Clowns in a Bakery: *Disney Magic*

Two thumbs up is what we give this years Disney Vacation (along with the sake from Teppan Edo in Epcot's World Showcase).

We started our journey at Port Orleans - Riverside. It's a Louisiana inspired resort complete with southern manor type accommodations. You can rent the boats pictured above and take a ride down the river to Downtown Disney.

We opted for the poolside bar, instead.

I love this photo!

This was on the 4th before our delicious dinner at Beast's castle in The Magic Kingdom! The rose was there and everything!

I believe my cue was "give me a silly pose," not "look like the big idiots."

Fast forward a few days and we moved ourselves (and 16 pieces of luggage - see below) to The Beach Club Resort, a.k.a. Disney's version of heaven.

Here we are manning the cargo.

This is where we pretty much lived each afternoon. Our plan of attack was to hit the parks early, so we could be out and poolside by the time our faces started melting.

Go, Go Gadget legs.

My parents flew into Tampa to visit my Uncle "Bobby" for a few days, so we rented a car (a VW Beetle to be specific) to spend some time on the Gulf Coast.

Grilling buddies.

There he is - Uncle Bobby!

Back at the Beach Club and enjoying a visit from Laurie!

Aren't our moms just fabulous? We think so.

ESPN Zone is what happens when us girls decide to have a spa day.

Either the bartender has a heavy hand or they're just that excited to be rid of us for the morning. Jeez. It must be the hand.

Here we are in the lap of luxury.

Classic shot at the Rockin' Roller Coaster!

It's still just as exhilarating as the 1st time - the roller coaster ride that is, not posing for this photo. Come to think of it, putting our arms around each other in 90+ degree heat was actually quite gross. But we got the shot!
