I bought percussion instruments.

Oh yeah.

We are at Disney World this week.  We are staying on a Disney resort and that effectively means all previous Disney World trips have been invalidated.  What I mean is, we’re never coming here without staying on the resort again.  It’s an entirely different experience.  All of the previous trips were wonderful, but this one tops all of them.

As it turns out, the trip just happened to coincide with an internet songwriting game.  You’d think that I’d have to miss out on the music while on vacation.  Maybe… or maybe not.  We’re going out to eat at the hotel tonight.  As everyone was getting ready I snuck over to my computer and wrote bass and drum parts for two new songs.

It’s not much, but it’s something.

I feel like doing the Hot Dog Dance.

I almost got in a fight with one of those umbrellas. It was awesome.

I tried to live stream The Haunted Mansion on Instagram, but it was too dark and the cell signal was spotty. I might try again on other rides.

Splash Mountain maybe?

The flight was perfect. Our dinner reservation had some problems. It started raining the instant we walked into our first park. The room is wonderful. My back is killing me.

Day one is in the books. I grade it a success.

 

 

Addendum: The wifi here is complete garbage.  You’ll get pictures eventually.

Grilled chicken + Stranger Things = patio lunch.

While patiently waiting for the dryer to finish I sat in the yard with my 12-string noodling out ideas for 50/90.
